Umenyiora Could Need Knee Surgery


Wondering why no one is jumping on a deal for Giants DE Osi Umenyiora...

"The Giants informed reporters tonight Umenyiora has been sitting out because “he says he has a sore knee,” according to the team’s public relations staff. The key part there, of course, is the “he says” in that statement. Though the team says it has no reason to believe he isn’t in pain, it is clearly separating itself from the diagnosis.

A person familiar with Umenyiora’s status said he is dealing with a meniscus cartilage issue that, as The Wall Street Journal reported today, could require surgery. The person requested anonymity because the extent of the injury has not been made public (CBS Sports)."

Could be that he is just being a baby and this is his way of holding out of camp, but he has had a bunch injuries in the past and I think that's why teams are not jumping all over him. He is a hell of a player, but when a team is asking for a first round pick and he has these kind of concerns you're not going to see a lot of teams taking them up on that offer.
