Practice report: Steve Weatherford working

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford was on the field and punting during the portion of practice open to the media on Friday.

Weatherford suffered a high ankle sprain in the team's season-opening loss to the Detroit Lions, and sat out practice the past two days.

He looked pretty good, but place-kicker Josh Brown attempted a few punts, too. Brown is the Giants' backup if Weatherford can't kick Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Linebacker Jon Beason was on the field, too, after sitting out practice Thursday. He'll likely be limited, but that would still be a good sign.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham and defensive tackle Markus Kuhn were still on the sidelines, working with the trainers.

We'll have a more detailed injury update later, following practice and interviews with coach Tom Coughlin and the players.
