East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - The New York Giants will have to do some shifting on the offensive line for Sunday's game against Houston, as center Chris Bober is suffering from a torn triceps muscle. Bober is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, but is not expected to play. Jason Whittle will move over from guard to center, with Tam Hopkins taking Whittle's spot at right guard. "The biggest difference is having the ball between your legs," Whittle said. "Making the calls and things like that, that comes pretty easy for me. The calls aren't the hard part. It's just different snapping and blocking at the same time. I've played center before. I don't think it's going to be a huge change." The Giants could also be without wide receiver Ron Dixon because of a knee injury that also kept him out of last week's game against Washington. However, Herman Moore will likely make his Giants debut. "I would anticipate unless something unusual happens, he'll play," said Giants head coach Jim Fassel. "We'll probably have him in a limited role. At the end of this week I'll sit down with him and see how comfortable he feels with everything. We have some things I think he'll do better to help us. He's a bright guy and he's learned well. We'll see how it goes." Moore was signed last week and was inactive for the game against Washington. Defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin is questionable and did not practice Wednesday because of a sprained ankle he suffered last week.
