1/9/2006

Plaxico Burress, nyg

Burress, who led the Giants in receiving during the regular season, was one of the many disappointments in Sunday's Wild Card loss to the Carolina Panthers, as he finished the game without a catch. Quarterback Eli Manning, battling through problems of his own, sent just two passes Burress' way in the entire contest. New York failed to score, dropping the game, 23-0.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Despite being limited in practice last week, Shockey was in the Giants' starting lineup for Sunday's Wild Card matchup with the Carolina Panthers. The tight end, battling a high ankle sprain, led the team in receiving with 50 yards on three catches. New York lost the game, 23-0, so Shockey will have plenty of time this offseason to recover from his ailments.

1/8/2006

1/5/2006

William Joseph, nyg

After missing nearly two months with a dislocated elbow and high ankle sprain, Joseph returned to practice with the Giants this week. As long as no problems are reported over the next couple of days, the defensive tackle is expected to be available for Sunday's Wild Card matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

1/4/2006

Antonio Pierce, nyg

Unless he shows dramatic improvement over the next couple of days, Pierce will not be available for the Giants' playoff matchup with the Carolina Panthers this weekend. The linebacker, who has been sidelined since suffering a high ankle sprain nearly a month ago, continues to sport a protective cast on his foot.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

With his sprained left ankle heavily taped, Shockey was able to work out with the New York Giants on Wednesday, albeit on a limited basis. The tight end, who missed the team's regular-season finale against the Oakland Raiders last weekend, hopes to expand his involvement over the next couple of days and be available for Sunday's playoff matchup with the Carolina Panthers. He remains listed as questionable.

1/3/2006

Tiki Barber, nyg

Other than some minor soreness, Barber reported no serious problems with the ankle he tweaked late in Saturday's win over the Oakland Raiders. The running back, who finished the game with 203 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries and six catches for 60 yards, plans to take part in the majority of the Giants' practices this week. He will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's Wild Card matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

There is no guarantee that Shockey will be available for Sunday's playoff matchup with the Carolina Panthers, but based on the improvement he's shown over the past several days, head coach Tom Coughlin said the Giants are optimistic. The tight end missed last weekend's regular-season finale against the Oakland Raiders with a sprained left ankle.

Eli Manning, nyg

When he reported to the Giants' practice facilities on Monday, Manning said he did not seriously injure his right leg in Sunday's win over the Oakland Raiders.

12/30/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey will not play in Saturday's regular-season finale against the Oakland Raiders after not practicing with the Giants all week.

He had been listed as questionable on the injury report.

12/27/2005

Carlos Emmons, nyg

Emmons, who suffered a slight tear in his right pectoral muscle earlier this season, aggravated the problem last week and has been placed on injured reserve by the New York Giants.

Kevin Lewis, nyg

Lewis has signed with the New York Giants, filling the roster spot of rookie Chase Blackburn, who will miss the rest of the season with a neck injury. Despite starting all 16 games 2004, Lewis was cut by the team just prior to the start of the 2005 regular season.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey didn't see much playing time after spraining his left ankle in Saturday's loss to the Washington Redskins, finishing the game with just two catches for 18 yards. The Giants' tight end, who currently is considered as questionable for the team's regular-season finale against the Oakland Raiders this weekend, likely will be limited in practice over the next couple of days.

Derrick Ward, nyg

Ward will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign after being placed on injured reserve by the New York Giants on Tuesday. The running back, who is nursing a groin problem, will be replaced on the 53-man roster by former Patriot Michael Cloud.

Chase Blackburn, nyg

Blackburn has been placed on injured reserve by the New York Giants, bringing his 2005 campaign to an end. The rookie linebacker had to be carted off the field last weekend after suffering a sprained neck. He will be replaced on the roster by Kevin Lewis.

12/24/2005

Osi Umenyiora, nyg

The Giants on Friday reached agreement with Umenyiora on a six-year contract extension. The deal for defensive end, who received his first Pro Bowl selection this season, is worth just under $41 million and includes $15 million in guarantees. Umenyiora is second in the NFL with 12.5 sacks.

