What happen with Jacquian Williams?

Dude can't get healthy. Hasn't played since the SF game. Really sucks, because he's our best coverage LB. Hope he can come back after the bye. If he comes back and KP does, I think we'll see our pass defense tighten up a little.

Can we have one good chunk of the year where nobody gets hurt n misses games. truely killed" on defense. always hanging in there...Giants really can matcup with anyone when fully healthy. what a shame! only if we had T2...as well.

Keith Rivers in a car accident during bye. Having knee evaluated. How do you spell NFI?

Eli Manning looked "sharp" throwing the ball today after week off, Coughlin said. #nyg

Phillips is "trying to get back with it," Coughlin said. They'll see how much he + Williams do Weds. #nyg

Bradshaw confirmed he did have neck X-Rays after hit by Maualuga, b/c he had similar symptoms as in Week 2. He said they came up clean. #nyg

Phillips plans to practice wrd and play vs green bay

He said he'd play 3 weeks ago and never did.....really need him back.

Ebenezer Samuel‏@ebenezersamuel

Eli Manning said he definitely felt his arm had "a little bit more pop" today.

Damn I liked Douglas too, do we get any kind of compensation?

[NYGTom]

I don't get how Rivers is so damn injury prone both on and off the field. It's like injuries are just running around looking for him

No, not that I know of. Here's the rules with PS players.

"Now, one important thing to keep in mind is that players on the practice squad are always free agents, which means they're eligible to be signed away by other teams at any time. There are a couple of caveats to this, however.

First off, a team can't sign a player from the practice squad of a team they're playing the next week. So, if the Vikings see a player on the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad that they like, they can't sign him during the week prior to their Week 2 match-up. They could, however, sign him any time after that game.

Also, if a team signs a player off of another team's practice squad, that player takes up a roster spot for his new team for at least three weeks, bye weeks included. Even if the team chooses to release that player after one week of having him on the roster, he still counts against their 53-man roster for three weeks. This also means that you can't sign a player away from one team's practice squad simply to put them onto your practice squad. If you sign a player off of a practice squad, they must go onto your 53-man roster.

Also, if a player is promoted internally to the practice squad, they must stay there for three weeks, and be compensated at the minimum salary for their status. If they get let go before those three weeks are up, they still get paid for those three weeks."

He's soft

Obviously the car accident is a freak thing.

Well, here's to hoping Eli comes back to form this week.

Yay for old cars: Keith Rivers was driving a 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser when he crashed: "Rollcage saved my life. That's what officer told me"

Keith Rivers: "Just on a downhill. New tires, new breaks. Just skidded out a little bit and rolled my car."

Thats a pretty cool car. Probably totaled. Sad to hear.

Andre Brown broke his fibula. Season-ender and big loss for Giants.

No word on Phillips yet. Guarantee they sign Addai after working him out during the bye week.
