After two games, the Giants are remarkably healthy. Only two players appear on their injury report to start the work week: offensive lineman David Diehl (thumb) and tight end Adrien Robinson (foot). Every other player on the roster was on the field and participating in Wednesday’s practice as the Giants look to break into the win column this Sunday against the Panthers in Charlotte, N.C.
Receiver Hakeem Nicks dislocated the middle finger on his left hand in Sunday’s 41-23 loss to the Broncos, but he was able to return to the game and is not on the injury report. Nicks looked fine catching passes at the start of practice. Tight end Brandon Myers got banged up in that game and came away with his midsection heavily wrapped. He was on the field Wednesday and also avoided the injury report.
Unless something unforeseen happens this week, the Giants should have their full complement of players ready to face the Panthers.
“I hope it helps, I hope it pays off,’’ coach Tom Coughlin said. “This is what you’re after. You’d like to be able to have a full menu every week. Is that possible? Maybe not. Let’s not limit ourselves. This may be a week, God willing, where we practice and everyone stays on their feet, we don’t get into any trouble with that regard. Perhaps we’ll have some good choices to make at the end of the week.’’
