Jonathan Casillas updates rib injury; aims to play in opener

LB Jonathan Casillas suffered a rib injury in Saturday's preseason win over the Jets:

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Most of the Giants players are preparing for the NFL regular season by engaging in strenuous activity that includes practice and weightlifting. Jonathan Casillas is getting ready by remaining as still as possible.

“(I’m trying) not to laugh, cough, twisting and turning,” Casillas said today.

Casillas’ caution is well-founded. He suffered a rib injury early in the Giants’ 21-20 preseason victory over the Jets in the MetLife Bowl on Saturday.
