The countdown to kickoff is officially on. There's of course the season opener tomorrow night from Lambeau Field between the Packers and Saints, followed by a full slate of games Sunday and Monday. For Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants, Week 1 is an important early-season road test against a divisional foe, the Washington Redskins. Coming off a disastrous first year under Mike Shanahan, the Redskins have looked much improved so far this preseason. When Rex Grossman is your starting quarterback however, you can't feel too confident just yet that Washington will be able to hang with the Giants, Cowboys and Eagles in the highly competitive NFC East.
The offseason brought a rash of injuries to Coughlin's squad, particularly in the defensive backfield. One can only hope that the bad luck injury-wise is out of the way early on and the Giants can settle into a regular rotation defensively without further personnel losses.
To continue our week-long coverage leading up to Sunday's game, let's take a look at the Wednesday injury reports filed by both the Giants and the Redskins.
