Giants WR #85 is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after breaking his wrist.
Tom Coughlin discusses Tyree’s injury and other injuries here on Giants.com.
It’s no secret, but the Giants definitely have some issues at WR with a bunch of injuries. Most notably is Plaxico Burress who has missed some practice with an injured back.
In a New York Post article Tom Coughlin says the team has no intentions of trying out kickers outside the organization. Against the Jets on Saturday, both Giants kickers, vet Lawrence Tynes and novice Josh Huston, missed makeable kicks. Tynes missed from 40 and 43 before hitting a 40 yarder and Huston missed a 42 yarder. That’s 9 points! Yikes!
Gary Myers of the NY Daily News reports that Michael Strahan continues to mull retirement. Strahan missed all of Giants training camp this year.
“It’s no distraction, no distraction at all,” defensive end Osi Umenyiora insisted Monday, according to the Daily News. “We’re all pretty much focused on what we need to do. We still have another preseason game. We’ve got Dallas in two weeks.”
An article in the Newark Star Ledger reports that Eli Manning’s 111.3 quarterback rating is ninth-best in league and his completion percentage is 10th, HOWEVER, there are concerns over the Giants’ offensive line’s depth. Because we needed more questions with the Giants offense? According to the Ledger, the Giants offense is “walking the line.” Reporting by Johnny Cash. And that, my friends, is what we call a joke. Try the veal, I’ll be here all week.
On Monday, the Giants announced several roster cuts. The Giants have until 4 p.m. Tuesday to get down to 75 players.
Enjoy the U.S. Open everyone and get pumped for Dallas,
Ryan