12/20/2005

Sean Berton, nyg

After tearing the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last weekend, Berton has been placed on injured reserve by the New York Giants. The tight end, who will miss the rest of the season, will be replaced on the active roster by Matt Kranchick.

Jamaar Taylor, nyg

Taylor, who has been banged up all season, has been placed on injured reserve by the New York Giants, officially ending his 2005 campaign. The receiver did not have a catch all year, seeing the majority of his playing time on special teams.

12/18/2005

Tiki Barber, nyg

Barber ran for a Giants' team record 220 yards on 29 carries in Saturday's victory over Kansas City. The running back also scored two touchdowns. The old record was 218 yards, set by Gene Roberts in 1950 against the Chicago Cardinals.

12/14/2005

William Joseph, nyg

After missing three games with a dislocated elbow, Joseph returned to the Giants' lineup for last weekend's win over the Philadelphia Eagles, only to leave the consest with a high ankle sprain. The team already has ruled out the defensive tackle for Saturday's meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs.

12/13/2005

Michael Cloud, nyg

For the second time this season, Cloud has been released by the New England Patriots. Added to supply the team with some depth in its banged-up backfield, the running back has appeared in six games this year, rushing for 59 yards on 23 carries.

Antonio Pierce, nyg

According to Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, it is highly unlikely that Pierce will be available for Saturday's matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs after being diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. The linebacker, who suffered the injury last weekend against the Eagles, will be listed as doubtful on this week's injury report.

12/12/2005

Tiki Barber, nyg

A week after posting a season-high 30 carries, Barber topped the mark in Sunday's overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles, rushing 32 times for 124 yards. The Giants' veteran running back, who also hauled in five passes for 71 yards and a touchdown, has recorded 100 total yards or more in each of his last eight games.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey posted double-digit catches and topped the century mark for the second time in three weeks, hauling in 10 passes for 107 yards in Sunday's overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. In a Week 12 loss to the Seahawks, the Giants' tight end finished with 10 receptions for 127 yards.

Eli Manning, nyg

Manning went 28 of 44 for 312 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, but was intercepted three times and sacked once.

Over his last two games, the former No. 1 overall pick has thrown five picks and just one TD, but the Giants have won both contests.

12/9/2005

LaVar Arrington, nyg

Arrington is unlikely to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after sitting out practice again on Friday with a bruised right thigh. The linebacker was injured during last week's win over the Rams and is officially listed as questionable for the Cardinals' game.

12/7/2005

Terrell Buckley, nyg

Buckley has signed with the New York Giants, filling the roster spot of fellow cornerback Will Peterson, who will miss the rest of the season with a nagging back problem. The 34-year-old veteran appeared in 16 games with the New York Jets in 2004, notching 10 tackles, three interceptions and a forced fumble, but he has not played this season.

Will Peterson, nyg

Sidelined since Week 3 after aggravating a back problem, Peterson has been placed on injured reserve by the New York Giants, ending his 2005 campaign. The cornerback was diagnosed with "hot spots" in his lower back, areas that could develop into stress fractures. He missed 11 games in 2003 with a stress fracture in the same general areas.

12/5/2005

Tiki Barber, nyg

Rushing a season-high 30 times, Barber notched his third consecutive 100-yard game, picking up 115 yards in Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants' running back now has topped the century mark five times this season, and his 102.8 yards rushing per game is a career high.

Eli Manning, nyg

Manning turned in his worst outing of the 2005 campaign, posting a season-worst 27.9 passer rating in Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants' quarterback completed just 12 of his 31 pass attempts for 152 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Going into the game, he had tossed five TD passes and been picked off just once in his previous two contests.

11/30/2005

Michael Cloud, nyg

11/29/2005

Will Demps, nyg

Demps will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Ravens will place the safety on injured reserve in the coming days.

