Tuck coy about toe injury, is questionable

Justin Tuck, trying to overcome a toe injury, was in uniform Friday and took part in stretching exercises with the team. He did not fully take part in practice, though, and is listed as questionable for Sunday.
"He did OK. He did a few things and he did OK. I don't think there was any setback," Tom Coughlin said of his defensive end.
That was more than Tuck said. His self-expression in the locker room later was limited to the inscription on his T-shirt: "My pain, Your Entertainment." He answered almost every question from reporters by saying, "Huh?"
Tuck was reminded that he had said Thursday he would have a better idea about his availability for Sunday after the Friday practice. He responded: "In that whole statement, not one time did I say I would tell you. I'm the king of loopholes."
Running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), linebacker Spencer Paysinger (hamstring) and safety Kenny Phillips (knee) are listed as probable.
Cruz fined
Victor Cruz was fined $7,500 by the NFL for a block on Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman, a hit that the league said represented unnecessary roughness.
