First of all, Eli Manning went through practice with a new helmet that had his chinstrap snaps higher up so it would be harder for them to become unfastened with a big hit. He also had some extra padding over the gash, and proceeded through practice with no problem.
Not so with Aaron Ross. His swollen heel will be in a cast for 10 days, according to Tom Coughlin, which means he's out for the rest of the preseason. Whether his limited action in the first two games was enough to get him ready for the season remains to be seen. For now, the Giants just need to worry about getting him back ASAP. But at least tests revealed that there is no ligament tear.
DT Chris Canty had an MRI on his sore groin, but Coughlin said there was "nothing of great significance." And cornerback Terrell Thomas is suffering from a sore calf.

You can put me on that list. I am suffering a migraine from all these Giants injuries! The only cure of which will be season sweeps of the Cowgirls, Uglies, and that other NFC East team. Would love some revenge on those Panthers and excited for the Manning Bowl II (or I hope preview of this years SB). The season cannot come soon enough! AHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteErnie, seriously, though, any updates on Dodge's progress, your thoughts on the starting LBs for week 1, and how the CB situation will shape out with Ross ailing?
Canty's a DE again? Are we running the 3-4 now? hehe
ReplyDeleteNot crazy about Bruce Johnson at nickel, but I hope he's up for the challenge. There's no doubt we won't be getting a full season out of Ross.
Oops. Screwed up again. Canty's a DT. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteMe too, CE718. These injuries make me want to throw my hands up, but hopefully they're just preseason ones. We need a healthy team (stating the obvious)
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1 - 10, I wonder how upset Coughlin is with all of these setbacks.
Can we go ahead and cut Beckum. I hate reading about all the creative ways Gilbride is NOT going to use him. This team is filled with players who remain on the squad and yet bring nothing to the table; Moss, Beckum, Whimper, Michael Johnson, are the top of the list
ReplyDeleteBeckum is the only hope the Giants have to have an elite TE. Everybody needs to lighten up on him
ReplyDeleteTo be an elite TE, you have to be able to block. Until Beckum shows he can, he is just a 5th WR.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, I'm fine with his inability to block, just show me SOMETHING worth believing in.
ReplyDeleteI'm just Wondering here...like Neil Young looking for his crazy horse, but what is it with Aaron Ross?
ReplyDeleteIs he suffering from the "over workout syndrome"...aka Sean Bennetts disease? anyone remember RB Sean Bennett? worked out so hard he could not stay on the field to play due to pulled muscles he got from working out, then running!
Some runner's (Ross is a track star) pull ham's and string's more often than a pork butcher in a smokehouse.
Good point....and thumbs up on the Neil Young reference.