11/28/2005

Tiki Barber, nyg

Barber topped the century mark on the ground for the fourth time this season, including two weeks straight, but his performance went to waste, as the Giants lost to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, 24-21. The veteran running back finished with 151 yards on a season-high 26 carries, and added five catches for 27 yards.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Nursing a chest injury, Shockey was limited to just one catch in last weekend's win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but he appeared back to full strength in Sunday's overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

11/21/2005

Jeff Feagles, nyg

Handling the Giants' punting duties in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Feagles has now appeared in 282 consecutive games, tying the NFL record set by former Vikings defensive lineman Jim Marshall. The 18-year veteran has the most career punts all-time as well (1,410).

Tiki Barber, nyg

Barber had to be helped off the field in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles after suffering an undisclosed foot injury in the fourth quarter. However, the ailment is considered minor, and the veteran running back was able to work out with the team on Monday. He should be fine for next weekend's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey was very sore following Sunday's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, due to the chest injury that limited his practice time last week. The tight end saw his normal reps in the game, but finished with just one catch -- a one-yard TD.

Eli Manning, nyg

Manning helped lead the New York Giants to a 27-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, tossing a pair of touchdown passes in the fourth quarter of the comeback victory. For the day, he posted a season-best 130.0 passer rating, going 17 of 26 for 218 yards, three TDs and no interceptions.

11/20/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

11/18/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

As he had hoped, Shockey was back at practice with the New York Giants on Thursday after missing the previous day's workout with an unspecified chest injury. The tight end continues to be listed as questionable on the team's injury report, but barring any last-minute setbacks, he plans to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

11/17/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

A chest injury kept Shockey off the practice field on Wednesday and has him listed as questionable on the Giants' injury report this week. Specifics about the ailment have not been released, but the tight end hopes to return to the team's workouts over the next couple of days and be ready for Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Reggie Torbor, nyg

Torbor will be sidelined for the next 2-4 weeks after undergoing a minor hernia surgery on Wednesday, according to Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. The linebacker has notched 34 tackles and one interception in nine games this season, including seven starts.

11/14/2005

Tiki Barber, nyg

Barber was the majority of the Giants' offense in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, as he led the team in both rushing and receiving. The veteran running back picked up 95 yards and scored a touchdown on 23 carries, while adding a season-high eight catches for 111 yards.

William Joseph, nyg

Joseph was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings after suffering a dislocated right elbow. According to Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, the starting defensive tackle likely will be sidelined for about a month, but he should be able to return this season. In nine games this year, Joseph has 19 tackles and two sacks.

Eli Manning, nyg

Manning looked a bit flustered in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, tossing a career-high four interceptions. The Giants' quarterback finished the contest 23 of 48 for 291 yards and a touchdown. Despite his struggles, Manning has a TD pass in 10 consecutive games, which is the longest active streak in the NFL.

11/7/2005

Brandon Jacobs, nyg

Despite missing some practice time with a bruised quadriceps muscle last week, Jacobs was dressed and available for duty in Sunday's meeting with the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' rookie running back made the most of his limited playing time, rushing for two touchdowns on five carries. He has three TDs in his last two contests.

11/4/2005

Michael Cloud, nyg

Cloud, who was released by the New York Giants just prior to the start of the 2005 campaign, has signed with the New England Patriots, supplying the team with some much-needed backfield depth. The running back had three rushing touchdowns in 10 games with the Giants last season.

Brandon Jacobs, nyg

A bruised quadriceps muscle prevented Jacobs from practicing with the New York Giants on Thursday and landed him on the team's injury report. The rookie running back, who officially is listed as questionable, should be able to return to the field on Friday, according to head coach Tom Coughlin.

10/31/2005

Tiki Barber, nyg

Barber could not be stopped in Sunday's win over the Washington Redskins, as he rushed for a career-high 206 yards on 24 carries. The Giants' veteran running back, whose previous best was a 203-yard outing against the Eagles in 2002, found the end zone on a four-yard run late in the third quarter.

