Pre—Practice Notes
-
- November
- 28
Looks like Brandon Jacobs is a longshot to play this week, but he’s moving along. Tom Coughlin has the running back scheduled to take individual drills today, but my guess is he’ll go real easy for the week and not play on Sunday in Chicago.
Backup RB Derrick Ward does seem to have a shot, though. He’s scheduled for a full practice. Don’t be surprised if that nasty groin and ankle flare up again at some point this week. For now, assume Reuben Droughns and Ahmad Bradshaw will again be the rushing duo against the Bears.
Even more cloudy are the respective statuses of MLB Antonio Pierce and CB Aaron Ross. Pierce’s ankle sprain and Ross’ hamstring strain kept both out of practice.
Just an interesting note here. The Giants were wrong when they thought they escaped playing against running back Adrian Peterson. They’ll see him this week now that Cedric Benson is on the IR. No, not that Peterson, the Vikings’ rookie sensation. This Peterson is the Bears backup, who has 52 carries for 189 yards and two touchdowns this year. Not quite the numbers his namesake has put up, huh?
Back with you guys later.
Ciao for now.
