Too many aches and not enough time to heal meant the Giants on Wednesday departed on their charter flight to Charlotte without three players who were injured in last Sunday’s 41-34 victory over the Buccaneers.

Right tackle David Diehl, running back Ahmad Bradshaw and third receiver (and punt returner) Domenik Hizon were all left off the flight, as their injuries will prevent them from playing in Thursday night’s game against the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Hakeem Nicks was ruled out later in the day.

Defensive end Adewale Ojomo (hamstring) also did not make the trip and has been ruled out.
