Steve Smith

Osi, Plax, Ward sitting; Steve Smith dressed

That was the early practice lineup today. Steve Smith was in pads, catching passes -- still say he's not back until the 49ers game 10 days from now, but he's progressing.

 

Osi is listed as having knee issues, even though his back was sore after Sunday's win. Burress and Ward are still hobbling on bum ankles.

 

Oh, and Lawrence Tynes missed three straight FG tries -- from 30, 35 and 39 yards, all from the left hash, all pushed wide right. He made one from 39 but TC had called a last-second time out; he hit the next one too, though TC didn't look pleased.

 

Josh Huston is now on the Bengals practice squad, but that shouldn't be a deterrent if the Giants want to bring him back.
