Giants healthy heading into Super Bowl XLVI

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.

Rob Gronkowski questionable, moves without limp
Friday, February 3, 2012, 5:01pm

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.

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw: "I feel great. I had no setbacks (at practice) yesterday." He said he's planning to practice again today.

Brandon Jacobs has hinted many times in the last few months that his days with the Giants are probably numbered. Now, the big running back is not so sure.

Jacobs reversed field on Wednesday and indicated he could see himself returning to New York for an eighth season with the Giants. He’s under contract through 2012, but he’d almost certainly have to agree to a new contract before he’s due a $500,000 roster bonus in March to avoid getting cut.

"This game I'm gonna be dressed and out on the field," Patriots RB Stevan Ridley said, "so hopefully I'll get some carries."

Ridley would likely help spell running backs BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead in the Super Bowl. He gives the Pats' running back corps a good combination of power and explosiveness and, if he can hold onto the ball with the opportunities he gets, he could help force the Giants' pass rush to respect New England's run game.

Giants TE Jake Ballard said he is still slightly bothered by the knee injury.

“It is still a little tweaked," Ballard said. "It feels a lot better than it has in a long time. I am running well and I am running a lot better than I have in the last three or four games.”

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks said the AC joint in his shoulder is feeling “a lot better this week.”

“I’m just trying to go out there and play and have a good week of practice,” Nicks said. “There should be no setbacks. It’s not sore or anything. The rest helped out a lot with just my shoulder and just my body in general.”

Per a league source, Giants WR Hakeem Nicks is expected to play. Though it’s unclear whether his range of motion will be limited, the source was optimistic that Nicks will be “fine.”

Patriots HC Bill Belichick said RT Sebastian Vollmer was close to playing in the AFC Championship against the Ravens, which would make one think he has a good chance of suiting up Sunday against the Giants. That would be a huge boost for the Patriots. Consider what Belichick said last Thursday: "If Sebastian is ready, he can help our football team. He’s a good football player. There’s no question he would absolutely be on the game day roster if he’s ready."
