The moment wide receiver Domenik Hixon crumbled to the turf at New Meadowlands Stadium on June 15, the first day of Giants minicamp, it seemed he was out for the season due to a knee injury.
After some hope that he had just tweaked the knee, tests confirmed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Today, the team announced Hixon was waived/injured, which is a prerequisite to his being placed on injured reserve if he clears waivers.
The Giants replaced Hixon on the roster with Adam Jennings, an Atlanta Falcons draft pick who played last season and part of 2008 with the Detroit Lions. With only six career receptions (all in 2007 with the Falcons) the 5-9 Jennings primarily functions as a return specialist.
