Final Training Camp Practice Today: The final training camp practice in Albany will be held this morning. Usually the last practice will be a very light jog-thru.
Injury Report – Jim Sorgi to Miss 2-3 Weeks: Not practicing yesterday were QB Eli Manning (head), QB Jim Sorgi (shoulder/ribs), WR Ramses Barden (back), OG Chris Snee (knee), OG Kevin Boothe (PUP – chest), LB Chase Blackburn (knee), and S Michael Johnson (back).
Sorgi’s agent told ESPNNewYork.com that the results of the MRI taken on Sorgi’s right shoulder indicate the quarterback will be out of action 2-3 weeks. The injury is apparently not related to the partially torn labrum he suffered with the Colts. The Daily News is reporting that the new injury is torn capsule and partial dislocation.
“He’s got some damage to his shoulder and we’ll see,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “I don’t know exactly how long it will be, I know that there is damage to the shoulder…He needs rest and he needs rehab, and how long it’s going to be I don’t know.
“I hope (Sorgi’s preseason is not over), but we’ll see,” said General Manager Jerry Reese. “We like him, but these injuries take time.”
When Coughlin was asked about Barden, he responded, “Might be a while.”
Coughlin also said S Michael Johnson is getting better, but will not play against the Steelers.
The good news is that Coughlin said S Kenny Phillips (knee) and LB Keith Bulluck (knee) will both play some against the Steelers.
Giants Waive TE Jake Ballard: To make room for QB Dominic Randolph, who was officially signed yesterday, the Giants waived undrafted rookie free agent TE Jake Ballard. Ballard missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury.
