The 2014 season is over for New York Giants defensive end Robert Ayers.

Ayers tore a pectoral muscle during Sunday’s 25-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and he will be placed on injured reserve, according to multiple reports Tuesday.

In his first season with the Giants after signing a two-year, $4 million contract in April, Ayers shared the team lead in sacks with five and had 22 tackles.

The 29-year-old Ayers’ absence likely means more playing time for second-year defensive end Damontre Moore and rookie Kerry Wynn.

Wynn had a half-sack in his NFL debut on Sunday.

Ayers joined the Giants after five seasons with the Denver Broncos. He has 164 career tackles and 17 sacks.
