December 8, 2011 New York Giant Injury Report: Aside from the 13 players on Injured Reserve, the following Giants did not practice yesterday: HB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), HB Brandon Jacobs (hamstring), OC David Baas (neck/intense headaches), DE Osi Umenyiora (ankle), LB Michael Boley (hamstring), LB Mark Herzlich (ankle), LB Spencer Paysinger (hamstring), and S Kenny Phillips (knee).

“(Bradshaw and Jacobs) didn’t work,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “Tomorrow is their scheduled day to work. Both of them…I hope (Boley too).”

“No (update on Baas),” said Coughlin. “He was doing some tests today.”

WR Mario Manningham (knee), DE Dave Tollefson (knee), and CB Prince Amukamara (back) practiced on a limited basis.

“(Manningham) has practiced for two days,” said Coughlin. “He looks good. He looks sharp. He looks quick. Hopefully there is no issue the next day. That is what you worry about. The swelling.”

“Unless you’re bleeding to death or something’s sticking out of your skin, get your ass back in there,” Tollefson said. “It’s ‘Go Time’. So I’m fine.”
