Injury report: JPP still in doubt for opener

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The good news out of New York Giants practice Monday was the return of star wide receiver Victor Cruz from his heel injury. But while Cruz is starting to look like a good bet for Sunday night's regular-season opener in Dallas, the status of some other key Giants remains in doubt.

Pierre-PaulDefensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who had back surgery in June and didn't return to the practice field until last week, did some work in practice Monday as well. But neither he nor his coach are certain yet whether he'll be ready to go Sunday.

"He's got to practice," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "He's got to practice every day. He's got to put the uniform on. He's got to play in the pads. He's got to see how he feels the next day. His bursts were good today. Now, how many of them? I can't tell you that. But he did what I hoped he wouldn't do: There were no pads in practice, and he was coming in there like he had them on."

Don't wish him ill but it won't hurt my feelings if he sits.

I'm guessing he'll suit up but only play a limited amount of snaps. Obviously he won't be in top form. So on paper there is no one on their DL who should individually cause havoc.

Expect a shoot out.

My hunch is NY doesn't gamble on losing him for an extended periodic time for one game. If he hasn't been in pads then I doubt he plays in the first two weeks an if he does, his role will be limited.
