Trent Richardson and Vontae Davis in line to start vs. Giants

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis is on his way to playing against the New York Giants on Monday after leaving last weekend’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first quarter with a knee injury.

Davis was a full participant in practice Thursday. Receiver Reggie Wayne, who missed the Pittsburgh game because of an elbow injury, did not practice, but that’s not uncommon because coach Chuck Pagano gives him a rest day during the week.

Pagano said it’s “too early in the week” to tell if Wayne will play against the Giants. The coach wants to see how Wayne practices the rest of the week before making a decision.

Running back Trent Richardson was not listed on the injury report, which means he should be back in the starting lineup against the Giants after being held out of the Steelers’ game because of a hamstring injury.

“We’ll just go back to how we were,” Pagano said. “We want to be smart with all our players, monitor the reps. Guy gets hot, obviously we’ll try to feed a guy that’s hot, but not go overboard with it and put somebody in harm’s way, if you will.”

Here’s the rest of the Thursday practice report:

Did not practice: Running back Ahmad Bradshaw (rest), linebacker D'Qwell Jackson (toe), defensive lineman Art Jones (ankle), linebacker Josh McNary (ankle), linebacker Erik Walden (quad)
