Weakside linebacker Michael Boley and defensive tackle Chris Canty returned to the New York Giants for Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers. Boley has been out about a month after having surgery on his right knee. Canty has not played since sustaining a calf injury in the season opener. The Giants' defense has given up 112 points in losing its last three games. Backup defensive end Dave Tollefson was made inactive to clear space for Canty. Chargers starting inside linebacker Kevin Burnett was inactive for the game with an ankle injury. His status was questionable Friday. Brandon Siler replaced him in the starting lineup.
