Kenny Phillips doubtful vs. Redskins

The New York Giants' defense may be at less than full strength for its Monday night clash with Robert Griffin III.

Safety Kenny Phillips is listed as doubtful for the pivotal NFC East game with a knee injury.

Phillips aggravated an MCL injury that kept him out of six games earlier this season last Sunday night against Green Bay.

Phillips, who went through a limited practice on Saturday, sounded confident all week that he would play against the Redskins. A source said the safety has been moving tentatively in practice.

The Giants on Sunday boarded their charter Amtrak train for their trip to Washington, DC for Monday night’s game against the Redskins and safety Kenny Phillips went along for the ride with his teammates. By making the trip, the Giants are at least holding out hope that Phillips might improve enough to give it a shot.
