Giants starting center Shaun O'Hara, dealing with left Achilles' tendinitis and ankle swelling, was placed in a hard cast Thursday and will likely miss the remainder of the preseason.

O'Hara said he expects to keep the cast on for up to five days.

Left guard Rich Seubert will take O'Hara's starting spot for Saturday's preseason game in Baltimore and play the first 20 to 25 plays before giving way to second-string center Adam Koets.

''It's just something I've been dealing with pretty much all through camp,'' O'Hara said. ''I've had some good days and some bad days. It's been something we've been kind of coping with and working through. It's reached the point where we decided we need to just try to isolate it and give it some complete and total rest.''

O'Hara hopes addressing the issue now will have him ready for the season opener Sept. 12 against Carolina.
