It just keeps on coming for the Giants.

Wide receiver Domenik Hixon has been lost for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in Monday's victory over the St. Louis Rams, the team announced. Hixon picked up the injury making a juggling 22-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter Monday.

It's the second time in as many years Hixon has torn the same ligament. Both incidents took place on the turf at MetLife Stadium. In the summer of 2010, Hixon tore the ligament during a minicamp practice at the stadium.

He joins Terrell Thomas and Clint Sintim as players who have torn their ACL for the second time. He also joins those two, as well as cornerbacks Bruce Johnson and Brian Witherspoon, as key players who have been lost for the season.

The Giants will also have to replace Hixon as a punt returner. After he left Monday's game, Aaron Ross took over.
