Injury Update – Ahmad Bradshaw Injures Other Ankle: HB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle/ankle/foot) and MLB Antonio Pierce (neck) did not practice yesterday.
Bradshaw has been battling injuries to his right ankle (sprain) and foot (fracture) most of the season. Yesterday, he was wearing a boot on his left ankle as it was revealed that he sprained his left ankle against the Falcons on Sunday. He was also using crutches yesterday.
“It is a sprained ankle,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “He is walking around with a boot on the other foot…Right after the game, we thought he had an ankle sprain. But evidentially it is more severe than that.”
When asked if Bradshaw would make the trip to Denver, Coughlin responded, “We’ll see. We’ll see how it is.”
QB Eli Manning (foot) practiced fully.
Practice Squad Moves: The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed CB Michael Coe off of the Giants’ Practice Squad to their 53-man roster.
To replace Coe, the Giants signed S Anthony Scirrotto to the Practice Squad.
Because of these moves, we have updated the Transactions, Roster, and Roster Analysis (includes scouting report) sections of the website.
