No Practice Today

No practice today at camp, there are a few guys happy to hear that so they have a free day to get healthy.

Coach Tom Coughlin seems to be at the end of his rope with offensive lineman Shane Olivea who had a good start at camp but has been sidelined with a lingering back problem.

“I’m surprised it’s been this long,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said yesterday. “A day or two ago, he told me that he thought (Tuesday) would be the day, but I don’t know. It’s very frustrating. It is for the player, too. I mean he’s here for a reason and he had such great expectations. Unfortunately, the way it works in this game, he had his best practice and then that’s the last time I saw him.”

Mario Manningham is still bothered by a quad injury.

Yesterday Lawrence Tynes missed the morning session but showed up in the evening in running shoes. He didn’t kick and his left leg appeared to be wrapped tightly.
