Tuck, Nicks listed as questionable

At the beginning of the week, Justin Tuck said he had a "50-50" chance to play against the Rams Monday night. Although he later dismissed those odds as something he just threw out there, Tom Coughlin officially concurred Saturday with that initial assessment.
The Giants listed Tuck (neck) and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks (knee) as questionable on their final injury report of the week, meaning there is a 50-percent chance they will not play.
Realistically, though, their chances seem to be much better than that. Both practiced again Saturday -- although they were limited -- and have said they expect to be available for the game.
Jackson not ruled out yet
Rams running back Steve Jackson (quad) will be a game-time decision after he was listed as questionable. Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola (dislocated elbow) is doubtful but quarterback Sam Bradford (finger), lineman Jason Smith (ankle) and cornerback Bradley Fletcher (toe) are all probables for the Rams. The only player the Rams have ruled out is defensive end C.J. Ah You (wrist).
Giant steps
Members of the Giants' 1986 Super Bowl team will sign autographs for fans prior to Monday night's game from 7-8 p.m. Several members from the team will also participate in a fan Q&A session. All fans in line will receive a commemorative 25th anniversary autograph card . . . The Giants' last scheduled Monday night home game was Sept. 15, 2003 against the Cowboys, although they did play at Giants Stadium against the Saints in 2005 in a game moved because of Hurricane Katrina. The Giants were considered the visiting team for that game. The Giants have had only one home Monday night victory since 1991 . . . The Giants ruled out three of their players: CB Prince Amukamara (foot) and DE Osi Umenyiora (knee) are both recovering from surgery and TE Travis Beckum (hamstring) did not practice all week and will not play . . . The Giants re-signed DE Justin Trattou to their practice squad and cut QB Ryan Perrilloux from that list.
