December 20, 2006 New York Giants Injury Report: DE Michael Strahan (foot – questionable) and CB Corey Webster (turf toe – questionable) returned to practice yesterday. “Michael did everything and I thought he did all right,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin after practice. “He did not look tentative or cautious. He moved up and down the line in nine-on-seven with no problem. Now, we’ll see how he feels (today).”
HB Brandon Jacobs (ankle questionable) was not expected to practice, but he did. “I’m playing put it in quotes,” said Jacobs. “This is nothing.”
Not practicing were OG/OC/TE Rich Seubert (shin – doubtful), OC Shaun O’Hara (ankle – questionable), and LT Luke Petitgout (leg/ankle – out).
If O’Hara and Seubert cannot play on Sunday against the Saints, Grey Ruegamer will likely start at center. Chris Snee and David Diehl can also play center.
Two More Practice Squad Moves: The Giants added HB Cedric Humes and OC Matt Tarullo to the Practice Squad. Humes was drafted in the 7th round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tarullo was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent after the 2005 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and spent the 2005 season on the Cowboys’ Practice Squad.
