October 28, 2011 New York Giants Injury Report: Not practicing yesterday were FB Henry Hynoski (neck), OT Stacy Andrews (back), and OC Adam Koets (PUP – knee/back). Hynoski is officially “doubtful” for the game on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Andrews is “questionable” and Koets will not play.
Andrews thinks he will play. “I think (Andrews) will work (Saturday) morning hopefully and then we will make a decision on that,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin.
DE Justin Tuck (neck/groin), DE Osi Umenyiora (knee), LB Michael Boley (knee), CB Prince Amukamara (foot), and HB Brandon Jacobs (knee) practiced on a limited basis. Amukamara has officially been ruled out of the game. Tuck is “questionable.” Umenyiora, Boley, and Jacobs are “probable.”
OG Chris Snee (concussion) practiced fully and is “probable” for the game.
WR Ramses Barden (PUP – ankle) also practiced. For Barden to play, he would have to be activated off of the PUP today.
“You have to get (Barden) some time on the field and he hasn’t been on the field in a long time,” said Coughlin. “It will be some time in order to get him ready to go and ready to compete on both special teams and offense.”
