Givens expected to be released next week

I believe he also injured his hand in the beginning.

 

I seem to remember he had a hand/wrist injury and a hamstring injury.

He was just getting over them when he blew his knee out.

 

I believe that the players get a small bonus (relatively speaking) for a Super Bowl appearance and I would guess than many of them (especially the good ones) have escalator clauses associated with it.
