New York Giants Agree to Terms with DE Dave Tollefson: The Giants have reportedly agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent DE Dave Tollefson.

Roster Moves at Cornerback: The Giants waived/injured CB Bruce Johnson yesterday. Johnson ruptured an Achilles tendon during practice on Thursday evening.

“Very sorry and very sad about Bruce,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “Bruce had (injuries) two (years) in a row, the ACL knee and now the Achilles. We were all stunned by it because there was no reason why it should have happened. He was just backpedaling. He was just doing something of that nature and all of a sudden this occurs. Why it happens, I always ask myself that. I feel bad for Bruce.”

To fill Johnson’s roster spot, the Giants signed undrafted rookie free agent CB/S Darnell Burks (Fort Valley State).
