The New York Giants wrapped up a week of practice in East Rutherford on Saturday afternoon, and despite some players stepping up, the team will fall short against the Pittsburgh Steelers. monday night football.
The good news is that equally tough linebacker Brian Burns (groin/Achilles) is back on the field and coach Brian Daboll says he will play in Week 8.
Daboll also expressed optimism that right tackle Jermaine Elueminor will be fit for Monday night despite missing practice for the second straight day.

But that’s where the good news ended and the bad news began.
Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson will not play again this week and the Giants could be without his counterparts Tre Hawkins and Cor’Dale Flott.
