EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants cornerback Aaron Ross probably is going to be sidelined this week with inflammation in his right foot.
The team says Ross has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, an inflammation and swelling of tissue at the bottom of the foot.
Quarterback Eli Manning had the same problem last season and did not miss any games.
Ross, who backs up Corey Webster and Terrell Thomas, played in Saturday night’s 24-17 loss to Pittsburgh. He also has been the team’s primary punt returner. He had a 45-yard return against the Steelers that he nearly broke for a touchdown.
The Giants also said Monday that second-year receiver Ramses Barden and safety Michael Johnson are dealing with back problems.
