Who are those guys?

August
20

I don’t know whether they were hearing footsteps, but Amani Toomer and Steve Smith were close to full speed this afternoon on the practice field outside Giants Stadium.

Mario Manningham was back in motion, too.

And suddenly, the Giants had depth at wide receiver. All three should get a chance to play on Saturday against the Jets, which gives Eli Manning one less worry. There is still enough time left before the season opener to get into a rhythm with at least two of the primary targets.

“Everybody needs to work, you need to work with the quarterback, you need to be on the field, you need to establish some consistency, some reliability, and that is what we need,” Tom Coughlin said.

So what about Plaxico Burress?

“He did run a little bit faster in the individual stuff,” Coughlin said with a well-timed smile.

I hope Burress isn’t afraid of needles.

Here’s the list of bumps and bruises:

DE Justin Tuck (foot), LB Mathias Kiwanuka (groin), LB Jonathan Goff (back), WR Brandon London (shoulder), QB Anthony Wright (back) and K Lawrence Tynes (knee).

RB Kay-Jay Harris (foot) was put on injured reserve and the Giants signed S Miguel Scott.

    So when should we start getting worried about the kicking situation?
