The New York Giants, who have been seeking to bolster their quarterback depth chart since Jim Miller underwent hip surgery two weeks ago, acquired a potential challenger for the No. 2 spot behind starter Eli Manning on Monday, when they were awarded Tim Hasselbeck on waivers. Hasselbeck, 27, had been released by the Washington Redskins late last week. It was not immediately known if any other teams had submitted a waiver claim on him. Hasselbeck became expendable in Washington when the Redskins invested a first-round choice on Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell in this year's draft. "We got very fortunate that this young quarterback became available just when we need one," said Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi. "We're fortunate, especially since we had to wait out the waivers. We are pleased to have him."
