Giants CB Corey Webster (hip) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Panthers. Aaron Ross will start in his place opposite Prince Amukamara. What was already a juicy matchup for Cam Newton and Steve Smith gets even better.

Giants CB Corey Webster (hip) is listed as doubtful for Week 3. He isn't going to play, worsening an already poor Giants defense that will now have to lean heavily on its limited depth. Upgrade Steve Smith's matchup.

Giants CB Corey Webster missed Thursday's practice with a hip injury. Webster wasn't on the injury report Wednesday, so this is a new injury and one to monitor. Webster is New York's top corner, though his play has fallen off considerably since the start of last season. Even if Webster plays, Sunday's matchup with the Panthers remains a juicy one for Cam Newton.

CB Corey Webster has agreed to take a pay cut in order to remain with the Giants. Webster had all the makings of a true No. 1 corner as recently as midway through the 2011 season. Since then, his play has trailed off dramatically. It came to a head this year when he graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 109 corner out of 113 qualifying players. Webster will play out the final year of his deal for $4M instead of the $7.25M he was scheduled to earn.

ESPN New York suggests CB Corey Webster may need to take a pay cut this offseason. Webster is due $7.25 million in the final year of a six-year pact, which is awfully high for a guy that was completely torched in 2012. According to Pro Football Focus, opposing quarterbacks had a 106.6 rating when throwing at Webster. He graded out as their fourth-worst corner out of a qualifying 113 players. Webster will turn 31 in March.

The Daily News suggests the Giants could ask CB Corey Webster to take a paycut this offseason. Once considered a rising star as a shadow corner, Webster's play has fallen off dramatically over the last year-and-a-half. It came to a head in Week 16 as the Ravens chose to relentlessly attack Webster instead of rookie Jayron Hosley. He's due $7 million in 2013, the final chapter of a six-year deal signed in 2008. The Giants could be thinking about moving forward with Hosley and Prince Amukamara as their base corners.

Giants CB Corey Webster suffered a broken right hand in Thursday's win over the Panthers. The injury may have occurred in a tussle with Panthers WR Steve Smith, which is never advised. Webster missed time in the first half to get X-rays and a hard cast, but returned for the second half. He's confident that he will play next week versus the Eagles.

Giants CB Corey Webster left Thursday night's game against the Panthers with a hand injury. Webster ran to the locker room to get X-rays. With Michael Coe already out and only four corners active, Webster's loss could become a major issue. He had been shadowing Steve Smith.

The New York Daily News believes CB Corey Webster's play dropped off towards the end of last season. Beat writer Ralph Vacchiano considers Webster's performance against the Cowboys the worst he's ever seen from the veteran corner. Added one scout, "He wasn't good last year, either." The Giants secondary suddenly has the look of one that can be exploited for fantasy purposes.

Corey Webster believes his play this season places him in the Darrelle Revis class of cornerbacks. "I think I'm great," Webster said. "I think I'm the best thing out there. I don't think I'm second to nobody." Webster spent the majority of the Giants' regular-season win over the Patriots covering Deion Branch and held Michael Crabtree to a three-yard reception in the NFC Championship. His 52 tackles and six interceptions this season are both career highs.
