Although no official decisions have been made, Tom Coughlin all but ruled Osi Umenyiora out for Sunday's game against the Packers. Ahmad Bradshaw and Michael Boley, however, both said they are likely to play.

Bradshaw, who has missed the last four games with a cracked bone in his foot, said he does not want to practice this week and is saving himself up for Sunday. Asked if he has a shot to play in that game, Bradshaw said he has "a big shot."

"I feel good," he said. "I'm planning on playing."

Boley has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. Last week he spoke about not wanting to rush back but Wednesday he said he was "hopeful" about playing. He did some running and drills with trainers on the side and stretched with the team during practice.

As for Umenyiora, it seems not even Coughlin's optimism will get him on the field against the Packers.

"I can say [that he is] day-to-day all I want, but chances are he'll not make this one," Coughlin said.

A source familiar with Umenyiora's injury said that the defensive end is likely to miss the next two games and possibly more.
