New York Giants' running back Brandon Jacobs and defensive end Justin Tuck missed last week’s loss to Seattle, and their status for Sunday’s home game against Buffalo remains uncertain after both players did not practice Thursday.
Tuck has now been out two weeks with neck and groin injuries, while Jacobs has missed just the one game with a sprained MCL. Guard Chris Snee and Long snapper Zak DeOssie also sat out practice with concussions, along with cornerback Prince Amukamara (foot) and fullback Henry Hynoski (neck).
On the bright side for Big Blue, Osi Umenyiora made his return to practice Thursday, albeit in limited participation. The defensive end had missed Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury.
Center David Baas (neck) and linebacker Michael Boley (knee) also had limited participation in the practice.
Here is the complete injury report for both teams:
