Injury Report – Seven Miss Practice: HB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), WR Hakeem Nicks (shoulder), OC David Baas (abdomen/neck), LB Chase Blackburn (calf), LB Jacquian Williams (foot), CB Corey Webster (hamstring), and CB Will Blackmon (knee) missed practice yesterday.
“We are trying to be smart and not aggravate something that is there that will be able to be managed in a short amount of time and make sure that there is not anything else that happens,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin of the players held out of practice.
“I’m not (worried about it),” said Nicks. “This is what you play for, whether it’s hurting or not, I’m gonna go regardless. Right now I’m taking these little bit of days that we got to get it back better. Not any big deal. Early this season, I landed on it again in the game, it’s a little sore, just working on my range of motion right now.”
“I got my neck issue and it should be fine,” Baas said. “I massage, ice, all the normal stuff. But (I) should be back out there tomorrow doing stuff.”
DE Osi Umenyiora (ankle/knee) practiced on a limited basis.
S Tyler Sash (concussion) fully practiced.
