Jimmy Kennedy Reinstated

November 14, 2011 New York Giants Injury Report: LB Michael Boley (hamstring) and CB Aaron Ross (quad) were both injured in the game against the San Francisco 49ers.

“Boley – hamstring,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “It will end up being day-to-day. Ross has the left quad contusion. He would be day-to-day as well.”

Coughlin was also asked if HB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) might return this week. “We’ll see,” replied Coughlin. “There is no sense speculating. He’s going to have to go out and practice and he’s certainly had a couple of good, solid weeks of rest and hopefully he’ll be able to do some things. Probably won’t know until we get him out there.”

Jimmy Kennedy Reinstated: The Daily News is reporting that the NFL has reinstated DT Jimmy Kennedy following his four-week ban for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

The Giants now have a one-week roster exemption, during which Kennedy can practice and the Giants do not have to clear room on the 53-man roster. However, the Giants will have to make a roster move by next Monday, or Saturday if they want Kennedy to play against Philadelphia this Sunday.
