Giants place Tyree on PUP/reserve
8/26/2008 10:53:16 AM MST
On the day when the Giants roster needs to be pared to 75 players on the active list, the Giants placed WR David Tyree on PUP/reserve, meaning he is now sidelined until Week 6. The Giants will have a three-week window to active him. The Giants also waived S Terrance Stringer off IR. In addition to waiving WR Michael Jennings, WR D.J. Hall and DB Miguel Scott, plus signing LB James Terry, the Giants need to clear just one more roster spot today, which could be taken care of by placing DE Osi Umenyiora on IR.
