Giants Training Camp Notebook is a cliff notes style post aimed at giving Giants fans up-to-date news about the most recent training camp practices.- Tight end Darcy Johnson's season is over. Although original reports were quite positive, Johnson will require surgery on his right knee and will be promptly placed on injured reserve.
- The Giants made quite a few roster moves today, including the addition of defensive tackle Manuel Wright (Buffalo). They also signed offensive linemen Dan Parrish and Myniya Smith, while releasing defensive end Deke Bake, cornerback Travonti Johnson and offensive lineman Chris Patrick.
- Not practicing were Plaxico Burress, Corey Webster, Michael Stone, Gerris Wilkinson, Charrod Taylor, Craig Dahl and Gerrick McPhearson.
- To go along with the releases and injuries, the Giants had a relatively bad day on the field. Ahmad Bradshaw muffed a punt, Osi Umenyiora got called for being offsides, Steve Smith dropped a touchdown, Brandon Jacobs let a screen drop and Matt Lentz fumbled a snap ... then fumbled another one.
- You didn't think that was the end of the negativity, did you? Oh no, no, no. Both Josh Huston and Lawrence Tynes had horrible days kicking; each shanked what appeared to be an easy field goal. The Giants also botched a trick play when running back Derrick Ward tried to throw a pass that was intercepted by Will Demps.
Rapid Fire:
- Fear not Giants fans, there is a little good news and it starts with Jared Lorenzen who had his best practice of the offseason.
- Eli Manning also had a great practice, hitting both Amani Toomer and Jeremy Shockey regularly throughout the day.
- Sam Madison grabbed an interception this afternoon.
