The caveat to that IR rule is that the player has to be on the 53 man roster by the time rosters are due tomorrow, and they then can't be put on temporary IR until Tuesday.

So for the Giants, Shaun Rogers would be a perfect candidate...but it would mean risking losing an extra DT to waivers. Terrell Thomas or Marvin Austin make more sense as they were likely to be on the 53 man roster even without the rule in place.