10/30/2005

Plaxico Burress, nyg

The Giants have announced that Burress will start in Sunday's game against the Redskins. Burress, who was listed as questionable with a sprained right shoulder, will play despite not being 100 percent.

10/27/2005

Plaxico Burress, nyg

Tests on Burress' sprained right shoulder have revealed no major structural damage, and the Giants expect the receiver to be available for Sunday's meeting with the Washington Redskins. Burress was held out of practice on Wednesday as a precautionary measure, but he plans to return to the field over the next couple of days.

10/26/2005

Carlos Emmons, nyg

An MRI has revealed that Emmons has a slight tear in his right pectoral muscle, an injury suffered last weekend against the Denver Broncos. The linebacker was unable to practice with the Giants on Wednesday, and he's currently listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Washington Redskins.

10/24/2005

Plaxico Burress, nyg

As a precautionary measure, Burress was scheduled to undergo a few tests on Monday to rule out any major damage in his sprained right shoulder. The receiver, who suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, might be limited in practice over the next few days, but he should be in the starting lineup when the Giants take the field against the Washington Redskins next weekend.

10/23/2005

Plaxico Burress, nyg

Burress is expected to be in the Giants' Week 7 lineup against the Broncos. New York's top wideout had been questionable due to back spasms.

10/17/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Just days after inking a five-year contract extension, Shockey turned in his best game of the 2005 campaign, hauling in five passes for a season-high 129 yards and a touchdown. The Giants' tight end has 22 catches for 380 yards and three TDs through five games this season.

10/15/2005

David Diehl, nyg

Diehl has agreed to a five-year contract worth about $14 million with the New York Giants. The guard, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, will reportedly receive a $3.92 million signing bonus as part of this new deal.

10/13/2005

Will Peterson, nyg

According to Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, Peterson's back injury does not appear as serious as first thought, but the cornerback will be sidelined for at least 4-6 weeks. After consulting with several specialists, Peterson has been diagnosed with "hot spots" in his lower back, areas that could develop into stress fractures. He missed 11 games in 2003 with a stress fracture in his back.

10/12/2005

LaVar Arrington, nyg

Despite being healthy, Arrington has appeared in only two plays over the Redskins' last two contests combined. Head coach Joe Gibbs has not revealed exactly why the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker has fallen so far on the team's depth chart, except to say he's not doing enough to garner playing time. For the season, Arrington has just two tackles in three games.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey has re-signed with the New York Giants, agreeing to a five-year, $31.2 million contract extension, including a $3 million signing bonus. The tight end, who still had two years left on his old deal, becomes the highest-paid player at his position in the NFL, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus.

10/3/2005

Carlos Emmons, nyg

Emmons was unable to take the field against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, due to the sore left knee that warranted an MRI exam late last week. The Giants' linebacker had been listed as questionable going into the contest. He will be re-evaluated over the next couple of days to determine his status and availability for the team's next game.

Tiki Barber, nyg

With quarterback Eli Manning tossing four touchdown passes and wideout Plaxico Burress topping 200 yards receiving, Barber's solid outing in Sunday's win over the St. Louis Rams nearly went unnoticed. The Giants' veteran running back had his best game of the season, picking up 128 yards and scoring a touchdown on 24 carries. He also added two catches for 15 yards.

Plaxico Burress, nyg

Burress had an impressive day on Sunday with a career-high 10 receptions for 204 yards to go with a career-tying two touchdowns against the Rams. Aside from a 30-yard catch in the fourth quarter, all the production came in the first half against St. Louis.

Eli Manning, nyg

Manning continues to get more comfortable in the Giants' offensive attack. A week after throwing for 352 yards, the second-year quarterback was nearly unstoppable in Sunday's 44-24 victory over the St. Louis Rams, going 19 of 35 for 296 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Over his last three games, he hasn't thrown a pick and has been sacked just three times.

