Make no mistake about it, every player on this list is likely to play, even the probable ones. Of the two teams, however, the list is a very simple way of saying that the Giants are healthier than the Patriots, if only marginally.

In case you aren’t familiar with injury reports in the NFL, they vary greatly from team to team. Theoretically, “probable” means the player has a 75% chance of playing, “questionable” is 50%, and “doubtful” is a 25% chance. Let’s be realistic. That’s incredible subjective.

Still fans of both teams should feel better knowing that there are no “doubtful” listings on either team. In short, the Super Bowl should have full participation from both squads. Pre-existing injuries won’t play a large role in this game.
