Two outlets, one wire fact, nothing underneath
Tremaine Edmunds tore up his right shoulder and is done for the year. That is the whole story, and two outlets have it at roughly the same depth. The NY Post adds one sentence of actual context — that the Giants have claimed all season they carry three starting-caliber inside linebackers, and now that claim gets tested. Neither outlet names a timeline, a surgery decision, or a replacement.

What happened
New York Giants linebacker Tremaine Edmunds suffered a season-ending right shoulder injury, the team confirmed. Edmunds, a veteran inside linebacker signed to bolster a Giants defense that has struggled through a difficult season, will not return this year. No surgery details or recovery timeline have been reported. The Giants have publicly maintained they have three starting-caliber inside linebackers on the roster, meaning the depth behind Edmunds will now face live game scrutiny. Two outlets have the story, and they are carrying essentially the same information.
What one side told you that the other didn't
No outlet named who starts in Edmunds's place.
The NY Post is the only source to gesture at a consequence, noting the Giants' three-linebacker depth claim will now be tested. Neither outlet names the specific players who would step into the starting role, cites Edmunds's contract or cap implications, or reports whether surgery is planned. For a season-ending injury to a starting linebacker, the practical football question — who plays Sunday — goes completely unanswered across both pieces.
What to watch
If the Giants name a replacement starter at linebacker before their next game, watch whether any outlet circles back to the depth claim the NY Post flagged. If the replacement struggles, that one sentence of context becomes the whole story.
