EAST RUTHERFORD - Former Monmouth star Reggie White Jr. now has some company with the Giants.

Tight end Jake Powell, White's college teammate, signed with the Giants on Tuesday after being waived by the Saints over the weekend. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Powell grew up in Marlton, New Jersey, and is considered more of a blocker than a receiver, which sounds a lot like another Garden State product with the Giants, Scott Simonson.

White had a great preseason debut for the Giants with four catches for 60 yards against the Jets last Thursday night. It's possible both former Hawks are in uniform against the Bears on Friday night.

The Giants announced they waived wide receiver Amba Etta-Tawo, who ruptured his Achilles in practice Monday, and tight end Isaiah Searight, who has been dealing with a hip injury.
