ALERT: Giants Steve Smith lost for season

The New York Giants' lineup has suffered yet another massive blow with wide receiver Steve Smith having to undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Smith underwent an MRI to his left knee on Tuesday. The Giants announced that he suffered an articular cartilage injury, the result of him being awkwardly tackled from behind in Monday's victory over the Vikings.

Smith's surgery has not been scheduled yet. He had just returned from a four-game layoff due to a partially torn pectoral muscle.

"Steve will not be able to play anymore," coach Tom Coughlin said. "I feel bad for Steve. He fights his way back and then [suffers] this injury. Our entire thoughts for the team are with Steve. First news was it may have been a hamstring or that type of injury."

Smith had 48 receptions for 529 yards and three touchdowns after making the Pro Bowl the previous season.

Fantasy Impact: 

Mario Manningham is a bit banged up but should be able to play this weekend against the Eagles. Derek Hagan will become the third option with Hakeem Nicks the WR1.
