This is the early word from Mike Garafolo from The Ledger...

Pre-practice injury report - NJ.com: Ledger on the Giants

*WR Plaxico Burress (ankle). This one bears watching. Remember, he appeared to tweak the ankle against the Cowboys, so we'll see how much he practices this week.

*CB Sam Madison (abdominal). Stomach, abdomen, liver, whatever. They keep changing the classification of this injury. But it's a rib-cage muscle and that's a painful injury. Still, he made some progress last week, so we'll see if he can get closer to the field today.

*RT Kareem McKenzie (ankle). This is a biggie. He was noticeably slowed by this injury on Sunday and the week before against the Buccaneers when he was first injured. On Sunday, he'll be facing Packers Pro Bowl DE Aaron Kampman. Expect McKenzie to get a lot of help like he did in the second half against Dallas.

*CB Aaron Ross (shoulder). I told you yesterday he's going to play. But again, we'll see how long he lasts.

*CB Kevin Dockery (hip flexor). Again, he was on crutches last week, so I wouldn't expect a whole lot from him this week.

Hopefully McKenzie will be able to play or else the Giants offense may not be so hot.

The Giants secondary will probably be put together by a thread once again. The Packers have more weapons than the Cowboys, can the Giants contain them all?
