The New York Giants have released its roster for Wednesday night's preseason finale against the New England Patriots, and as expected defensive ends Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul and linebacker Mathia Kiwanuka will not play, reports Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger. The only surprise was that cornerback Bruce Johnson is also out.

Also announced, wide receiver Hakeem Nicks will play, but that was expected as he's trying to recover from a injured foot. Earlier in the week, the 6'1, 208-pound wide out said he felt 100-percent for the contest.
