Gerris Wilkinson who is expected to be a major force in the LB corps. dislocated his right kneecap. He's expected out of action for about a month.

As far as the first pre-season game this weekend against Carolina, Coughlin told the media Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress probably won't play. Fred Robbins and Jeremy Shockey may play and Justin Tuck will play for a few snaps.

And Arthur Staple points out that David Diehl will be getting the majority of snaps (at left tackle) with the first team offense. Not Guy Whimper who has been anything but impressive.
