Giants' Defensive Help

Update 6:15PM: DT Jay Alford will have knee surgery and is out for the season.

Safety Kenny Phillips is out and will be missed! Aaron Rouse has been picked up and should be ready soon. C.C. Brown, however, is expected to start for Phillips on Sunday against Tampa Bay. (Thank goodness the Giants aren't facing a tougher team!) Anyway, here are some stats on Rouse...

Aaron Rouse stats:
