The wide receiver, who suffered the injury in a win over the Vikings over a week ago, faces a long rehabilitation process that could take up to nine months. Smith is expected to be on crutches for six weeks before he can begin his rehabilitation.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin said last week that the prognosis was good but said there will be restrictions on Smith during his rehab and practices.

It is likely the Giants will handle their Pro-Bowl receiver with kid gloves the way they did with safety Kenny Phillips, who underwent microfracture surgery last year and was eased throughout the offseason and training camp.

The wideout is in the final year of his contract and this injury could have financial implications in addition to complications of the looming collective bargaining agreement issue.

Eagles downer: Giants up 31-17

By Nick Fierro, OF THE MORNING CALL

3:48 p.m. EST, December 19, 2010

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — The New York Giants are 6-for-10 on third down conversions and own a commanding 24-3 halftime lead over the Eagles as a result.

The last score — an 8-yard pass from Eli Manning to Hakeem Nicks — came after the Eagles foolishly tried to advance the ball after receiving a kickoff following a Giants field goal with under a minute remaining.

Michael Vick hit Jeremy Maclin with a short pass, but Maclin fumbled and Kenny Phillips returned it 22 yards to set up a touchdown on the next play.



The Eagles had an encouraging start — until Michael Vick tossed an interception to set up a short field for their NFC East rivals on the Eagles’ first series.

But the Giants were unable to capitalize, as a crucial sack by Moise Fokou forced another Giants’ punt.

But the Giants did score on their third series when Eli Manning hit Mario Manningham with a 35-yard touchdown pass.

Near the end of the first quarter, a tipped pass by Eagles defensive end Darryl Tapp led to an interception by Quintin Mikell, giving the Eagles a chance to even the score.

They never came close.

The Giants already have 222 yards — 170 through the air.
