Osi Umenyiora Expected to Practice Thursday

Giants HC Tom Coughlin said that he expects to have DE Osi Umenyiora ready for the team’s 1st full-speed practice of the week on Thursday. That would put Umenyiora on track to return for Sunday’s visit to Philadelphia. We’ll probably at least have to wait until the end of the practice week to get a sense of how much playing time the team anticipates. Expect caution, though, with Umenyiora a month removed from his last team workout.  We’ll have to see how he and breakthrough player Jason Pierre-Paul share the RDE spot beyond that.
