Tyree Has Knee Surgery:  WR David Tyree had surgery on his right knee last week and will not be able to practice until training camp starts in late July.  He will miss the Organized Team Activity (OTA) days and the full-squad mini-camp.  The details of the injury are not known but Tyree said the knee "locked up on him" at some point during the past couple of weeks.  The Daily News Giants’ Blog is reporting that Tyree may have partially torn his meniscus.

"It more or less happened after (the season)," Tyree said.  "It’s something that they basically had to go in, take care of and clean up…I had to go take care of business.  I looked at the MRI and it was the best decision.  It was basically do it now or take the chance of going into the season and have something worse happen."

"I’m not the least bit worried about it and I’ll be ready for training camp," said Tyree.

TE Kevin Boss on the assertion by some that the Giants were better off without TE Jeremy Shockey last season: "It’s disappointing to me, it upsets me how he’s been treated in the media since the Super Bowl.  People have kind of just given up on him.  It’s upsetting for all of us as a team to have all of our teammates talked about like that…It would tear anybody up.  That’s upsetting for all of us as a team.  We wouldn’t have been there without Jeremy.  He made a lot of big plays to get us where we were…He’ll be back.  I’ve got a lot more to learn from him.  He’s been a great mentor.  Obviously he’s a better player than me.  He can do some things I can’t yet."
