The New York Giants placed defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka on injured reserve with a herniated disk in his neck on Thursday. For the second time in four seasons, Kiwanuka's year is finished because of injury. But this time, his Giants career could also be over since he is in the final year of his contract. Kiwanuka said he expects to be ready by training camp. General manager Jerry Reese said in a statement he would like to see Kiwanuka return to the Giants next season. "It's painful for us to go this route with Kiwi, but we've exhausted all of our options," Reese said. "What's most important is for him to get healthy. We're praying and hopeful that by next fall he will be back at 100 percent and playing for the New York Giants." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5736982
