Giants vs Cowboys II: Thursday Injury Report – All hands on deck for the GMEN
The New York Giants have released their official Thursday practice injury report:
Amazingly, for the first time that I can remember, nobody on the Giants is listed as missing practice today.

Hakeem Nicks, who had surprisingly missed practice yesterday with a “groin” injury, was limited today. His injury has also been re-designated as an abdomen issue. It doesn’t sound like Nicks’ injury is serious and his sitting out yesterday was more of a pre-caution by his agent:
Hakeem Nicks, free agent to be, also said he missed practice yesterday because his agent advised him to get his abdominal injury checked.

Nicks was also quoted as saying he will be playing Sunday:
Will Hakeem Nicks play on Sunday? "It's Dallas, man," he said ... Take that as a "Yes."

All of the other injured Giants’ players were limited in practice today, as well. This includes John Connor (hip), Brandon Jacobs (knee), Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder), Terrell Thomas (knee), Corey Webster (groin/ankle), and Trumaine McBride (hip).
Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys is a must win for the GMEN. Luckily, it sounds like they will have all hands on deck for their biggest game of the season.
