The Giants had better attendance at Thursday’s practice, but injured RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot/knee) was still absent.
The good news was that WR Hakeem Nicks (knee), DE Jason Pierre-Paul (back) and LB Michael Boley (back) were all active after sitting out of Wednesday’s practice. However, CB Prince Amukamara (hamstring), S Kenny Phillips (knee) and S Tyler Sash (hamstring) appeared to be inactive.
Nicks may have been limited, as he was seen doing several individual drills along the sideline.
As for Bradshaw, coach Tom Coughlin didn’t rule him out for Sunday’s game against the Falcons during his press conference on Wednesday, but he did say Bradshaw is dealing with a sprained left knee.
If Bradshaw cannot play on Sunday, expect rookie RB David Wilson to make his first start. Wilson set the franchise record for all-purpose yards (327) in last Sunday’s win over the Saints. He had 100 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries on offense.
Backups Kregg Lumpkin and Ryan Torain could also see time against the Falcons, although Torain has never been active for the Giants and Lumpkin has appeared in only two games.
