EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Oct. 15 (UPI) -- The New York Giants placed veteran defensive tackle Keith Hamilton on injured reserve Tuesday, officially ending his season.
Hamilton ruptured his right Achilles tendon in the first quarter of Sunday's 17-10 loss to Atlanta. The 11-year veteran will undergo surgery later this week.

A fourth-round draft pick in 1992, Hamilton has missed only eight games in 10 years. He began the season fourth on the franchise's all-time sacks list with 61 1/2.
To take Hamilton's spot on the roster, the Giants signed defensive end Byron Frisch, who had three sacks in 13 games with Dallas last season.
