Giants Jay Alford and Canty Out For The Season

[Monkeydad]

Giants DL Chris Canty (hamstring) was not on the Giants' pre-practice injury report.
Coach Tom Coughlin said Canty could be added to the official list later if need be. Considering he the $42 million man has practiced just once since Aug. 7, he'll probably end up on the report. But signs continue to point to Canty being on the field Sunday.

Canty not on early injury report

Defensive tackle Chris Canty has made it through one short practice - - not even in full pads - - since Aug. 7, but he did well enough that he wasn’t even on the pre-practice injury report this morning.

That’s good news, even though it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Canty’s name on the actual injury report when it’s released later today. The pre-practice report is an unofficial list given to the media as a courtesy prior to Coughlin’s morning press conference on Wednesdays.

Even Coughlin acknowledged that despite the absence of his name on the list, Canty’s injury is still a concern.

“We’re going to build this up as we go and see how he is,” Coughlin said. “I’ll put (his name) on there for you if it’ll make you feel better. But we’ve got to watch this, obviously. Anybody that’s done as little as he’s done in the preseason, you have to be very careful about that.”

The names that are on the injury list so far are C Adam Koets (ankle), CB Kevin Dockery (hamstring), CB Aaron Ross (hamstring) and LB Clint Sintim (groin). Ross and Dockery aren’t expected to practice today. Ross is “day to day” according to Coughlin, and the Giants are just “being very cautious” with Dockery. “He’s sore,” Coughlin said. “We’re just making sure it doesn’t get to be anymore than that.”
