EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Kirby Puckett Twins Jersey .J. - In his 19 seasons as an NFL head coach, Tom Coughlin of the New York Giants hasnt had one like this.Its not the losses that make this season different. Its the injuries.With a month left in the regular season, the Giants (3-9) have placed 19 players from their active roster on injured reserve and another one from their practice squad on the list.Five players, including offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz and defensive ends Mathias Kiwanuka and Robert Ayers, were placed on injured reserve Tuesday, the single largest number of players that a Coughlin-coached team has put on the list in one day during his career.Even coaches are getting hurt. Special teams co-ordinator Tom Quinn injured a calf on Sunday in a loss to Jacksonville when he turned to let players know there was a punt team alert and pulled a muscle. He wore a boot at practice Wednesday as the Giants, the losers of seven straight, started preparations for Sundays game against the Titans in Tennessee.The 68-year-old Coughlin is at a loss to explain the injuries. The team worked on reducing soft-tissue injuries this season, but most of the players who have gone on injured reserve have had injuries that have resulted surgery or will require surgery.I feel badly for any player who has his heart and soul in what hes doing and is denied that because of an injury, Coughlin said. I feel badly for them and, then again, we speak to the opportunity that comes to the next in line. And weve had a lot of next in lines, Ill say that.The biggest changes this week will be on the offensive and defensive lines.With Schwartz out for the season after playing in only two games and Justin Pugh returning from a quad injury, the offensive line will have the same look as it had for the first 10 games. Pugh will replace Schwartz at right tackle and the rest of the line will be Will Beatty at left tackle, Weston Richburg at left guard, J.D. Walton at Center and John Jerry at right guard.Pugh, who missed the last two games, said the goal is to win a game, finish strong and compete. Those who dont may not be back next season.This is the time you have to go out there and make sure you are playing hard, but you dont want to think about it that way either, Pugh said. That is such a negative thought. You go out there and play hard and have fun with your teammates.For defensive end Damontre Moore, this will be the chance that many have wanted to see. The athletic second-year player probably will move into the starting lineup with Kiwanuka and Ayers sidelined. He already has shown he can rush the passer. He has to show he can also stop the run.This is a great opportunity for him, defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins said. You dont want the opportunity with that type of situation happening. But its here and presenting itself and he has to take full advantage of it, and I think he will.Safety Antrel Rolle said this has been a weird year in terms of the number of injuries. However, he refused to use injuries as an excuse for the current record and missing the playoffs a third straight year.Obviously, this is a disappointing season for everyone, Rolle said. You have to go out there and keep fighting, that is all you have at this point.The Giants have been in position to win their last three games, but failed to make plays in the fourth quarter.Quarterback Eli Manning said the Giants have not stopped working hard despite their weekly failures. They have not won a game since Oct. 5 .We know weve got to play better and guys want to do that. There is no quit in this group, he said. Were going to work out tails off to get that win.NOTES: OT James Brewer (concussion), LB Mark Herzlich (concussion) and RB Rashad Jennings (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. DT Cullen Jenkins (calf), LB Jameel McClain (knee), CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (back-shoulder), LB Jacquian Williams (concussion-shoulder) practiced on a limited basis. ...Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger played with fellow rookie Odell Beckham Jr. at LSU. When asked about Beckhams one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys two weeks ago, Mettenberger didnt hesitate. He has had better in practices at LSU, he said, later adding: Trust me, if you can get your hands on some of the practice film at LSU you could see just how freaky of catches that he has made in the past.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Fernando Romero Jersey . -- Having already fallen behind because of the NFL lockout, Blaine Gabbert couldnt afford a lengthy holdout.

Arsenal had already scored its goals in the third round fixture when the fierce rivalry turned ugly in the final ten minutes as Walcott was being carried off on a stretcher.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox placed right fielder Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season. Both times its been because of a strained right hamstring. He was sidelined from the start of the season until he was activated April 24. Outfielder Daniel Nava was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket. Also, designated hitter David Ortiz and first baseman Mike Napoli were not listed in Saturdays lineup because of injuries. The flurry of activity took place before the Red Sox played Tampa Bay, with Boston trying to end an eight-game losing streak. Manager John Farrell said Ortiz has a calf injury. Napoli is still feeling the flu-like symptoms that sidelined him Wednesday and Thursday in addition to hamstring, calf and finger issues. "Were beat up," Farrell said. Saturday was a planned day off for Ortiz to deal with his injury. "This is what his situation called for," Farrell said. Napoli could miss a few days. "I cant say this is a one-day thing," Farrell said. "It might be more days needed than that, and were hopeful to avoid a down time on the DL as well with him. Ryan LaMarre Twins Jersey. " Victorino aggravated a hamstring injury from spring training running to first base in the ninth inning of Friday nights 1-0 loss to Tampa Bay. "We recognize where were at," Farrell said. "You have to separate the individual from the teams win-loss record and the streak were on. Its compounded by the stretch that were in, but at the same time, you cant push a guy past a point where its detrimental for him and the risk-reward bar is swayed into the risk category." Victorino missed 22 games early in the season. "We think, through the exams so far, its not as severe as the injury at spring training, but in combination with hamstring and just overall physical ailments that hes battling right now, the two-week break is needed," Farrell said. In 21 games this season, Victorino hit .242 with one homer and 10 RBIs. Nava began the season with Boston. He hit .149 with two homers and three RBIs in 17 games before being sent to Pawtucket on April 22. Last season with Boston, Nava batted .303 with 12 homers and 66 RBIs in 134 games. ' ' '
