• Tom Coughlin said S Kenny Phillips’ surgery was “very positive” and that “the doctors felt good about it.”

• DE Justin Tuck practiced and CB Kevin Dockery “did well” according to Coughlin. WR Hakeem Nicks “did pretty much everything. There was no limitation on him” according to Coughlin. The head coach also said LB Clint Sintim practiced and did a good job and is doing “more each time.”

• CB Aaron Ross (hamstring) said he knew during individuals on Wednesday that something was still wrong and stopped practicing. He is frustrated and he thought he might have had a chance to play this week or was at least hopeful of it. Looks like he is going to rest it some more.

• RB Ahmad Bradshaw sounds like he is definitely going to play Sunday and said he is just resting his ankle for now. OC Kevin Gilbride said he’d be shocked if Bradshaw doesn’t play.

• RB Brandon Jacobs would not answer any questions about FOX analysts hinting that he’s tip-toeing when running. It’s a good bet you will see a motivated Jacobs on Sunday against Kansas City, which had trouble containing Philadelphia rookie RB LeSean McCoy last week.
