Hey guys. Filling in for Ralph. I didn’t see DL Chris Canty (calf) during the media portion out there. LB Antonio Pierce (back) was out there in shells so looks like he is going to be OK. RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) did his usual thing and sat out with the boot on for precautionary measures. DB Aaron Ross (hamstring) was also on the side with Bradshaw. OL Kareem McKenzie (groin) did some individuals....

The streak is alive. Maybe. Giants right tackle Kareem McKenzie, who was carted off the Superdome field on Sunday with an injured groin, will practice this afternoon, according to Giants coach Tom Coughlin, at least on a limited basis. “Kareem’s going to try to go,” the coach said. “If he gives us a few snaps that will be good.” It remains to be seen how his groin will...

Domenik Hixon is healthy and ready to return. And it looks like this week he may get a chance. It appears that Tom Coughlin is ready to make a switch and use Hixon as his primary kick and put returner - - a move which would send Sinorice Moss to the bench. Asked about that today, Coughlin said only “We’ll see.” But he also gave heavy praise to Hixon’s returner skills. “He’s...

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw went through practice today and came out fine, and he’s now listed as “probable” for Sunday’s game in Kansas City. Bradshaw injured his right ankle last Sunday in Tampa and had been wearing a protective boot on his foot. But he doesn’t need it anymore and says his ankle “feels great”. “I was able to do everything (at practice),”...

One of Jerry Reese’s first acts as GM of the Giants came in February of 2007 when he surprised many by cutting left tackle Luke Petitgout and replacing him with David Diehl. It was a controversial move at the time because Diehl was thought by some to be better suited to guard and it appeared that Reese was taking a big risk along the offensive line. That makes it even more remarkable that the...

Fed up with waiting for two of his top three cornerbacks to play this season, Tom Coughlin said “It’s time” for Aaron Ross and Kevin Dockery to get back on the practice field. “We’re going to try to get (them) going,” Coughlin said. “Hopefully they’ll be able to do some individuals to start with. We’re going to kind of spoon feed it back. But it’s...

The amazing continuity streak for the Giants’ offensive line appeared in jeopardy when two of the five starters were injured yesterday. But the injuries may not be as bad as they first appeared. Right tackle Kareem McKenzie suffered only a “sprained” right knee, according to the Giants, and guard Rich Seubert was removed from the game because of a “sore” shoulder. Both...

The cuts won’t become official until 6 p.m. today, and even then there’s still a lot of time for the Giants to tweak their roster before opening day on Sept. 13. But according to various NFL sources, and a couple of reports, below is what I believe is the 53-man roster the Giants will announce later this evening. I’ve also included the list of cuts I’ve been compiling all day...

This is one of those things that Tom Coughlin would almost certainly warn us not to read too much into. Nevertheless … Among the five people picked to be the captains for tonight’s game against the Jets were WR Derek Hagan and CB Terrell Thomas. As you know, Thomas has been battling Kevin Dockery for the nickelback job - - and possibly a starting job if Aaron Ross’ hamstring isn’t...
