Plax and Ward have their usual ankle woes, though Ward's is worse than it's been, and James Butler has more of an ankle issue than a hamstring issue. Michael Johnson may get the call in London.
No other news today, other than Antonio Pierce's desire to see "those guys who don't move at Buckingham Palace."

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... but who's your pick this week?
"Yeah, yeah, yeah ... but who's your pick this week?"
Arthur will not be predicting a score this week, just an over/under as to the number of pints he will consume during the trip.
BTW, I assume this means Brandon Jacobs was OK and practicing, despite the MRI on his ankle a couple of days ago, right? If Ward is hurting, we definately want Jacobs to be 100%.
ARTHUR!!,
Can you please ask Tom that if Michael Johnson plays well does he get more playing time..?
Tom and the Giants seem very high on this kids talent. Tom and Reese have praised him all year and they consider him a steal of a draft pick.
If it was a veteran i wouldnt ask you to ask Tom that. But its James Butler we are talking about. So it seems fair to ask Tom if he sees Michael staying in the lineup if he plays well. Johnson as Tom said is fast and has great size and his range is incredible.
If you watched the game when Michael was in Spags put him at FS and Gibril at SS and you saw Wilson play close to the line making plays. When Butler plays Gibril has to play FS and play more coverage. and I bet you Spags like Gibril better at SS.
Is Bradshaw practicing yet
Looks like Ward is not getting any healthier, Jacobs has is issues (did he get an MRI). Would love to see Bradshaw in the mix and see what the kid can do, 3rd down back, kick returns whatever.
Arthur....we've got to know more about Johnson...is this injury severe enough to possibly, possibly keep him out long enough for Johnson to prove he is a better option?
Although we haven't seen much of Johnson, he is always near the ball and has good speed and pop on his tackles. That right there, is a huuuuge improvement over Butler. When R.W. and Webster failed to produce...they became acquainted with the bench. Any shot Butler has the same in store?
And i'm still waiting for my damn Ballet article.
