NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports that Giants WR Domenik Hixon (hamstring), DE Chris Canty (calf), CB Aaron Ross (hamstring) and RB Danny Ware (elbow) are all out for Sunday’s matchup with the Chiefs.

A look at the official Thursday injury reports reveals a number of ailing players — including Marion Barber, Darrelle Revis, Justin Tuck and Cedric Benson — taking part in full practices today.

Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris announced that RB Derrick Ward will start Sunday against the Giants, his former team, while Cadillac Williams (knee) and Earnest Graham (hamstring) nurse injuries. Williams and Graham both are listed as questionable on the team’s injury report.

The Giants might replace the production of injured rookie WR Hakeem Nicks by increasing the role of reserve Sinorice Moss.

As expected, Giants CB Aaron Ross will miss his second consecutive game with a hamstring injury. The Giants will also be without the services of DE Chris Canty, as reported by NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora. Canty strained his calf during practice on Wednesday and will miss a game for the first time in his five-year NFL career.
