Bruce Johnson Plays Well

With Ross and Corey Webster sidelined, the Giants started Kevin Dockery at cornerback opposite Terrell Thomas. (Webster was ruled out on Sunday with a sprained knee suffered last week against the Eagles.) Rookie Bruce Johnson worked as the third cornerback and recorded his second interception of the season on a botched fake field goal attempt by the Redskins at the end of the first half.

“The credit has to go to Kevin Dockery and Bruce Johnson,” Coughlin said. “Both of those guys got a chance to play an awful lot against a very talented receiving corps. They did an outstanding job, along with Terrell.”

Webster’s knee sprain is not serious and he might return this Sunday against the Panthers.
