Terrell Thomas Placed On Injured Reserve; Jimmy Kennedy Signed
The New York Giants placed injured cornerback Terrell Thomas on Injured Reserve today, officially ending his season. Thomas, of course, tore an ACL during the first half of Monday's 41-13 preseason victory over the Chicago Bears. The Giants also waived/injured cornerback Brian Witherspoon, who also tore his ACL Monday, and wide receiver Samuel Giguere. Giguere tore a hamstring in practice last week.
In a bit of brighter news, the Giants officially announced the signing of veteran defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy in a move that had been expected for several days.
Kennedy is an eight-year veteran who played sparingly for the Minnesota Vikings last season. He joins veterans Rocky Bernard and Gabe Watson is competing for a roster spot along with Chris Canty and youngsters Linval Joseph and Marvin Austin.
Kennedy, a Yonkers native, was drafted in the first round (12th overall) by the St. Louis Rams in 2003. The Giants are Kennedy's fifth NFL team.

But he can't play CB
I actually don’t know anything about this Kennedy guy. Anyone got info?

Classic runstuffer. Pretty decent, though old and had a down year last year.
I’d say he’s better than Bernard.

We will be fine as long as Webby and AR
stay healthy, also with the front 7 dominating, we should be able to make up for all this CB loss. I mean we have more pass rushers than a pro bowl team. there are NO EXCUSES.

Yes... they signed Jimmy Kennedy
Boom, take that Eagles…. your move
Hey coughlin, heard there’s an opening in Cleveland. You should fit right in….. Loser!
I think Coach Coughlin should be fired! How come there are no locals in that line-up. Nothing to give the fans a name they know, nobody on that roster that went to Rutgers University, St Johns or any team from New York or New Jersey. And if the locals can’t get a shot on the franchise from the state they live in, why are we fans going to these games. To see some other state, and see our players play for foreign teams (other states) this is the first time in 20 years, the Giants don’t have any locals on their roster.

Stupid qestion......
The Giants also waived/injured cornerback Brian Witherspoon. I don’t know the rules but does he still gets paid or is he on his own.
I really liked Jimmy Kennedy
coming out of college. Hasn’t done much, and it would seem like he’d be behind Watson and especially Bernard, but they must have seen something made him worth a tryout.

I know its early yet but
is anybody else not getting the greatest feeling about Marvin Austin? There have been a lot of young guys making impressions this preseason and IMO he hasn’t really been one of them (which surprises me).
your mom goes to college
Not really
he hasn’t seen alot of PT, and he’s had more time off than most rooks. He may be a development this year the same way Anvil was last year, and he’ll be a beast in te future. He’s made a couple effort plays already.

He definitely needs work.
And that was to be expected with not playing football at all last year.
He does not look overmatched, has shown good effort, and with the way the Giants develop Dlineman, I am optimistic. For next year.
I will be at the season opener NYG @ WAS with a few friends. If you are going and feel like looking up a fellow BBVer and having some fun, let me know.
Maybe...
we can get someone coming off of the waiver wires. Cuts will be coming soon, there will be some older vets available.

Agree on Austin
He was pretty average last night. I thought he’d be the guy that would dazzle and convince Coughlin to start a rookie for a change.
Marvin Austin tore his pec, likely out for season
No words

I think the Giants need to re-evaluate their medical staff after the year
The number of injuries we’ve suffered this year is absurd

Its not their fault
although I’m putting it out there now: Austin tore his pec bench pressing.
and we're only 2 weeks into preseason games
who knows what this team could look like come Week 8

I can, but I'm a little bit of a diva
so Tom will probably have to make me the backup for disciplinary reasons.

Medical Staff
Has nothing to do with guys ripping up their knees getting legs caught in the turf or torn pecs. It just happens. Muscle pulls and stuff, maybe, but not these injuries.

Austin now, what the hell. I miss the lockout, no injuries then.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I think my head is going to explode…
This sucks on multiple levels.
He will have been out of football for 2 years when this is all over.Screws his development.

wow the blimp is coming closer and closer...
lets look at the brightside though….now we get at least enough material for 3 more comedy threads from the fine folks at espn and facebook!

Austin
Syler, where are you getting the Austin rumor. I can’t find any info any where?
It's on the official Giants Twitter page.
Darth Vader: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to Rhett Bomar.
Luke Skywalker: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Darth Vader: No. I am Rhett Bomar.
Luke Skywalker: No... that's not true! That's impossible!
It's confirmed.
Marvin Austin tore his pectoral muscle. Surgery needed and out for the year. This is just getting ridiculous now.

#Giants Coach Coughlin: DT Marvin Austin has torn his left pec and it wil require surgery. TC said most likely be season ending #nyg

Luke Skywalker: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Darth Vader: No. I am Rhett Bomar.
Luke Skywalker: No... that's not true! That's impossible!
It's not even the third preseason game yet.
I honestly think someone big is going to get injured.

We are ridiculously deep on the Dline.
I don’t think this hurts us too much this year.
It hurts Marvin’s development and the idea of him contributing alot next year.
I will be at the season opener NYG @ WAS with a few friends. If you are going and feel like looking up a fellow BBVer and having some fun, let me know.
We're not as deep as year's past
Our tackles are Canty, Bernard, Joseph and Kennedy
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
I wonder if this was just a phantom injury to just IR him and get the roster spot
he didn’t seem ready anyway. To just learn the playbook then get next year’s camp under his belt, he should be fine.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Interesting....
