Out for Week 18 Toney (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 matchup with Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Impact Toney showed flashes of brilliance but mostly spent his rookie campaign playing through or rehabbing injuries, primarily to his lower body until the recent shoulder issue cost him the final two weeks. Toney finishes with a 39-420-0 receiving line on 57 targets in 10 games, with the highlight being his 10-catch, 189-yard performance in a Week 5 loss at Dallas. That came on the heels of a 78-yard game the week before, but Toney never cleared even 50 yards again, making only five more appearances (Weeks 6, 8-9, 11, 16) after the memorable Week 5 outing. While he may stand a chance to escape the injury-plagued season without surgery, Toney faces an uncertain future in terms of QB play and coaching. Granted, he might be in 'any change is good change' territory, given that the Giants have fielded a bottom five passing offense by nearly any measure this year.
