Tuck still sidelined; Bradshaw and o-line back to practice

The Giants are almost “all in.”

In their final practice before their most important game of the year, just about every player was on the field preparing for the Ravens. The lone exception was defensive captain Justin Tuck, who is dealing with a shoulder injury. He was on the sideline working on what looked to be his left shoulder and riding the stationary bicycle.

Tom Coughlin had expressed hope yesterday that Tuck would practice and said earlier this week that Tuck should be able to play through the injury. So far, he has not.

As for the rest of the injured players who took the field, Ahmad Bradshaw was taking snaps for the first time since spraining his knee against the Saints on Dec. 9. He said earlier this week that he would play and it sure looks like he’s close to that goal.

The offensive line also came back together after two days of practicing with 40 percent backups. Chris Snee (hip) and David Baas (shoulder/hip) were both on the field. Everyone else who was on the injury report and at least limited yesterday – Prince Amukamara, Kenny Phillips, Hakeem Nicks, Rueben Randle, Tyler Sash and Chris Canty – was participating.

One injury to monitor: Adrian Tracy looked like he rolled his ankle in practice and was having it taped on the side. If Tuck can’t play on Sunday, Tracy would probably be the next defensive end to play.