9/30/2005

Carlos Emmons, nyg

Emmons missed the Giants' practice on Thursday to undergo a precautionary MRI on his sore knee. The linebacker did not appear on the team's initial injury list this week, but he could be added if he's unable to take part in Friday's workout. For now, he is listed as day-to-day.

9/29/2005

Will Peterson, nyg

An MRI has revealed that Peterson has a non-displaced fracture of his lower back, and the Giants have listed him as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the St. Louis Rams. The cornerback plans to seek another opinion from a specialist, but admitted that the injury might force him to miss the rest of the 2005 campaign.

9/26/2005

Plaxico Burress, nyg

Burress was absent from the Giants' starting lineup in Sunday's meeting with the San Diego Chargers after showing up late to a team meeting earlier in the week. The receiver still saw plenty of action, finishing the contest with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey notched the fourth 100-yard receiving game of his NFL career and first in nearly two years, hauling in six passes for 101 yards in Sunday's loss to the San Diego Chargers. The Giants' tight end has improved his production each week this season. He had two catches in Week 1 and five last week.

Eli Manning, nyg

For the most part, Manning was able to tune out the verbal beating he was taking from Chargers fans in Sunday's meeting in San Diego, passing for a career-high 352 yards and two touchdowns in a 45-23 loss. The Giants' quarterback, who was a draft-day acquisition from the Chargers last year, completed 24 of his 41 pass attempts and did not throw an interception.

9/22/2005

Jay Feely, nyg

Feely did not practice with the Giants on Wednesday, due to the back injury he suffered while making a tackle in Monday night's victory over the New Orleans Saints. The kicker admitted that he's still a bit sore, but he doesn't expect the ailment to prevent him from being ready for Sunday's meeting with the San Diego Chargers. Officially, he has been listed as questionable.

9/20/2005

Tiki Barber, nyg

Barber notched his second and third touchdowns of the season in Monday night's win over the New Orleans Saints. The Giants' veteran running back finished the contest with 83 yards and a score on 22 carries, while also hauling in one pass for a six-yard TD. He had a career-high 15 touchdowns in 2004.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey was in the Giants' lineup for Monday night's meeting with the New Orleans Saints, as planned, and he did not appear limited by the sore ankle that forced him to miss some practice time last week. The tight end hauled in five passes for 64 yards in the game.

Brandon Jacobs, nyg

Through two games this season, it is obvious that the Giants are going to turn to Jacobs in most short-yardage and goal-line situations. The rookie running has 44 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries, with both of his scores coming from five yards or less.

9/19/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey plans to be in the Giants' starting lineup for Monday night's meeting with the New Orleans Saints despite being listed as questionable on the team's injury report. The tight end missed some time early last week with a sprained ankle, but has been working out with the team without any problems over the past few days.

9/17/2005

Michael Strahan, nyg

Strahan is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the New Orleans Saints after sitting out practice Saturday with back spasms. He was treated by a chiropractor after experiencing spasms on Friday night and Saturday morning, and was replaced at practice by rookie Justin Tuck.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey practiced with the team on Friday and reported no problems to Giants officials. The tight end should be able to play in Monday's game against the Saints.

9/16/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey has yet to practice with the New York Giants this week, but the team is hopeful that he will be back on the field for Friday's workouts. The tight end currently is listed as questionable on the injury report with a minor ankle sprain, but should be ready for Monday night's meeting with the New Orleans Saints.

9/12/2005

Jeff Feagles, nyg

With six punts in Sunday's season opener against the Arizona Cardinals, Feagles now has 1,370 in his career, passing Sean Landeta for most in NFL history. The 39-year-old has averaged 41.6 yards per punt over the course of his 18-year career.

Amani Toomer, nyg

With no receptions in Sunday's season opener against the Arizona Cardinals, Toomer saw his streak of consecutive games with a catch come to an end at 98. The last time the Giants' receiver failed to haul in a pass was December 6, 1998.

