EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Ereck Flowers, the New York Giants' rookie left tackle who left Sunday's game with a sprained ankle, sat out practice Thursday. But the team said Flowers would attempt to practice Friday, and the extent to which he handles that work could go a long way toward determining his status for Monday Night's game in Miami.
Flowers is highly motivated to play in Miami, where he grew up and went to college, and with the Giants still tied for first place in the NFC East they can ill afford to be without him.
