Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe will return today after missing last week as Kansas City plays host to the New York Giants. The Giants have several notable injuries on the defense. As expected, CB Aaron Ross and DL Chris Canty will be out today.

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.

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.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin didn’t offer much of an update on Monday on his two starters injured in Sunday night’s game — WR Domenik Hixon and DE Justin Tuck.

Giants DE Justin Tuck wasn’t too pleased about injuring his left shoulder after being tripped by Cowboys OT Flozell Adams. “It was bush league,” Tuck told The Associated Press after the Giants’ 33-31 victory at Cowboys Stadium. “He did it a few times, and they (the officials) only called one.”

In my latest experts league draft, I decided to focus on wide receivers and passed on taking a second running back until the fifth round. Check out the my full roster to see if this little experiment worked.

One question for the New York Giants is how they’re going to replace departed veteran receivers Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer. The answer, as I see it, starts with rookie first-round pick Hakeem Nicks.

In what is likely to be a popular topic of conversation at Giants training camp, coach Tom Coughlin was asked Monday about his expectations for a relatively inexperienced wide receivers unit. Coughlin said he has seen enough from some of his young receivers to feel confident that they can fill that void left by Plaxico Burress.

Michael Fabiano discusses the fantasy implications of the NFL Draft.

Michael Fabiano believes the fantasy value of Eli Manning is in serious trouble if the Giants don’t trade for Braylon Edwards.

The Giants have been rumored to be working on a trade for Browns WR Braylon Edwards. That pleases Giants No. 1 WR Steve Smith, who says he would welcome another big-play receiver to give the team some depth at the position. Domenik Hixon isn’t as thrilled — mainly because he has been mentioned in the trade for Edwards.

With Plaxico Burress (not to mention Amani Toomer) now out of the mix, fantasy leaguers are now looking at different options at the team’s wide receiver position that include Domenik Hixon, Mario Mannigham, Sinorice Moss and Steve Smith.

Giants receiver Domenik Hixon has the unenviable task of replacing Plaxico Burress in the team’s offense. And after some early troubles — including a dropped potential touchdown pass against the Eagles — Hixon has seemed to have found his rhythm.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin didn’t have much to say on the injury front on Thursday, but the team listed a number of players as returning to practice after sitting out on Wednesday.

NFL Network’s Bob Papa is reporting that Domenik Hixon (ankle, foot) will start on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. It’s still a good idea to check back with us at gametime, but it appears to be safe to start Hixon in Week 15.
