Player Perspective: LB Mathias Kiwanuka

WR David Tyree will o miss 4-6 weeks with a broken left wrist; surgery scheduled for tonight. Also FB Robert Douglas is going to have his knee scoped, which means Reuben Droughns will see time at fullback on Thursday night as will TE Michael Matthews. No timetable on Douglas' return, by the way.

DT Marcus Bell was placed on IR with a knee injury.

Transactions: WR Will Buchanon, LB Karibi Dede, DB Richard Yancy, OT Myniya Smith, and OC Nick Jones were waived; TE Rodney Burgess (shoulder) was waived/injured; if he clears he could end up on the Giants IR list.  EJ Underwood (jaw), whose season was thought to be over, might not be done after all according to head coach Tom Coughlin.

Plaxico Burress was in the City today to have his back examined. Burress' back was apparently the reason why he didn't participate in the Jets game Saturday.

CB Gerrick McPhearson has a badly sprained ankle which will probably keep him out of action for a couple of weeks.

Also missing practice: OL Adam Koets (unknown), who had a post game X-ray taken after the Jets game and appeared to be waling gingerly; OL Grey Ruegamer (ankle); DE Adrian Awasom (abductor); P Jeff Feagles (back); CB Kevin Dockery (unknown); S Will Demps (elbow); and LS Ryan Kuehl. Kuehl was seen today walking around without crutches, which is a positive sign.
