GIANTS' TUCK STILL BOTHERED BY TOE INJURY (http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/giantsblog/giants_tuck_still_bothered_by_toe_ycohCgJDQ5JIYRMr GRmYGK)
Excerpt: "At the start of practice on Thursday, there was no sign of Justin Tuck.
After about 15 minutes, the Giants defensive end emerged, walking slowly, as
if he was in no rush to step up onto the stationary bicycle he was headed for.
If someone could look dejected as he walked, it was Tuck, who resembled someone
who just learned his trusted dog had eaten his beloved cat and, lo and behold,
inside the cat’s belly was what remained of Tuck’s favorite pet bird.</p>
Clearly, the new toe injury that Tuck suffered in last week’s 37-34 victory
over the Cowboys is bothering him quite a bit. He hasn’t practiced yet this week
and he has one more day to get on the field and convince coach Tom Coughlin that
he’s ready for Sunday’s game against the Redskins. On Wednesday Coughlin said he
believes Tuck will be able to manage the discomfort and play in the game but
that optimism might be unfounded, based on Tuck’s body language.</p>
Tuck has endured a miserable, injury-filled season, starting with a neck
problem back in the summer. He’s also been slowed with injuries to his groin,
ankle and now his toe. It’s likely he’ll be listed as no better than
questionable to play this weekend." Read more...
