Osi, Tuck say they're ready for Sunday

Justin Tuck said he was coming back. Now Osi Umenyiora is planning on joining him.

For the first time this season, the Giants will have all three of their talented defensive ends healthy and on the field in Arizona on Sunday. Though Umenyiora and Tuck are officially listed as questionable, both say they are ready to get out there and join Jason Pierre-Paul.

"It's been a while," Umenyiora said. "We do have to wait to see what the doctors say, but I feel like I can. It's exciting."

Umenyiora, a two-time Pro Bowl player, admits he is coming back with a chip on his shoulder. He had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in August, and the game will be his first this season. He also is coming off a difficult offseason in which he feuded with Giants general manager Jerry Reese about a new contract and reported to training camp a day late.

Umenyiora told reporters Friday after practice that he feels "disrespected," though he refused to tie it in directly to his contract status.

"I feel like I'm constantly disrespected and I always feel like I have to prove myself," he said. "It's just a feeling in general."

Umenyiora said he will not use his contract status as motivation this year. He said his motivation comes from within.

"I guess it's the way I was raised," he said. "I never feel like I'm as good as I should be . . . We all like to get what we're worth, but when you're actually playing, you can't feel like I'm playing for this money. I have the offseason to think about that, but not right now."

Tuck, who has missed the last two games with neck and groin issues, told reporters Friday that his status is a "Yep."

Notes & quotes:Defensive end Chris Canty said his hit on the Eagles' Michael Vick that bruised the quarterback's non-throwing hand was a legal one, and the NFL has agreed with him. Canty, who was not flagged on the play, was not fined by the league. In fact, despite Vick's complaints about late hits and getting no protection from the officials, no Giants were fined for hitting the quarterback . . . Long snapper Zak DeOssie (sore back) was listed as questionable and did not practice for the second straight day. Giants coach Tom Coughlin expects him to play . . . WR Brandon Stokley, who suffered a quadriceps injury in practice Wednesday, rode the stationary bike Friday but will not play this weekend . . . Rookie cornerback Prince Amukamara (broken left foot) did drills on the sideline Friday but is not expected to play.
