EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants safety Kenny Phillips is active and will play in his first game since injuring his MCL against the Eagles on Sept. 30.

Phillips missed the previous six games with the knee injury.

The Giants will also have linebacker Keith Rivers, who is active after sitting out the previous two games with calf and knee injuries.

Linebacker Jacquian Williams (knee), wide receiver Domenik Hixon (ankle), defensive end Adewale Ojomo, tackle James Brewer, tight end Adrien Robinson, defensive tackle Marvin Austin and offensive lineman Selvish Capers are inactive for the game. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw is active as expected.

Wide receivers Rueben Randle and Ramses Barden both could see more snaps in Hixon's absence.
