Giants’ Rookie Mini-Camp Ends

Giants’ Rookie Mini-Camp Ends:  The Giants’ two-day rookie mini-camp ended yesterday.  Rookies and first-year players participated in two practices on Friday and two practices on Saturday.  The players will attend meetings this morning and then be sent home.  A video recap of the rookie mini-camp is available at Giants.com.  A good review of the mini-camp is also provided by InsideFootball.com.

Between practices, Head Coach Tom Coughlin, Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, Offensive Coordinator Kevin Gilbride, and some of the rookies answered questions from the press.  The following are media Q&A transcripts and/or videos provided by Giants.com:

Injury Report - Manningham and Woodson Hurt:  WR Mario Manningham (hip flexor) and QB Andre’ Woodson (strained left quad) both left morning practice early with injuries and neither practiced in the afternoon.  Neither injury is believed to be serious.

"It’s all a part of the game,” said Manningham.  "I just came out of my break wrong and tweaked my hip flexor a little bit.  I’ll be out of there in no time.  It’s nothing serious.  This isn’t going to set me back.  I’m still in the meeting room, writing so many notes."
