September 22, 2008 New York Giants Injury Report: CB Aaron Ross injured his shoulder in the game against the Bengals on Sunday. “He bumped his shoulder, it’s sore,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “You see him go back in and then hit it again. It is a reoccurring type thing. I think he has enough time now (with the upcoming bye week), hopefully, to get over that.”
When asked if Ross’ injury was chronic, Coughlin responded, “He had something like that last year, I think, but I don’t know if I would say chronic.”
DE Jerome McDougle was inactive for the game against the Bengals because of issues with his knee and calf.
