New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw missed Friday's practice, his second this week with a foot injury he sustained several weeks ago. In fact the lone participation that Bradshaw took part in this week was limited work on Thursday.
However this has largely been his routine since the Week Six injury against the San Francisco 49ers. Bradshaw is currently listed as questionable.
Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick spent the first half of the season rehabilitating his knee, finally making his NFL debut against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Though he didn't take part in any defensive snaps, he participated during 10 special teams plays, generating a tackle and an offsides penalty following BenJarvus Green-Ellis' fourth quarter touchdown (Nugent kicked it for a touchback after the penalty anyway).
Kirkpatrick showed on the team's injury report on Thursday with a thigh, limiting him during practice. Also linebacker Dan Skuta was another Thursday arrival.
Yeah I'll play," said Nicks. "[Resting until after the bye] was never a thought, at least not on my behalf." After a little early-week "puffiness," the swelling in Nicks' knee has subsided. The receiver has been told by the medical staff that he's running better every week. Of his disappointing fantasy production of late, Nicks replied, "Stats are for girls."
New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury that he suffered three weeks ago.
Since his injury Bradshaw has generated a BenJarvus Green-Ellis-like 3.5 yard/rush average and slowly lost several goalline opportunities to backup Andre Brown.
Bradshaw returned in limited capacity on Thursday, preparing for the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday.
For the second time in as many days, Bengals starting safety Reggie Nelson sat during practice with a bum hamstring that he suffered against the Denver Broncos.
If Nelson is unable to go against the New York Giants this weekend, fifth-round rookie George Iloka is listed as the backup free safety.
However it would be more logical to conclude a combination of Chris Crocker, Nate Clements and Taylor Mays in the defensive backfield at the safety spots.
