After two seasons with the Giants that produced only 26 receptions for 230 yards and no touchdowns, Moss vowed to improve in the 2008 campaign. However, Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks, quickly surpassed Moss on the depth chart.

During the preseason, Moss competed for the return specialist job, but suffered from a sports hernia and on August 31, 2010, was placed on season-ending injured reserve.
