Every member of the Giants practiced Wednesday. Even the starting running back that usually sits out the midweek session.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin told NFC pool reporter Peter King that Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) told trainer Ronnie Barnes that he wanted to be part of the first practice of Super Bowl week with his teammates.

“I just hope he’s okay tomorrow,’’ said Coughlin.

Injuries don’t seem to be a problem. King said every player looked close to full speed. He described a spirited practice full of “exuberant” players enjoying their time back on the field.

“I saw that,’’ said Coughlin. “They’ve been excited about getting back to work for the first time in a few days.’’
