"Considering the Giants' misfortune all season, yesterday's mixed bag of an injury report qualified as good news.

Although Osi Umenyiora and Mark Herzlich were ruled out and Mario Manningham was deemed doubtful for tomorrow's showdown with the Packers, the Giants welcomed Ahmad Bradshaw back to practice for the first time in over a month and appear likely to have Bradshaw, Hakeem Nicks and Michael Boley in uniform.

Bradshaw has been sidelined since breaking a bone in his foot Oct. 30 against Miami, but practiced on a limited basis yesterday and is expected to play if he doesn't wake up with soreness today."
