New York Giants Place LaVar Arrington on IR; Sign DE Adrian Awasom to Active Roster: As expected, the Giants have placed LB LaVar Arrington (torn Achilles tendon) on Injured Reserve, officially ending his season. To fill his roster spot, the Giants have signed Adrian Awasom from the Practice Squad.
New York Giants Sign Cornerback to the Practice Squad: To fill DE Adrian Awasom’s spot, the Giants signed CB Dennis Davis to the Practice Squad. Davis was originally signed by the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted rookie free agent after the 2006 NFL Draft out of Georgia Tech. The Raiders released him at the end of August.
Injury Update: DE Osi Umenyiora (hip flexor), DE Justin Tuck (foot), CB Sam Madison (hamstring), and WR Sinorice Moss (quad) did not practice yesterday. All remain “questionable” for the game against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
LB Carlos Emmons (pectoral muscle), S Jason Bell (concussion), CB Frank Walker (hamstring), and HB Derrick Ward (foot) practiced. All four players remain “questionable” for the game.
WR Plaxico Burress (heel) practiced and remains “probable.” “He worked today some,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “He’s still a little bit sore.”
Notes: Head Coach Tom Coughlin said Carlos Emmons will start at strongside linebacker, but that Reggie Torbor should play some as well.
