The Giants announced they will hold a retirement ceremony for Tuck at 2 p.m. Friday.

Tuck was a member of the Giants' 2007 and 2011 world championship teams and had two sacks in each of their two Super Bowl wins.

"After months of praying and careful consideration, I have decided to retire from the game of football," Tuck said on Facebook in February. "I've had 11 great years and, honestly, I leave with very few regrets."

Tuck was an All-Pro in 2008 when he had 12 sacks and was selected for the 2008 and 2010 Pro Bowls. He finishes his career with 66 1/2 sacks, 22 forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and three interceptions in 147 career games. Tuck missed the final 11 games this season with a torn pectoral muscle.
