Giants signed LB Aaron Curry, formerly of the Raiders.
Curry, 27, has made 39 career starts primarily as a strong-side linebacker in Seattle and Oakland. He appeared in only two games last year due to chronic knee soreness. Ostensibly healthy, Curry will fight for snaps at SAM 'backer with Keith Rivers and/or Mark Herzlich. The Giants' linebacker depth chart is wide open, so Curry has found a good spot to potentially resurrect his career. May 10 - 4:11 PM

Raiders waived LB Aaron Curry.

Curry missed most of the offseason, all of camp, and the first eight games with knee soreness. Activated from the PUP list, he played just 15 snaps versus the Ravens and three against the Saints last week. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2009 draft may have to prove that his knee is at full strength before landing another job.

Raiders activated LB Aaron Curry (knee) off PUP.

Curry was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2009 draft, but he won't have a major impact for the Raiders. They're solid on the weak side with rookie Miles Burris impressing in a big way. Curry will be depth and can help on special teams. LB Vic So'oto was waived in a corresponding move.

The Raiders have not ruled out the possibility of activating LB Aaron Curry (PUP, knee) for Week 9 against the Buccaneers.

Coach Dennis Allen sounded optimistic about activating Curry earlier in the week, but took a step back on Friday. "I’ll make that decision, probably, whenever I need to, whenever I feel it’s the right thing for our football team, and we’ve still got time to do that," Allen said. "I’m not going to make that decision before I have to." The Raiders have to decide by Wednesday whether to activate Curry, waive him or place him on season-ending Injured Reserve.

Raiders WLB Aaron Curry (knee) resumed practicing Wednesday for the first time since landing on the PUP list in September.

The Raiders expect WLB Aaron Curry (knee) to begin practice next week when he is first eligible to come off the PUP list.

The Raiders will get to take a look at the state of Curry's knees in practice for three weeks before deciding whether to activate him. If healthy, the former No. 4 overall pick would at least push Miles Burris for snaps on the weak side.

Coach Dennis Allen indicated Sunday that the Raiders are losing patience with WLB Aaron Curry's troublesome knees.

"We're fastly approaching that day where he's either going to be out here ready to go or he's not," said Allen. "Because it's not a game where you just show up and play." Curry recently visited a doctor in Los Angeles for a second opinion on his ailing knees. He showed up at camp Sunday and still couldn't practice. Curry opened camp on the PUP list and could stay there into the season.
