Good News, Bad News

The good news is that RB Derrick Ward and LB Antonio Pierce continued to practice today. Ward, who has practiced fully the last two days, was out there running plays again, while Pierce at least lined up with the first team defense during non—contact drills. Looks like both will play against the Bears.
The bad news is that Aaron Ross remained on the sidelines for a third straight day with a hamstring strain. He probably won’t make it, which means Kevin Dockery will start at left corner. And, of course, Plaxico Burress remained on the sidelines with a knee problem to go along with his sprained ankle.
More bad news. They’re expecting rain and snow in Chicago tomorrow night, and that could leave Soldier Field a mess. That could impact just how much, or even if, they play Burress. And with Ward coming back from a groin injury, the staff may be careful in how much they use him. A sloppy field, the likes of which Monday Night viewers saw in Pittsburgh this week, could favor the Bears.
I’ll be back with more after we talk with Tom Coughlin.
Ciao for now.

Well, a sloppy field might also limit Devin Hester’s ability to make big plays on returns. We shall see.
we should not even be thinking about kicking it to hester
