Injury Update – August 25, 2009 New York Giants Training Camp Reports: CB Aaron Ross (hamstring), who returned to practice on Monday re-injured his hamstring injury yesterday during the final practice in Albany. Ross had to be helped off of the field and was later carted off before practice ended.
“Hamstring,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “The poor kid cannot get beyond that. He starts working his way back and he obviously made a sudden move to try to catch back up to a receiver that was going by and…it’s very frustrating because he’s not had a lot of time on the field.”
When asked about the severity of the injury, Coughlin responded, “Not until they do all the tests…Over the course of his career he’s had mild strains from time to time but nothing like this.”
“It felt like someone shot me,” Ross said. “It was cramping in three different places…Hopefully, it won’t take more than 18 days (to recover). The first game is in 19 days.”
Not practicing yesterday were DT/DE Chris Canty (hamstring), DT Jay Alford (knee), LB Antonio Pierce (foot), LB Danny Clark (chin), LB Michael Boley (hip), and OL Orrin Thompson (quad).
Canty returned from his visit with the doctors in New York on Monday. “I know they did some other procedures to try to speed the healing,” said Coughlin.
S Kenny Phillips (knee) and CB Stoney Woodson (ankle) practiced. Boley did some light work on the sidelines.
