Maybe its only the case of the Yuletide spirit, but one day after an shocking 13 players appeared upon the Giants damage report, usually 5 players werent means to work today.

CB Corey Webster (knee), CB Aaron Ross (hamstring), RT Kareem McKenzie (knee), LG Rich Seubert (knee), as well as RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) were the usually ones upon the sideline when use began this morning. Bradshaw, of course, rarely practices before Friday as well as Seubert pronounced yesterday he was feeling most better.

As for Webster, Ross as well as McKenzie, their status for Sundays must-win diversion against Carolina is unclear. Well know some-more when we see if they use tomorrow (or some-more accurately, when the Giants send out an damage inform tomorrow since there is mercifully no media access upon Yuletide Day).

As for the other 8 who had injuries listed upon Wednesday, all of them have been participating in use at slightest upon the singular basis. That includes WR Hakeem Nicks (hamstring), LB Michael Boley (triceps), QB Eli Manning (foot), LB Jonathan Goff (hamstring/ribs), LB Chase Blackburn (ribs), CB Kevin Dockery (ankle), S C.C. Brown (hamstring) as well as K Lawrence Tynes (right hamstring).

Actually, during the half hour which use was open to the media we did not see Tynes kick. So its possible which hes sitting out use too, even though he wasnt over in the rehab area. Well know for certain when Tom Coughlin addresses the media after today.

Update: Nick was singular in practice, but hes doing fine, according to Coughlin. Tynes did flog as well as lift his usual full load during practice. Websters knee isnt mending as quick as expected, Coughlin said. McKenzie is making progress even though he didnt practice. Seubert also didnt practice, but Coughlin expects him to gut it out this week.

If you didnt see it in todays Daily News (and really, you should get in the robe of reading my a! ctual Da ily News stories, even if its online), the agent for Giants WR Steve Smith has sensitive the Giants which their No. 1 receiver wants the stipulate extension as well as which they devise to pull the emanate after the season.

Smith, of course, is carrying an implausible deteriorate as well as possibly will end up carrying the biggest statistical deteriorate by the Giants receiver, ever. And he probably deserves the big contract, especially if he keeps personification like this.

There have been difficult issues, though. Hes usually 24 as well as finishing up his third NFL season, as well as its regularly risky to give big income to someone so young. Plus, hes not the giveaway agent yet. Hes sealed by 2010 (hell earn $550,000 in income subsequent year). And if theres no new CBA sealed by Mar then hell usually be the restricted giveaway agent in 2011. His unlimited giveaway group could be pushed back all the way to 2013.

So its not as if hes oozing leverage. Still, when we talked with his agent, Ralph Cindrich, yesterday we got the sense this was very preliminary. Theres nothing quarrelsome about the situation. But if the Giants have been meddlesome in locking up the immature player who loves personification in New York as well as only proved he has star potential, theyre some-more than peaceful to strike the long-term deal.
