Giants waive CB Sumrall after he fails physical

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Cornerback Brandon Sumrall was waived by the New York Giants on Wednesday after he failed his physical.

The Giants had announced earlier in the day that Sumrall had been awarded to the team after being waived by the Indianapolis Colts.

Sumrall spent a month on the Colts' practice squad last season before a foot injury ended his season in November. Indianapolis signed him in January and waived him Saturday.

Sumrall entered the NFL last year as a rookie free agent with the Minnesota Vikings, who waived him in August. He spent time on Tampa Bay's practice squad before signing with the Colts.

He was a three-time All-Conference USA pick at Southern Mississippi, finishing his career with 272 tackles and 12 interceptions.
