GIANTS FALL TO DALLAS, 31-20. For about three quarters, the much anticipated Giants- Dallas game came as advertised, a shootout between two teams which are among the elite in the NFC. However when the dust settled, the Giants ended up shooting themselves in the foot in an all-too-familiar theme, starting off the second half of their season with a critical 31-20 loss to the NFC East leading Cowboys.

PRE-PRACTICE INJURY REPORT/COACH COUGHLIN PRESS CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS: Here is your pre-practice injury report on this, the first full work day for the Giants following the bye week: WR Plaxico Burress (ankle); WR Steve Smith (scapula/ hamstring); and RB Derrick Ward (ankle/groin).
According to head head coach Tom Coughlin, all three won't practice today (though Burress actually was able to do some work -- see the next item). Regarding Smith, the coach said the receiver's shoulder has come along on schedule, but the hamstring is the bigger of the two issues at the moment.
Safety James Butler, who is coming off a hamstring/ankle injury, will remain the starter, according to Coughlin, however, rookie Michael Johnson "has shown enough" to continue getting playing time.
BURRESS PRACTICE UPDATE:
WR Plaxico Burress did participate in drills today, doing the team drills and some of the individual drills, mixing things up by going in and out and running plays he thought might be important for him to run for this week's game so that he would be sharper for the showdown against Dallas. He also shared that his teammates applauded him when he had his first reception and that his ankle is getting a little stronger. | Injury Report | Head Coach Tom Coughlin | QB Eli Manning _ Wade Phillips | QB Tony Romo
