Giants staying healthy entering divisional round

No news is good news for the Giants.
For the third straight day, LB Zak DeOssie (back) and DE Justin Tuck (lower leg, knee) were the only players listed on New York’s injury report Friday, and both are probable for Sunday’s NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles. DeOssie and Tuck were limited in practice Friday, as they were Thursday.
DeOssie is a backup, but Tuck is a big part of the Giants’ defense. Tuck had a team-leading 12 sacks this season, so if he isn’t able to play Sunday for some reason, Eagles QB Donovan McNabb might be able to breathe a little better. However, it appears Tuck will be good to go.
