Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora says that there has been no progress in talks with the team on a new contract.
"No real progress as far as the contract goes," Umenyiora said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
New York general manager Jerry Reese offered a little hope a couple of hours after the email, saying he expects to have the veteran back in the fold for this season.
"That situation, I won't make any comments on it," Reese said. "There are still some issues we are trying to resolve. But we expect him to be back."
