Friday Injury Recap
By author
Yesterday’s practice report looked something like this:
TE Kevin Boss (back), WR Steve Smith (pectoral), OC Shaun O’Hara (foot), LT David Diehl (hamstring/hip), LT Shawn Andrews (back), and CB Corey Webster (toe).
At first it’s alarming that Shawn Andrews didn’t practice, with all the other injuries to the OL. But then Tom Coughlin came out and basically said while Andrews was limited, that doesn’t mean he won’t play.
Tom Coughlin’s full comments are here but I’ve posted some highlights below:
"Q: Is it a little draining to have all of these guys out?A: I think better today, I really do. I think better today. I think Wednesday, getting back on the practice field – and more that – trying to fight our way through last week and into the new week, but today was better.…Q: How concerned are you about playing the Eagles offense given the way they are playing?A: Is this your first day here? They have demonstrated great ability to score and move the ball and all of those kinds of things. It is always a concern. They are talented.…Q: Had Darius Reynaud been working with the wide receivers?A: Yes.Q: He looks good? Looks healthy?A: That is where he works most of the time. We spent one week – I think we had him as a running back – but most of the time he works with the receivers. He seems to have done well (with the hamstring). I don’t see any real setback there. He has taken a lot of snaps because of the scout team."
