The Giants will have to wait at least one more week to have their starting offensive line back together.
Left guard Justin Pugh has been ruled out for the fourth straight week due to the sprained MCL he suffered against the Eagles in Week Nine. Pugh seems to be moving toward a return as he took part in practice as a limited participant every day this week, but that may just be setting the stage for Week 14.
Adam Gettis got the start in Pugh’s place against the Browns last Sunday, but the Giants may have more options against the Steelers this weekend. Brett Jones and Marshall Newhouse, who have both seen time at the position since Pugh was injured, are listed as questionable after being ruled out last week.
The Giants have also ruled out safety Nat Berhe, linebacker Mark Herzlich and defensive end Owa Odighizuwa. The Steelers will continue to be without wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey and running back DeAngelo Williams, but are otherwise healthy for Sunday’s game.
