Giants re-sign WR Hixon

The New York Giants re-signed wide receiver Domenik Hixon on Friday.

Hixon played just two games in 2011 before suffering a torn ACL. He suffered the same injury in 2010 and did not play in a game that season.

"It's one of those things, they gave me an opportunity when I got released from Denver (in 2007)," said Hixon. "And then these past two years with knee injuries they stuck with me. They could have cut me and let me be on my way and be done with me. But they didn't do that. They treated me the same and I really appreciate that. I know a lot of times in the NFL loyalty isn't that big. But in this situation I really felt like I wanted to be here. They helped me out time and time again. I wanted to stay here and repay that."

In 48 career regular-season games with Denver and New York, Hixon has caught 63 passes for 838 yards and four touchdowns. He has also returned 51 punts for 561 yards and 80 kickoffs for 1,966 yards.
