The New York Giants will take on the Tennessee Titans this Sunday in Nashville and several things remain unsettled.
Among them are the team’s starters at left guard and inside linebacker. With Shane Lemieux on injured reserve and Blake Martinez having been released earlier this week, the Giants still have some decisions to make.
