Justin Pugh, offensive lineman for the NY Giants, has returned to practice after recovering from an ACL injury. Pugh, who tore his ACL last year, took part in his first full pads practice on Wednesday. If he plays on Sunday night, it will mark exactly 364 days since his injury. Pugh's return is seen as a positive development for the Giants' offensive line, as he brings veteran leadership to a young position group. Pugh's mentality of getting back up and making the next play despite setbacks is expected to benefit the team.
