@RVacchianoNYDN: OT Rogers Gaines, waived by the Giants on Saturday, cleared and was added to their injured reserve list.
I'd love to know when he got hurt.  
Klaatu : 8/31/2014 8:02 pm : link
I thought he was still on the field at the end of the Pats game.

Me too. He played right to the end and seemed fine. Strange. I suppose it could be an injury that wasn't readily apparent until he cooled down, or one that was later diagnosed as more severe than initially thought.

As far as practicing, I don't think that's allowed for players on IR. Not sure about meetings, etc.
The team has two basic choices with Gaines:  
Big Blue Blogger : 8/31/2014 8:38 pm : link
1) Leave him on IR for the year, in which case he can attend meetings and do rehab but can't participate in practice. In other words, act as though he went straight to IR without being waived.

2) Give him an injury settlement - most likely for the minimum six week "major injury" period - and release him. Another team could sign him, or he could be eligible to rejoin the Giants around Week 12 (six weeks after the end of the period covered by his settlement).

If they go with option 2, I'm not sure what restrictions apply to him joining a practice squad.

thank you
Wondering why the Giants did not fill all 10 slots today?  
Steve in South Jersey : 8/31/2014 9:29 pm : link
are they bringing in players for tryouts for the last 3 spots?
maybe painter  
SBlue46 : 8/31/2014 11:06 pm : link
Was offered ps and is mulling other oportunities
SBlue46: Painter could not be offered a practice-squad slot.  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/1/2014 12:18 am : link
He has far too much credited service, even for the two positions with liberalized rules.
One would think  
Sir-Yes-Sir : 9/1/2014 12:22 am : link
they would sign a qb before they're done...

Painter is ineligible, but they'll probably need a young arm just to help out in practices, especially if they want to give eli some rest during the week once the season's in full swing.

My best guess:
They are expecting to sign (or re-sign) some veterans after week 1, and some of the young guys now on the active roster will end up waived, and then possibly land on the practice squad.
I think  
SBlue46 : 9/1/2014 9:27 am : link
Sam gets workout..I'd' make him a lb...back qb maybe..
definitely a vet Oline...tc will have a bunch of guys try out
grimble  
SBlue46 : 9/1/2014 9:30 am : link

Asper added to PS per Graziano

I think they could give Sam a shot as well. They kept Ojomo around for a couple seasons for getting sacks in the preseason. Sam is a DE, not a LB. May the Giants NEVER go down the convert DE to LB road again.
