The Giants are the healthiest they’ve been all season at the most opportune time. Six players are listed on the injury report for Sunday’s Super Bowl and all are down as probable.

Besides RB Ahmad Bradshaw, who had practiced in consecutive days for the first time since returning from injury on Wednesday and Thursday, all players practiced today. S Tyler Sash (foot) and DE Osi Umenyiora (ankle/knee) were limited.

According to the pool report, Tom Coughlin said Bradshaw was held out of practice because his injured right foot “was a little sore.”

“But he’s OK,” Coughlin said. “He’ll be ready. He got in two good days of work prior to this. He’s prepared.”
Hakeem Nicks (shoulder), Corey Webster (hamstring) and Jacquian Williams (foot) all practiced fully for the second day in the row after being limited on Wednesday.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski participated in Friday's hour-long walk-through to cap the Patriots' week of indoor practices leading up to Super Bowl XLVI.

Gronkowski took the field for the second straight day after practicing on a limited basis Thursday for the first time since spraining his left ankle Jan. 22 in the AFC Championship Game. He is listed as questionable on New England's injury report for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants. Gronkowski moved without a limp when the Patriots executed their offensive plays.

The Patriots listed 10 other players as questionable, including safety Patrick Chung (knee), left guard Logan Mankins (knee), linebacker Brandon Spikes (knee) and wide receiver Wes Welker (knee). All 11 players were listed as taking part in a limited portion of Friday's session, in which players never moved faster than a trot while executing plays.
