Source: Ravens taking another look at Tyree

Former New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree is working out for the Baltimore Ravens today, according to a league source.

Tyree tried out for the Ravens earlier this year after being cut by the Giants, but wasn't completely healthy at the time. He passed his physical without incident.

He's also slated to work out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday.

Tyree, 29, emerged as a Super Bowl hero when he caught a pivotal pass by trapping the football against his helmet with safety Rodney Harrison covering him tightly during the Giants' game-clinching drive to defeat the New England Patriots two seasons ago.

Tyree was cut by the Giants during their final major roster cutdown after being sidelined for their final two preseason games. Since being cut, he has also drawn interest from the Kansas City Chiefs and the St. Louis Rams.

Listed at 6-foot, 206 pounds, Tyree has caught 54 career passes for 650 yards and four touchdowns while excelling in kick coverage and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2005.

In 2006, he caught a career-high 19 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns.

The former Syracuse player dealt with numerous injuries, including knee, hamstring and groin problems during training camp.

He spent last year on injured reserve due to a knee injury after beginning the season on the physically unable to perform list.

Three years ago, he signed a five-year, $6.5 million contract.

Tyree drew interest from the Ravens as a restricted free agent years ago, and he has remained on their radar
