In quotes because thunder and lightning (but no rain) drove the team into the UAlbany basketball arena midway through.
The on-field and off-field updates:
-- Plaxico Burress sat out with a sprained right ankle, suffered when he went up high to make a nice catch on Thursday evening. He's out at least a few days. And this is the other ankle, not the surgically repaired one.
-- Chase Blackburn (strained quad) sat out as well, and he won't be back until Monday at the earliest. Same for Kevin Dockery (concussion), but he was much improved and even made it up to the cafeteria for lunch. "Out of the dungeon," he said of his avoiding bright lights the past few days.
-- Brandon Jacobs and Reuben Droughns each had a couple nice runs in the brief team portion of outdoor practice. Lots of room to run for both, and Jacobs showed good acceleration.
-- Amani Toomer caught a deep sideline throw from Eli Manning, and those two are in sync -- Manning's ball was so wobbly and underthrown that Toomer smartly came back on it, leaving R.W. McQuarters hanging.
That's all. I do have to call out OT Jon Dunn for a false start... During the indoor jog-through. Yikes. TC didn't let that one slide. "Let's focus!" he yelled, but not too loudly. The echo inside made it loud enough.
Should be two intense practices tomorrow.
