Giants Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:15:34 PDT

Weak-side linebacker Michael Boley, the first free-agent signee for the Giants last spring, underwent hip surgery to repair a torn labrum and will be lost for eight to 10 weeks.

Boley apparently suffered the injury in an early OTA workout but kept going, even to the extent of fully participating in the recently held mandatory minicamp June 16-18, but had to succumb to the arthroscopic procedure last Wednesday.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.

Boley, who spent the first four years of his NFL career with Atlanta, was expected to win the starting weak-side job, but since he might not be back until just prior to the start of the regular season, that possibility becomes more and more uncertain.
