September 28, 2011 New York Giants Injury Report – Stokley Injured in Practice: WR Brandon Stokley left practice early yesterday with an injury to his right leg. The team said the injury was to his quad. No official word on the severity of the injury yet, but The Wall Street Journal is reporting a source said the injury could cause Stokley to miss three weeks.

The following Giants did not practice yesterday: DE Justin Tuck (neck/groin), CB Prince Amukamara (foot), WR Ramses Barden (PUP – ankle), and OC Adam Koets (PUP – knee).

“(Tuck) won’t practice today but he has made more progress with both injuries so we are encouraged by that part,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin.

“(Amukamara) is a ways away,” said Coughlin.

WR Mario Manningham (concussion) and DE Osi Umenyiora (knee) practiced on a limited basis.

“I’m good,” Manningham said. “I went out there and practiced and did individual and team. I did everything and I feel better…I will be there on Sunday.”
