McKenzie To Start Despite Arrest

From The Giants Journal:

Giants tackle Kareem McKenzie was arrested last night in Little Falls, N.J. and charged with driving under the influence.

The details are here.

McKenzie spoke with Tom Coughlin and Jerry Reese early this morning about the incident.

“We are aware of the situation with Kareem,” Coughlin said. “I spoke to him this morning. He is extremely remorseful. The legal process will take its course, and the league will handle this matter. Nobody will be harder on Kareem than Kareem himself. He is very conscientious and has been a first-class citizen since he arrived here with our organization.”

This will not affect the playing status McKenzie on Sunday against Baltimore.

“I spoke with Coach Coughlin and Jerry Reese this morning and expressed my remorse for last night’s situation,” McKenzie said. “I am prepared to deal with the consequences of that situation from both a legal standpoint and as a player in the National Football League.”
