Getting Healthy (sort of)
Original post 2pm
Just for Halloween, surprise surprise, DT Chris Canty was in pads practicing at defensive tackle with the second unit. Another surprise was LB Mich
ael Boley, who was also in pads for the media portion of practice. To what extent they practiced and how ready they will be for Sunday is not yet known, but great news that the two were in full pads. Generally the next day’s reaction is the main concern for a player coming back from a long term injury. If Canty’s calf and Boley ‘s knee react well tomorrow, at the very least there would be a great chance they would play the following week, and an outside chance at this week. The Giants want to ease both players back in slowly so it’s most likely the 2 will be held out of Sunday’s game. Aaron Ross was not practicing,
And here is the “sort of” portion of the injury update. RB Ahmad Bradshaw flew to South Carolina yesterday to meet with noted orthopedist Robert Anderson. Bradshaw, who was on the bikes at practice, says he has a crack in his fifth metatarsal, but will try an play through the injury. If the bone breaks all the way Bradshaw will require surgery, but if not the Giants and Bradshaw have been given the OK to play through and have the surgery in the offseason. Dr. Anderson agreed with the Giants plan of resting during the week and playing on Sunday’s. Every Giant fan cross your fingers and pray that his 5th metatarsal stays cracked and does not break, get the man some Dr. Scholls dammit.
Update 6pm
Both Chris Canty and Michael Boley were limited in practice, but it’s still a step in the right direction for the two. Most likely they will have a shot at playing next week against the Chargers.
