Snee has guarded optimism

Chris Snee was held out of team drills yesterday but worked individually, and still is hoping his sore ankle will allow him to play Sunday against the Eagles. The starting guard was injured in last Sunday night's opener, taken off on a cart and left the stadium on crutches - just a precaution, he said yesterday.

"It feels a lot better," he said. "The swelling had gone down and I'm able to put pressure on it as opposed to a couple of days ago. "It's just a matter of feeling comfortable with the ankle," he added. "I'm not going to go out there if I'm going to hurt the team in any way. If I feel good I'll go." Snee made a few devastating blocks as the Giants' O-line manhandled the Colts' lightweight front. (Daily News)
