November 28, 2007 New York Giants Injury Report – Plaxico’s Knee is Now Bothering Him, Ross Might Not Play: Not practicing yesterday were WR Plaxico Burress (knee/ankle), LB Antonio Pierce (ankle), and CB Aaron Ross (hamstring). The new injury issue with Burress is his knee, but there are no details. The Giants say he is “day-to-day”.
Ross said his hamstring has been bothering him for several weeks. “Right now, I really don’t know (about playing Sunday),” said Ross. “It was something that’s been lingering for a while. It was just getting tight. I really couldn’t move too well so I couldn’t come out of my breaks how I’m used to doing.”
HB Derrick Ward (groin/ankle) practiced fully. “It was good to get back out there,” Ward said. “It’s been a long time coming. This has been frustrating for me, to go from playing to not playing for four weeks. I’m anxious to get back out there and help our team win.”
HB Brandon Jacobs (hamstring) and WR Steve Smith (hamstring/scapula) were limited, participating in individual drills.
“I’m not quite there yet,” Jacobs said. “I didn’t do as much as I would have liked.”

Quotes: RG Chris Snee on QB Eli Manning: “I’m out there. I see Eli. He wasn’t rattled…He’s had a lot of pressure and he’s taken a lot of hits. But he’s a tough guy. He got up every time. He’s the same Eli Manning that I’ve known.”
