Giants left tackle Ereck Flowers sits out with hip flexor

Giants rookie left tackle Ereck Flowers sat out Monday's practice with a sore hip flexor, but head coach Tom Coughlin does not think the injury is too severe.

"He doesn't seem to be bad," Coughlin said after the practice. "This morning he was sore but by the time I caught him in the meeting room he was doing this [swinging his leg]. Hopefully it's just a short amount of time."

The Giants are calling Flowers day-to-day. Coughlin said the injury occurred a few days ago and Flowers tried to play through it.

With Flowers out, the Giants had Justin Pugh slide from left guard to left tackle.
