Add Rich Seubert to the list of the New York Giants' walking wounded. The team's starting left guard is going to be sidelined indefinitely because of a broken bone in his left hand, the team said Friday.
Coach Tom Coughlin said Friday that it's a fallacy to think an offensive lineman can simply tape his hand, put a cast on it and play.
"If the metacarpal twists, they have to do surgery, put a pin it in and it's out for six weeks," Coughlin said after practice ended Friday.
The coach said if the broken bone is given a little time to heal, it's more likely the player will be back sooner.
"We're not going to let him go right back out," said Coughlin, who saw his team battle injuries last season in missing the playoffs with an 8-8 record.
The Giants will get an idea how long Seubert will be out when he is examined by Dr. Russell Warren on Saturday.
