December 22, 2010 New York Giants Injury Report

December 22, 2010 New York Giants Injury Report: LT David Diehl (illness) and DE Dave Tollefson (knee) did not practice yesterday.

“Dave’s going to be out for a while with the MCL (injury),” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “I don’t know (if we’ll put him on Injured Reserve). We’re going to try to see where we are in a few days.”

“I was on the StairMaster today, so that’s got to be good, right?” Tollefson said. “I think it’d be a little easier if we had won last week to kind of say, ‘Man, I’ve got a little more time to get better.’ But we’re behind the eight ball now. So as soon as I can run, I’m going to go. I don’t know when that’s going to be. Hopefully I can start running next week. The main concern is with the MCL injury and that I don’t injure another ligament in my knee. Can you play with an injured MCL? Yeah, but it leaves other ligaments susceptible to injury. So we’re kind of making sure that doesn’t happen.”

WR Mario Manningham (heel) and DE Osi Umenyiora (knee) practiced on a limited basis.

“(Manningham) seems to be sore,” said Coughlin. “We’ll see how far he can go.”

OC Shaun O’Hara (foot), OL Shawn Andrews (back), and WR Devin Thomas (hamstring) all practiced fully.
