NEW YORK -- The New York Giants have traded for Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels.

The Giants also acquired running back and kick returner Darius Reynaud for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick and a conditional 2012 draft choice. The Vikings announced the deal on their website. Rosenfels and Reynaud have to pass their physicals with the Giants for the trade to be finalized.

The Giants have been searching for a backup for Eli Manning since Jim Sorgi suffered a torn capsule in his right shoulder in the preseason opener against the Jets.

The 6-foot-4 Rosenfels, a 10-year veteran, has passed for 4,156 yards, 30 touchdowns and 29 interceptions in 32 career games. He will likely be the second-string quarterback ahead of Rhett Bomar.

Bomar had been Manning's backup and has shown flashes of potential, but the second-year quarterback hasn't taken a regular-season snap yet.
