Giants Sign CB Brian Williams, Waive LB Kenny Ingram

Giants Sign CB Brian Williams, Waive LB Kenny Ingram: The Giants have signed unrestricted free agent CB Brian Williams (Atlanta Falcons). The Giants also waived LB Kenny Ingram.

“(Williams) is a veteran who knows how to play,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “He has been a good physical blitzer and we are in need of someone who can learn quick and go from there.”

Injury Report: Missing practice yesterday were QB Sage Rosenfels (illness/back), WR Mario Manningham (personal issue), OT Will Beatty (migraine), DE Osi Umenyiora (knee surgery), CB Prince Amukamara (foot), CB/S Brian Jackson (hip), and PK Lawrence Tynes (quad).

WR Darius Reynaud returned to practice after missing a week with a hamstring injury.

Both WR Ramses Barden (ankle) and OC Adam Koets (knee) remain on the Physically-Unable-to-Perform (PUP) List.

Koets apparently had his knee scoped this week. “He wasn’t making a lot of progress, so the doctor wanted to take a look at it to see what he could see and help him,” Head Coach Tom Coughlin said.

The Star-Ledger is reporting that Barden was running full speed on the sidelines at practices and “looked very, very good.”
