Giants sign LB Ashlee Palmer and DB C.J. Conway, waive/injured two


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Injuries continue to force the Giants to tinker with their roster.

Safety Justin Currie (ankle) and linebacker Tony Johnson (knee) were waived/injured today. Both players were hurt in the Giants’ 22-12 preseason victory over Jacksonville on Saturday night.

Their roster spots were filled by veteran linebacker Ashlee Palmer of Ole Miss and rookie defensive back C.J. Conway of Montclair State.

Palmer, a 6-1, 238-pound seven-year veteran, has played in 94 regular-season games with 24 starts and in two postseason games with one start. He has missed only two games in his six seasons, the first and last games of his rookie year in 2009.
