He hasn't started running yet.
“It’s not necessarily a tight feeling, it’s just sometimes when I load it, I just feel pain,’’ said Amukamara. “The trainers explained to me that pain isn’t good and they just told me the whole 1, 2, 3 of the injury. I’ve just been trying not to put a lot of pressure on it lately.’’
"I don’t know, I don’t know (about Amukamara)," said Coughlin. "I’m not sure about that guy. He’s trying though; he’s trying like heck."
Thinking that he might be the answer to the woeful play of the defensive back field is a bit disconcerting
Speaking of injuries, I wonder how we made out last night? The Giants always seem to keep their injuries under raps for a long time.
He had surgery on his foot last year in camp and they rushed him back from that.
High ankle sprains can linger all year.
He played well for us in the playoffs last year, so he should only improve this year.
I feel bad for the guy.. he's had some really shitty injury luck to start out his young career. I know he can play, he just needs to get back on the field and stay there.
We can go without him for Tampa and Carolina.
Does it mean 'Im not up to date on his med condition' or does it mean 'I dont know if he has what it takes to play in the NFL?'

Does it make any difference that it's a mild high ankle sprain? Could it be less than 6 weeks because that it's a mild? Or did you already take that into consideration when you said 6 weeks?
Thanks.
Sounded like progress to me if I could only find where I saw it.
I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, and while I was there I went on wikipedia :)

reason why he dropped in the draft .
I think we expected much more than we got so far .
Now if he does not progress or heal quickly it's
a Big hit to the defense . I like Coe but we went from
having four or five very good corners to one in
a damn hurry .
This is what it is. No one has phenomenal 4th and 5th corners. The pressure is on Fewell to put a good game plan together (perhaps play some press coverage) so we don't fall victim to the 3 step drop quick 3 second release. It is that simple. It is not the players in this case, it is the scheme. The Cowboys gave us the exact blueprint of what we need to defend against. The players will be fine.
I would actually be a ton more worried if our defensive line is getting zero pressure, they were doing a five step drop and our CBs couldn't stay on their receivers. Then I would be panicked but that is not the case.
We simply have to hold tight until these guys get back.
Yeah Parcells got agitated about people who wouldn't play with injuries. Jumbo played with a fractured non-weight bearing bone in his leg. In other words, a broken leg. Carl wore the Mike Curtis sledgehammer cast. LT got shot up into the stratosphere for the Saints game. Those were different times. Everything that this league has done the last few seasons was meant to enhance at least the appearance of primary concern for the players' health. That's a good thing. But the flipside to that emphasis is ragged, uneven disjointed play. The Cowboys looked slightly less terrible than the Giants Wed night. Their quarterback was excellent. An RB made a memorable run. Otherwise their offensive line and secondary took advantage of the way the game was being called (or wasn't being called)while the Giants played as if the most literally-strict-to-the-rulebook veteran officiating crew was doing their game. Prince, it is said, is true royalty back home. And he has that regal attitude all about him that gives evidence to that fact.
all the time and hasn't been 100% yet,,
slow healer...whatever, you can't count
on him for half the games and he isn't
playing great when he is. Right now he is
a good backup, so w/ TT gone we need another
vet or gifted rookie now...I like Holsey and
Coe but they are banged up..
