Johnson

Rookie Michael Johnson will likely get the start against the Dolphins.

Brandon Jacobs participated and may not be listed on the injury report at all. Rookie Michael Johnson appears likely to start at strong safety against Miami. Burress was expected to miss practice, and still should start Sunday.

Butler, who has been marginally productive in his first year starting, was replaced by rookie Michael Johnson. Butler’s status for Week 8 is uncertain.

Butler was injured during the Giants win over the Niners on Sunday and did not return. Rookie Michael Johnson replaced him and would be the likely starter in Week 8 if Butler cannot go.

Johnson will compete with James Butler and Jason Bell for a back-up role. The team has now signed every draft pick.

Stone’s spot is now likely to go to Michael Johnson or J.R. Reed. With third S Will Demps injured, the winner could see playing time during the first week or two. The team also released rookie WR Marco Thomas and signed LB Karibi Dede.

He appears likely to miss at least another game, although he did do some running. SS James Butler also missed practice, and Craig Dahl, who started last week, sat out with a sprained ankle. Michael Johnson was the team’s only practicing safety.

A check-down loving Donovan McNabb couldn’t take advantage of rookie fill-ins Craig Dahl and Michael Johnson last week, but maybe Todd Collins can. Wilson did do some running Friday, so there’s hope he’ll play in Week 16.

Tests only revealed a sprain in the knee, but Wilson isn’t ready to practice. Michael Johnson, who made five tackles in Week 13, would start in his place.

It doesn’t look nearly as good for FS Gibril Wilson. Rookie Michael Johnson, who’s naturally more of a run player, will start in Wilson’s place and play a lot in coverage. It’s positive news for the Eagles’ passing game.
