Giants defensive end Justin Tuck says teammate Osi Umenyiora planned to address his troublesome right knee after the season. However, it kept swelling up after practice and became too much for Umenyiora to bear. "We had already talked about it and what his plans were going to be," Tuck said. "He came out in practice with every intention of letting his knee be dealt with in the offseason. After a couple practices it swelled up on him, and him and the Giants made a conscious decision to take care of it now. It wasn't like he planned on it. He planned on playing the season with it, but seeing how it was the first week of practice, he felt like the best idea was to take care of it now." Umenyiora, a two-time Pro Bowl defensive end, will miss three to six weeks, if not longer, after having arthroscopic surgery to clean out his right knee on Friday.
