Justin Tuck was ready to play against Dallas Cowboys despite of a damaged shoulder

At this decisive moment, many players such as Justin Tuck were ready to play the game against Dallas Cowboys despite of a damaged shoulder.


Playing through pain is something Justin Tuck, a fan of reggie white jersey is just used to. The New York Giants defensive lineman didn't miss a game last season, in fact, despite a damaged shoulder courtesy of Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams. So it should come as no surprise, that although he missed practice on Friday with an ankle sprain, Tuck, a fan of san francisco 49ers jersey has no intentions of missing Monday's pivotal NFC East showdown with Dallas (1-4).

If he makes it into Monday night's game in Dallas, he will be denied a crack at revenge against Adams, the beefy left tackle who laid him out with an intentional trip, causing a torn labrum that required offseason surgery. The injury hampered him the whole season, limiting the versatile end's production to 74 tackles and six sacks. Adams, a fan of patrick willis jersey, considered one of the dirtiest offensive linemen in the league, has since left for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But Tuck said just playing on Monday against the Cowboys is enough motivation.

"It doesn't make a difference to me whether he's there or not there," Tuck, a fan of michael crabtree jersey said. "I'm going to go out there and play the game the same way I know how to. I'll tell you this. When people ask you questions like that, you should play every game the same way. Human nature is you can't get up as high. But whatever gas you have that day, you leave it on the field. It makes no sense to me. Whenever you go out there, you should play to the best of your abilities."

Tuck, a fan of frank gore jersey was only playing the right side of the defense when he was injured last season, because Osi Umenyiora was not involved in that series. This year, with Umenyiora reverting to his 2007 Pro Bowl form and fellow end Dave Tollefson, a fan of ronnie lott jersey playing well as the Giants make up for Mathias Kiwanuka's absence with a herniated cervical disc, Tuck probably would not play vs. the left tackle. Adams' position is now manned by Doug Free, a fan of joe montana jersey, but left tackle is the one position Tuck has yet to line up over this year.

Although his ankle was the big problem, Tuck thought about the success of the team more. He said he would take any way to achieve that goal. "He was limping a little bit after the (Detroit) game," Coach Tom Coughlin, a fan of jerry rice jersey said. "But he went through it. Yesterday was fine, and it got sore overnight, evidently. So he just backed off. I expect him to be OK."

Linebacker Keith Bulluck, out the last three games with turf toe, worked with the first unit and proclaimed himself ready to go Monday. ... WR Hakeem Nicks, a fan of deion sanders jersey and FB Madison Hedgecock spent practice on the stationary bikes along with Tuck. Both have hamstring issues, Hedgecock a strain, and Nick’s tightness. Coughlin is hopeful Nicks will return Saturday.

It is an action worthy to be praised. We just wish that Justin Tuck won’t hurt himself again on the field.
