Giants DE Justin Tuck wasn’t too pleased about injuring his left shoulder after being tripped by Cowboys OT Flozell Adams.
“It was bush league,” Tuck told The Associated Press after the Giants’ 33-31 victory at Cowboys Stadium. “He did it a few times, and they (the officials) only called one.”
Adams received a penalty on the third-quarter play, and Tuck went to the dressing room for X-rays. He returned to the Giants’ sideline wearing an arm sling and later said he would be OK.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin didn’t have an update on WR Domenik Hixon, who left the game with a knee sprain after making a 13-yard catch in the first quarter and didn’t return.
The Cowboys played the final few minutes without LB DeMarcus Ware and RB Marion Barber because of injuries. No update on the players’ status was given.
