[size=7]Michael Strahan visits old mates, stops by Giants training camp[/size] BY RALPH VACCHIANO DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Friday, August 15th 2008, 9:54 PM ALBANY - It took a Super Bowl championship, a retirement and a job in a television studio to do it, but Michael Strahan finally made it to training camp. Last evening, the ex-Giant, who held out of camp last year while pondering retirement (but not actually retiring) made his first appearance at the University at Albany since 2006. Wearing a gray workout T-shirt and gray shorts, he looked ready to participate in drills. In fact, after hugging his former star defensive end, Tom Coughlin told him, "You look great. You look spry." But Strahan was unmoved. "I don't miss it," he said. Strahan spent much of the Giants' penultimate practice at Albany smiling and laughing on the sidelines, talking to various members of the staff, including former Giant Jessie Armstead, who is helping coach the linebackers in camp. When practice was over, he acknowledged the fans in the crowd with a wave, then jogged toward the locker room to catch up with his former fellow defensive linemen. Strahan, who is now a studio analyst for Fox, has been to several camps, including a stop at the Cowboys' practice facility in California two weeks ago. TYNES TO WORRY? Lawrence Tynes said he's "not extremely worried," but he is definitely concerned. Sitting and watching is a new experience for the Giants' kicker. And now he'll have to do it on Monday night, too. Tynes, whose overtime field goal in Green Bay booted the Giants into Super Bowl XLII, is temporarily sidelined with an injured left leg. He said he won't be able to kick in the Giants' preseason home opener against the Cleveland Browns, and that forced the defending champs to go out and sign kicker Josh Huston to take his place. Huston - who nearly beat Tynes in a training camp battle last summer - is likely no threat to Tynes' job, unless the injury to the incumbent becomes a long-term thing. And while the early prognosis on Tynes appears to be good, no one has ruled out an extended absence. "Well, I've never been hurt, so I'm taking it day by day," added Tynes, who is coming off his finest season of his career, making 23 of 27 field goals (85.2%) in the regular season. "I'm not extremely worried about it, but I am a little bit." Tynes suffered the injury on Saturday when he planted his left leg into the ground while attempting a kick. He somehow jammed his foot, which slipped out from under him thanks to the very wet grass, and he fell awkwardly, making what he called "a very unathletic move," and twisted his leg. He continued kicking that day, but the next morning, Tynes said, "I couldn't do anything." He said he went for an MRI and met with team doctors and they prescribed only rest and some treatment. He said surgery wasn't discussed, but ominously added, "You never know." SUPER BOWLING: Coughlin took his players on their now-annual bowling trip on Wednesday night. "Last year it caught pretty much everybody by surprise," said WR David Tyree, who rolled the high score. "This year it was like, 'It's bowling night.' It's something we could get used to." Lt. Col. Greg Gadson attended, too. ... The Giants claimed Brooklyn-born OL Cliff Louis (6-8, 315) off waivers from the Cleveland Browns. |
