"Gress, 6-7 and 300 pounds, is a rookie free agent from Penn State, where he played in 32 career games with 12 starts. As a senior in 2013, he started eight games as part of a three-man tackle rotation with Gary Gilliam and Donovan Smith." Link - ( New Window )
Another Sean Locklear, Stacy Andrews type...It looks the end for Brewer unless they need someone who can play TE in their goal line or short yardage formations...even that may not be enough.

Agreed DD I think the Giants will carry 9 OL this season and barring injury the backups for week one will be Jerry, Richburg, Brown, and a veteran who isn't on the roster yet.
...the Giants keep only eight OL. It doesn't make sense to keep 9 OL on the 53 man roster if the 9th guy isn't any better than someone you could keep on the practice squad. It's not like all nine would be active on game day.
this just preliminary? Will he ultimately be waived with an injury settlement?
I would expect that to be the case AcidTest, unless it's a serious injury that actually threatens to keep him out for the year. I think Kris Adams was the only player from last season who had a problem in this situation. Kropog's agent and the Giants will most likely come to an agreement though, as is typical in situations like this.

Could it have happened later, perhaps while he was lifting?
PMS, there were 254 players drafted in 2011. 116 before Brewer, 137 after him. But, yeah, that's pretty high, boy howdy. Fire Reese Now!
