Kuehl Out For 2007 Season

August 29, 2007


Another hit for the Giants.

Veteran long-snapper Ryan Kuehl was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a calf injury.

It marked the second time in five years with the Giants that Kuehl will miss a season because of an injury. An elbow problem sidelined him in 2003.

Rookie linebacker Zak DeOssie (yes, the son of Steve DeOssie #99) will handle the snaps on punts, and rookie defensive tackle Jay Aford will snap on field goals and extra points.

Kuehl was hurt after making a snap in a non-contact punting drill in the opening days of training camp about a month ago.

“He took one step back and it looked like he got shot,” punter Jeff Feagles said after the injury.
