It looks like the Giants will get one of their injured players back this week.

The team announced Wednesday that wideout Mario Manningham was cleared to return to practice on a limited basis. He missed last week’s game following a concussion.

With Manningham out, the Giants got to see what a playmake Victor Cruz can be on the outside. We wonder if the Giants will put Manningham in the slot more to keep Cruz on the field.

New York could also get Osi Umenyiora back this week. Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News said there was a “50-50" chance Osi would play.