Plaxico Burress, nyg

In his first game with the Giants, Burress showed why he was acquired by New York. He caught five passes for 76 yards and one touchdown with a long of 44 yards. He is the top target at wide receiver for Eli Manning, so he should see plenty of passes thrown his way this season.

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey twisted his left ankle in the closing minutes of Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals, and with the game well in hand, he did not return to the lineup as a precautionary measure. The Giants might choose to limit the tight end early this week, but he is not expected to miss any game action because of the minor injury. He had two catches for 29 yards and a touchdown prior to his departure.

Tiki Barber, nyg

Barber has signed an extension with the New York Giants that will keep him under contract through the 2008 campaign. The 30-year-old running back rushed for a team-record 1,518 yards on 322 carries last season, scoring 13 touchdowns. In addition, he hauled in 52 passes for 578 yards and two TDs.

David Tyree, nyg

According to Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, Tyree should see plenty of looks this season after winning the No. 3 receiver job over Tim Carter and Jamaar Taylor. The third-year wideout had just 10 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown in 16 games in 2004.

Eli Manning, nyg

Manning reported being pain-free on Wednesday, one day after returning to practice with the New York Giants.

Officially, he has been listed as probable.

9/7/2005

Will Peterson, nyg

Peterson returned to practice with the New York Giants on Tuesday after missing more than two weeks with a slightly sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.

9/5/2005

Sean Berton, nyg

The New York Giants claimed Berton off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings over the weekend, giving the Giants a backup option at tight end. Berton caught nine passes for 78 yards in 14 games with the Vikings in 2004.

Eli Manning, nyg

Dr. James Andrews gave Manning a second opinion on the MRI of his ailing elbow and agreed with the original diagnosis of a mild sprain. The Giants' quarterback has been expanding his workouts over the past couple of days, and barring any setbacks, he plans to resume practicing at full speed next Monday. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft struggled in his first year in the league, going 95 of 197 for 1,043 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions.

8/29/2005

Eli Manning, nyg

Manning reported being pain-free after throwing during some individual drills at the Giants' practice on Sunday. According to head coach Tom Coughlin, the quarterback likely will be held out of Thursday's preseason finale against the New England Patriots, but should be ready for the start of the regular season.

8/24/2005

Michael Strahan, nyg

Strahan still hopes to play in Friday's preseason game against the New York Jets, but the Giants likely will hold him out as a precautionary measure. The defensive end has not worked out with the team since straining rib cartilage early on Tuesday. The injury is considered minor, and Strahan expects to be at full strength by the start of the regular season.

LaVar Arrington, nyg

Although his action likely will be limited, Arrington plans to make his preseason debut in Friday's exhibition battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The linebacker, who appeared in just four games last season, continues to recover from multiple surgeries to repair a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee, but appears to be getting close to full strength.

8/23/2005

Jamaar Taylor, nyg

Taylor has returned to practice with the New York Giants after being limited over the past three weeks with a nagging strained hip flexor. The second-year receiver hopes to see some action in Friday's exhibition meeting with the New York Jets.

8/22/2005

Will Peterson, nyg

Further tests on Peterson's left knee have revealed nothing more than a sprained medial collateral ligament, but the injury will prevent him from playing in Friday's exhibition game against the New York Jets. The Giants have listed the cornerback as week-to-week and are optimistic that he will be ready for the start of the regular season.

Eli Manning, nyg

After meeting with a specialist on Monday, Manning has been diagnosed with a sprained right elbow. The Giants' quarterback, who was hurt when he was hit by Julius Peppers in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers, also has a bruise inside the elbow, and he will be unavailable for Friday's exhibition game against the New York Jets. According to head coach Tom Coughlin, Manning is considered week-to-week.

8/21/2005

After the game, Manning did not seem too concerned about the injury and said he expects to be available for practice on Monday.

8/18/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey, who was limited for several days early in camp by a strained hamstring, was held out of Thursday's practice after reporting some tightness in his leg. According to Giants coach Tom Coughlin, the injury is minor, and the move was purely precautionary. Shockey should return to action within the next day or two.

