Giants cornerback Aaron Ross returned to practice today and says he'll be ready to play in Sunday's NFC title game against Green Bay.
Ross had to leave the NFC semifinal in Dallas last Sunday after his right shoulder twice popped out of its socket. The first-round pick from Texas plans to wear a harness for the Packers game.
Meanwhile, cornerbacks Sam Madison (stomach) and Kevin Dockery (hip) didn't practice, although Madison took part in some individual drills. The starter was sidelined for playoff wins over Tampa Bay and the Cowboys.
And receiver Plaxico Burress (ankle) and tackle Kareem McKenzie (ankle) practiced on a limited basis.
The forecast for the title game in Green Bay, Wisconsin, calls for a game-time temperature of about 4 degrees.
