Prince Amukamara ready to return for Giants

It could have been worse.

Prince Amukamara missed the Giants' last five games with a partially torn pectoral muscle, and while sitting out those games was difficult for the starting cornerback, he's grateful to have had an injury that did not compromise his speed.

"If it happened to be an injury below the waist, I think I'd be more cautious and a little bit more worried, especially this week with DeSean [Jackson] and [Pierre] Garcon," he said on Monday. "But since my legs are able to run I feel like I'm able to go. And that's how it was the last five weeks, I didn't really feel like I was injured because I was able to walk, able to run a little bit, but I just knew my chest wasn't ready.
