Who can ever forget New York Giant's David Tyree's the one-handed catch of a pass against his helmet and the game-winning touchdown against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII! It was announced Thursday that Tyree has been placed on the physically unable to perform list by the Giants because of continuing problems recuperating from surgery on his right knee.
It is amazing that Tyree only had 4 catches during he regular season for 35 yards. In the playoff run to the Super Bowl he had 4 catches for 47 yards, including the unforgettable 32-yard reception of an Eli Manning pass after escaping a Patriots rush.
The Giants had to put the 6 year veteran on the injured list before the 1st practice in training camp as a precaution for putting him on PUP during the regular season. If that does happen, he will have to miss the first 6 weeks of the season and would be eligible to return to practice any time between weeks 7-9. The team would have 21 days from his return to practice to activate, waive or place him on a season-ending injured reserve. He can however come off the injured list any time during training camp.
