Kevin Boss to miss 4-6 weeks
New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss will miss the next 4-6 weeks including the team's mini-camp next month in order to have ankle surgery, according to Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger.
Boss missed a game in week five after initially suffering the ankle injury in week four and re-aggravating it later in the season.
Statistically, Boss had the best season of his young career: 42 receptions, 567 yards, five touchdowns.
Many had expected a breakout year for Boss, who was the Giants' fifth-round pick in 2007, but he ranked 19th among tight ends in receptions and 15th in receiving yards. His five touchdowns was one fewer than he had the previous year.
Since Boss will be healthy by camp, I would expect last year's numbers to be a worst-case scenario for him in 2010 and he certainly has the potential to exceed those numbers.
