T-Rock's Take on the Giants

I just happened to be talking to another reporter at yesterday's practice and we were hypothesizing about how far this team will go this season. One of the things we noted that could derail things was injuries. So we started talking about the players the Giants could least afford to lose. The other reporter said "If Plaxico Burress were to get hurt tomorrow, the season would be over."

Well, guess who was on the sideline at today's practice having his legs worked on by trainers?

Yup. Plaxico Burress missed the early parts of practice today while be attended to in the area for injured players. There's obviously a chance he was just a little tight and needed some extra work before hopping up and sprinting onto the field once we left the bubble. We'll find out more later.

It was a strange day by the exercise bikes with players coming and going. Aaron Ross started the session over there but was soon on the field. Jerome McDougle was there early too, but it looked like he wasn't going to go today. And Sammy Knight was there at the end.

The one guy who wasn't over there was Brandon Jacobs. he was taking some reps in the team drills. We'll wait for the report to see if he practiced fully or on a limited basis. I doubt that Coughlin will give us any insight into whether or not he'll be ready on Sunday, but you never know.
