The Thursday injury reports have been filed around the league, so we’ll pass along some of the names that caught our attention, including T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Kevin Walter and Pierre Thomas.

After adding three potential defensive starters over the weekend, the Giants reached agreement Wednesday on a one-year contract with free agent safety C.C. Brown.

One day after signing DT Rocky Bernard and LB Michael Boley, the Giants signed free-agent DE Chris Canty to a six-year, $42 million contract that includes $17.25 million in guaranteed money. Now Dallas’ loss is New York’s gain.

After his Friday trip to Washington was canceled, free agent defensive end Chris Canty revised his itinerary. He now is scheduled to visit the Giants (Sat./Sun) then Seahawks (Sun/Mon). The Packers, 49ers and Titans still want to schedule a visit but nothing has been scheduled yet.

There aren’t a ton of signings right off the bat as free agency begins, but here is a rundown of several players who have scheduled visits with teams that have expressed interest.

While the Washington Redskins await word from free-agent DT Albert Haynesworth, they forge on with other plans. The Redskins scheduled a Friday visit for free-agent DE Chris Canty. The four-year NFL veteran was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2005 and is regarded as the second-best free-agent defensive lineman.

Most of the free-agent discussion in Dallas centers around LB Ray Lewis and if the team will be able to get him. But the Cowboys have some of their own free agents to worry about.
