December 5, 2011 New York Giants Injury Report: OT Stacy Andrews’ season is over. Andrews was hospitalized before the game against the Packers with blood clots in both of his lungs. “It is a very, very serious medical condition,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin.”

S Kenny Phillips is having tests done on his sprained left knee, the same knee he had microfracture surgery on two years ago. “He is over (at Hospital for Special Surgery) most of the day and I am not sure yet,” said Coughlin. Media reports say that Phillips sprained his MCL and will miss 1-2 weeks. “It’s definitely going to affect us,” said S Antrel Rolle. “(Phillips is) a huge asset to our defense and he plays a major role in our defense.”

OC David Baas missed the game with headaches. “He is going to spend a great deal of today with various medical people in trying to decide (how much of a concern it is),” said Coughlin.

DE Dave Tollefson injured his right knee in the game. “I really don’t know anything about that either,” said Coughlin. “He’s a tough guy and if there’s any way, he’ll go. I don’t have the actual report on (him). They called it a contusion with swelling.”

CB Prince Amukamara rolled his left ankle and was experiencing soreness in his broken right foot (the one he had surgery on during training camp). He said he expects to be able to practice this week.

WR Hakeem Nicks tweaked his right ankle in the game, but does not expect to miss any time.

LB Spencer Paysinger strained a hamstring. No word on his his status yet.

HB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) and LB Michael Boley (hamstring) both made it through the game. “Both are sore,” said Coughlin. “To be expected.”

DE Osi Umenyiora (ankle) did not play against the Packers and may miss the next game against the Cowboys. “It will end up being kind of a day-to-day thing on how he feels,” said Coughlin. “The original prognosis would be no (he would not practice this week), but we’ll see.”

LB Mark Herzlich (ankle) is still wearing a protective boot, but says he is making progress.
