Let's hope they get this fixed before our guys take the field against the Jets. An injury on this field in Week 1 could cripple us out of the gate.

Domenik Hixon's season is over; turf may be to blame

The Giants better hope their first practice at the New Meadowlands Stadium isn't an omen.

Wide receiver Domenik Hixon will miss the 2010 season with a torn ACL suffered on Tuesday. The Giants initially thought Hixon escaped with a minor injury, but an MRI Wednesday afternoon revealed the full damage.

The Giants have to be sick because it appears the team's new FieldTurf is largely responsible. Coach Tom Coughlin, speaking before he knew the extent of Hixon's injury, spoke about breaking the turf in.

"We're aware of it, we're continuing to work with it, we're asking the turf people to take another look at the field and some of the thoughts we had about shoes and such," Coughlin said. "I think it's pretty much new, just because it's new."

Hixon was second in the league in punt return average last year and is the team's best kick returner. He's also the Giants' No. 4 receiver.

And now he's gone for the year, apparently because the playing surface wasn't ready.
