July 26, 2006 New York Giants Injury Update: At yesterday’s pre-camp press conference, Head Coach Tom Coughlin made the following statement when asked if any players will be limited or restricted when the practices start on Friday: “There’ll be some, there will be a few at the beginning. I think we may have to restrict those guys who are coming off of some knee surgeries you know who they are as well as I do. There may be, (OG/OT) Lewis Kelly had the sprained foot right at the end of our spring work, so he’s going to be limited. I think (WR Tim) Carter, (TE) Vinsanthe (Shiancoe), may have some tendonitis that we may have to be concerned about right away. (LB) LaVar Arrington has some tendonitis and an Achilles, so we may have to make sure he’s ready to go twice. Hopefully that’s it.”
