    The banged up New York Giants’ defense has another injury to worry about, and this involves two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck. The Giants defensive captain didn’t practice Thursday because of a sore neck, and he indicated he would not play in the season opener against the Redskins in Washington unless it improved. Tuck, who was limited in practice on Wednesday, suffered a stinger in a preseason game against the New York Jets on Aug. 29. While the injury feels better, Tuck refused to guarantee that he would be available Sunday, noting that he was concerned, but not panicked.

    Good for him. So many athletes play through injuries but a neck injury is nothing to take likely.

    Good idea neck injuries are one thing you don't heck with if it was anything else I'd say load yourself with pain killers and play thats what they do anyway.

    Yea good point. Who cares if he makes it worse and can't walk in the future? Peyton Manning is a cat too.:icon_rolleyes:
