| | EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants cornerback Jason
Sehorn sustained his second straight season-ending injury, breaking
his left leg in the first quarter of 41-28 win over the New York
Jets on Sunday.

The Giants (6-6) also lost starting center Brian Williams with a
sprained left knee and backup running back Sean Bennett with a
sprained right knee.
Sehorn, who missed all of last season after tearing up his right
knee in the preseason returning a kickoff, will be sidelined at
least six weeks, which means his season is over unless New York
reaches the NFC title game.
Williams is only expected to be sidelined a couple of weeks,
while Bennett will be out three weeks after spraining his right
knee for the second time this season.
Sehorn was hurt on the third play from scrimmage after hitting
Jets receiver Wayne Chrebet nears their sidelines. He originally
thought it was a bruised calf and he returned for the next series,
playing all three plays.
He realized something was seriously wrong after tackling
Keyshawn Johnson on the first play of that second series.
"As I planted I felt something give a little," said Sehorn,
who watched the second half on the sidelines with the aid of
crutches. "... The third play I realized there was a little too
much movement."
It's the first time Sehorn has broken a bone in his life.
"I hope no one will be upset if when we play the Jets the next
time, I take the week off," Sehorn said.
Williams was injured while blocking on a play on which Kerry
Collins threw a 16-yard pass to tight end Pete Mitchell. Collins
scored on a sneak on the next play.
Williams' eye injury two years ago occurred on the third day of
training camp when he was poked in the eye by teammate Bernard
Holsey in a blocking drill.
Bennett was hurt late in the first quarter, and Mitchell
slightly sprained his right ankle late in the game.
