The Giants have given players the weekend off, but coaches and personnel staffers are working.

Since they and the Cowboys are able to sign vested veterans now, a head start on the rest of the league, the Giants are holding a workout today.

According to Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger they’re bringing in veteran quarterbacks Josh McCown, Stephen McGee and Brian Hoyer for a look.

The Giants are among the teams that carry just two passers on their 53 (Eli Manning and David Carr), and don’t have a third on the practice squad.

Expect to see them looking at more defensive back and offensive line help as well, as some thin spots were exposed in Wednesday’s loss to the Cowboys.
