The New York Giants have decided to leave four injured players behind as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Inside linebacker Bobby Okereke, outside linebacker Patrick Johnson, and offensive lineman Aaron Stinnie have all been ruled out, while cornerback Greg Stroman has been downgraded to out. Okereke's herniated disc has kept him sidelined for three games, raising concerns about his season.

Rookie Darius Muasau is stepping in for Okereke, while the team is hopeful for the return of some injured cornerbacks.
