Dockery Back on the Field

Last week, Kevin Dockery had headaches so painful that he was kept inside his dormitory room for days and he needed to wear sunglasses because he was sensitive to light. On Monday morning he was on the practice field in pads and a helmet, chasing after receivers and diving for balls with the same fervor as before.

It took a little more than a week for Dockery, a second-year cornerback for the Giants, to recover from what a team physician called “a mild traumatic brain injury,” or a concussion.

“I don’t think we’re going to have tackling practice with him,” Coach Tom Coughlin said. “I’d like to keep his head out of the contact for a little bit, but he feels good.”
