Bengals Injury Report:

Starting safety Reggie Nelson did not practice for a third straight day due to a hamstring injury that he suffered during the fourth quarter of last week’s loss to Denver and is listed as doubtful, though given Marvin Lewis‘ history of not playing players who don’t practice, he’s as good as out. Expect to see Nate Clements and Chris Crocker take over the starting safety spots.

Dre Kirkpatrick did not practice on Friday, and given he’s already missed so much time with injuries, don’t expect to see him play Sunday. If he does, it will be in nothing more than limited special teams snaps.

Starting center Jeff Faine was limited in practice with an injured hamstring. Rookie Trevor Robinson was a full participant during today’s session, and he will get a heavy amount of snaps on Sunday vs. the Giants vaunted defensive line.

Giants Injury Report:

Out
CB Michael Coe (Hamstring  – DNP)
S Kenny Phillips (Knee  – DNP)
LB Jacquian Williams (Knee  – DNP)

Questionable
RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Foot  – DNP)
LB Keith Rivers (Calf  – LP)
G Chris Snee (Ankle  – LP)

Probable
C David Baas (Ankle/Elbow  – FP)
LB Chase Blackburn (Hamstring  – FP)
RB Andre Brown (Shoulder  – FP)
DT Chris Canty (Groin  – FP)
WR Hakeem Nicks (Knee  – LP)
TE Bear Pascoe (Ankle  – FP)

The two biggest players to watch are starting RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) and starting center Chris Snee (ankle) who are listed as questionable to play. If Snee is out, that will give the Bengals a distinct advantage with DT Geno Atkins playing at an All-Pro level.

CB Michael Coe (hamstring), safety Kenny Phillips (knee) and linebacker Jacquian Williams (knee) have already been ruled out.

Bengals Injury Report:

Starting center Jeff Faine was limited in practice with an injured hamstring, the same injury that limited his backup, rookie Trevor Robinson during today’s session.

After missing much of the past six moths of football activities with a knee injury, first-round CB Dre Kirkpatrick is now suffering from a thigh injury.

WR Hakeem Nicks’ was limited with a swollen knee after missing Wednesday’s practice session.

OLB Keith Rivers was limited with a calf injury, the same injury that caused him to miss Sunday’s loss vs. the Steelers, and prompted Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin to say what Bengals fans felt all too often during his four years in Cincinnati:

I’d like to see him get on the field and stay there and I’m sure he would too.

Bengals Injury Report:

Starting center Jeff Faine missed practice with an injured hamstring, the same injury that limited his backup, rookie Trevor Robinson during today’s session. The Giants have the third-most sacks in the NFL, while the Bengals have allowed the eighth-most sacks. Hopefully one of the two can fully practice Thursday to help better prepare for an elite Giants defensive line.

Giants Injury Report:

WR Hakeem Nicks’ missed today with a swollen knee, and has suffered from this on and off throughout the year, so his status for Sunday is uncertain. The Giants have said they are going to rest starting safety Kenny Phillips through next week’s bye, meaning he won’t suit up against the Bengals Sunday.