Jamaar Taylor, nyg

Taylor continues to be hampered by a nagging strained hip flexor, an injury suffered during the first week of training camp. The receiver has been unable to work out with the Giants this week, and he's not expected to be available for Saturday's preseason matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

8/17/2005

Boo Williams, nyg

Williams could miss up to two weeks after straining his hamstring during the Saints' practice on Monday. The injury could cost the tight end a spot on the club's roster for the 2005 season. Currently, he is listed behind starter Ernie Conwell and backups Shad Meier and Zach Hilton on the Saints' depth chart.

8/16/2005

LaVar Arrington, nyg

After passing his physical, Arrington was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Monday and returned to practice with the Washington Redskins.

He is not expected to play in Friday's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

8/10/2005

LaVar Arrington, nyg

Arrington continues to recover from multiple surgeries to repair a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee, but the linebacker passed a conditioning test on Tuesday, and he could be cleared for workouts with the Redskins as early as next week. His knee problems limited him to just four games all of last season.

8/9/2005

Jeremy Shockey, nyg

Shockey has been limited over the past several days by a strained hamstring. Although the injury is not considered serious at this point, the Giants are not going to take any chances with the tight end, who battled through back, foot and hamstring problems last season. He is listed as day-to-day.

8/6/2005

Ponder was forced to leave Saturday's joint practice between the Giants and Jets early after suffering bruised ribs on a hit by Jets safety Kerry Rhodes. No word yet on the severity of the injury.

8/2/2005

Corey Webster, nyg

Webster has signed with the Giants and was expected to be in training camp on Tuesday. The second-round pick in this year's draft was the team's final unsigned player, as New York did not have a first-round selection in April. A two-time All-American at LSU, Webster racked up 16 interceptions in his four years with the Tigers, including seven picks in both 2002 and 2003.

8/1/2005

LaVar Arrington, nyg

Arrington still is unable to run at full speed as he continues to recover from multiple surgeries to repair a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee. Given that, the linebacker at the very least will miss the first part of training camp. The Redskins hope that he will heal in time for Arrington to get back in football shape for the opening of the regular season in September.

7/31/2005

Plaxico Burress, nyg

The injury that Burress suffered on Saturday morning was less serious than originally expected. Giants' trainers initially thought Burress suffered a hyperextended right knee, however, the wide receiver was back on the field for the afternoon practice session.

7/30/2005

Plaxico Burress, nyg

Plaxico Burress was taken off the field in his very first practice as a New York Giant Saturday morning with what was described as a hyperextended right knee. But the receiver, who signed a six-year, $25 million free agent deal with New York in March, was back on the field for the team's afternoon practice.

6/22/2005

LaVar Arrington, nyg

Arrington continues to recover from a pair of surgeries on his right knee, and he has begun a running program. But according the Washington Post, he still has a lot of work to do to be ready for the start of Redskins training camp at the end of July. The linebacker played just four games last season before torn cartilage and a bone bruise forced him to go under the knife in September. He had another procedure on the same knee in April to relieve lingering discomfort.

Chad Morton, nyg

The Patriots signed Morton to a one-year deal on Tuesday, less than three weeks after the kick-return specialist was released by the Redskins. The deal reportedly worth a base salary of $600,000 with another $600,000 possible in incentives. In five NFL seasons with three different teams (Saints, Jets, Redskins), Morton has returned three kickoffs for touchdowns and also logged one receiving score.

6/1/2005

Michael Strahan, nyg

Strahan, who was forced to undergo surgery in November after tearing his right pectoral muscle, has regained full range of motion and is lifting as much weight as he did before the injury.

5/23/2005

R.W. McQuarters, nyg

5/2/2005

Jim Miller, nyg

Miller will be sidelined for at least three months after recently undergoing hip surgery, putting his availability for the start of the 2005 regular season in question.

He spent the 2004 campaign with the New England Patriots, but failed to appear in a game.
