Toomer, hobbling and frustrated, won't sit down

Amani Toomer finally confirmed yesterday what his recent production has suggested: that he continues to be slowed by the right hamstring injury he said he originally suffered against the Lions on Oct. 24.

"It's frustrating not being able to do some stuff you ordinarily could do," the Giants receiver said. "It's steadily starting to show some signs of improvement, but it's still there."

Toomer had 24 catches in the first five games and has 18 in six games since the injury - eight of which came against the Cardinals on Nov. 14. He has not had a reception for 30 or more yards since September, is without a touchdown catch this season, and is on pace for his fewest receptions and yards since 1998.
