The New York Giants have had tough luck at the corner position as Prince Amukamara and Bruce Johnson suffer back-to-back training camp injuries.
There's clearly been a bit of a thawing in the icy contract dispute between the Giants and Osi Umenyiora. Is it enough to get him back on the field?
According to WFAN's Paul Dottino, Kevin Boss has agreed to a multi-year deal with the Oakland Raiders, leaving the Giants with a gaping hole at tight end.
How much have we learned about Osi Umenyiora and his contract dispute? Not much, other than the Giants said on Thursday that the lineman claims to have a sore knee.
The Giants said Osi Umenyiora sat out Thursday's practice "because he says he has a sore knee." And according to the New York Post, Umenyiora "has told the Giants he may need knee surgery."
During the past four years, Giants running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs have been somewhat inseparable. So it's not surprising when Bradshaw became a free agent and went to the cash-strapped Giants for a new contract, Jacobs was the one who offered to restructure his deal.
Amukamara became the last unsigned first-rounder earlier Thursday when offensive tackle Nate Solder, the 17th pick, signed with New England and defensive tackle Corey Liuget, the 18th pick, signed with San Diego.
Go ahead and try to track the latest stock market reports, because that's the kind of training you'd need to make sense out of the ongoing Osi Umenyiora saga at Giants training camp.
WFAN's Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts are pumped up for the upcoming football season -- and with the Giants' Osi Umenyiora controversy brewing in East Rutherford, was there a better day to broadcast live from training camp?
The Giants giveth and the Giants taketh away. In an e-mail sent Wednesday to Osi Umenyiora's agent Tony Agnone, the Giants ordered him to cease speaking to other teams about a trade, which would require that the Giants receive a first-round draft pick as compensation.
Boomer started to come around to Craig's way of thinking on Wednesday regarding Osi Umenyiora's future with the Giants.
Perry Fewell said he limited Phillips' playing time last season with the former first-round pick coming off microfracture surgery and the Giants having the luxury of having veteran Deon Grant on the roster. That's not going to happen this season.
Still hoping there's a chance he will play for the New York Giants, two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora is annoyed he is being portrayed as a bad guy for asking the team to renegotiate his contract.
The Giants have slowly shaped their roster during the first part of training camp – with the latest entries being an agreement to retain RB Ahmad Bradshaw with a four-year, $18 million package and the signing of former Cardinals TE Ben Patrick.
Ahmad Bradshaw is returning to the New York Giants. The free agent agreed to contract terms with the Giants on Monday.
