    New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right ankle Monday, the team announced.

    Boss is expected to be out four to six weeks for the procedure, which will clean out debris in his ankle.

    Coach Tom Coughlin expects Boss to be back in time for training camp at the start of August.

    "The idea was to try to put him into the season without the pain, on a weekly basis-type stuff," Coughlin said.

    Boss is not the only Giant who will undergo surgery. Backup offensive lineman Kevin Boothe will be out for approximately four months after tearing a pectoral muscle while working out earlier this week, during the team's organized team activities. He will undergo surgery next week.
