East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - New York Giants running back Tiki Barber was at practice on Wednesday and showed no ill effects of a leg injury he suffered in last week's game against Jacksonville. He is listed as probable for this Sunday's game against Minnesota. "Tiki is fine," said Giants head coach Jim Fassel on Wednesday. Barber injured his lower leg late in the fourth quarter of last week's 24-17 victory over the Jaguars. He ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns during the contest, but had to be taken off the field on a cart. The injury first appeared serious, but x-rays were negative. "I was more scared than anything," Barber said in the locker room after the game. "I heard a little clicking in my ankle, but it's nothing serious." Barber, who had 19 carries, also had four receptions for 62 yards in Sunday's game. He has been the Giants' offensive catalyst this season. He leads the team with 545 rushing yards and also has a team-high 40 receptions for 389 yards. Linebacker Mike Barrow was held out of practice on Wednesday because of a pulled hamstring he sustained last week. He is listed as questionable, but is expected to play unless he has a setback later this week. "It was precautionary," Fassel said. "He's a lot better today. It was tight yesterday." yesterday."
