New York Giants quarterback Mike Glennon suffered a wrist injury in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears and will miss the season finale against Washington at MetLife Stadium.
Head coach Joe Judge revealed the injury during his Monday presser burying the lede a bit.
“I’m really pleased with the way Mike has come to work every day this year. He’s played through a number of things, he got thrown into a different role. I like the way Mike prepares, the way he’s a team player. Obviously, there have been some times this year he’s been up and down,” Judge said.
“We started Jake (Fromm) a week ago over him. I thought he handled that the right way as a professional, put the team first and then he stayed ready and when his number was called and went back in. I’m pleased with what Mike’s done for the team and how hard he works.”
Then Judge finally dropped the hammer.
“It’s a shame, Mike got hurt in the game yesterday. He’s going to have surgery coming up soon and he won’t be available for the game this week. That’s really the one injury of note,” Judge said. “There’s a lot of other bumps and bruises in there. I know Mike wanted to go out there yesterday and compete and do everything he could for the team, and that’s the way his season will end.”
Giant fans won’t miss Glennon too much. He completed just four passes in 11 attempts for 24 yards on Sunday in what was one of the worst performances by a quarterback in recent memory.
Mike Glennon recorded a QBR of 0.0 yesterday.
He did not have enough plays to officially qualify, but if he had, it would have been the worst QBR game in the history of the metric — dating back to 2006.
Previous record was 0.3 by Peyton Manning in Week 10 of 2015 vs. Chiefs.

In Glennon’s absence, the Giants will likely turn to Jake Fromm. However, Judge said that practice squad quarterback Brian Lewerke will get some looks in practice this week.
