EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Nov. 8 (UPI) -- A left knee injury will cause New York Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer to miss the rest of the NFL season.

"I didn't think anything of it," Toomer said. "It was very disappointing when I got the MRI. This happened before on the right knee, so I kind of knew what it felt like when it happened."
The injury occured against the Houston Texans last Sunday.
This season, Toomer, a 10-year veteran, scored three touchdowns on 32 receptions for 360 yards.
In his career, the Michigan product has 47 touchdowns on 561 catches for 8,157 yards.
