Giants Wednesday Injury Report: Olivier Vernon Headlines Group Missing Practice

The names Olivier Vernon and Orleans Darkwa were expected to be on the injury list for the New York Giants on Wednesday, but there were a couple of unexpected additions as the Giants began practices in preparation for Sunday’s road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Linebacker Jonathan Casillas (ankle/wrist) and running back Shane Vereen (calf) joined Vernon (ankle), Darkwa (back, Bobby Hart (ankle) J.T. Thomas (groin) as players who missed practice on Wednesday.

In what might be a bit of good news, middle linebacker B.J. Goodson (shin) was listed as a limited participant. Goodson has not played in the last two games after making 18 tackles in the season opener.
