With FB Robert Douglas out of practice with a meniscus injury that will require surgery, Reuben Droughns worked with the first team at fullback. It's been asked about and speculated about since the Giants traded for Droughns and especially since Jim Finn went on IR in June. "We're going to work Reuben, who's done that before in Denver, (at fullback) and of course, (Michael) Matthews," coach Tom Coughlin said. "I'd like to see Reuben (against the Patriots on Thursday) at fullback."
