The buildup to this New York Giants season is starting just like last year.

Cornerback Brian Witherspoon left practice Wednesday on a cart, and early indications from coach Tom Coughlin are that Witherspoon suffered an ACL injury, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News. It's a crushing blow for the fifth-year undrafted player, who also tore his ACL before the 2011 season.

Ugh. Awful news for @Spoony29 ... RT @ebenezersamuel: Coughlin on CB Witherspoon. Says he is afraid it was an acl again
