Phillips unhappy with how knee rehab went
BY Ralph Vacchiano
It has been nine long weeks since Kenny Phillips first suffered an MCL injury and he never imagined his right knee would still be a problem. And its not just bad luck or chronic knee issues, either.
Phillips said hes still hurting because When we started our rehab we didnt go about it the right way.
The Giants safety wouldnt get into specifics, nor did he place blame on any one person, but he seemed clearly unhappy about the way his injury has been handled since he first got hurt in a Week 4 game in Philadelphia. He missed the next six games plus the bye week before returning last Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers.
Then he hurt his knee again.
Yeah, it sucks, Phillips said. Its real frustrating. It seems like its always something. But Ive been able to play through it. This is probably the most Ive been able to play. Im trying to bounce back from it. It felt OK. Im getting better each day.
Phillips, who was limited in practice on Friday, is pressing to play again on Monday night in Washington and hopes to remain in the lineup the rest of the season. But hes clearly still hurting and said itll likely be that way until the offseason when he can rest.
