Chris Canty made the most out of his first post-lockout visit back to the New York Giants practice facility.While other teams in the NFL did not allow players to do much in their practice facilities, the Giants opened their doors and let the defensive tackle into the weight room to get a workout in.As one of three Giants who visited the team's Timex Performance Center, Canty worked out and met with coaches.

Players will still be allowed in the facility and can talk to staff members but they will not be allowed to discuss football or football-related business talk."We have decided that our workout and training rooms will be closed until we get clarification from the pending challenges to the court's decision," said Pat Hanlon, Giants vice president of communications.Canty arrived around that time for his workout and was immediately greeted by Charles Way, the team's director of player development. Jacobs visited just before Canty left and remained over an hour after talking to coaches and even grabbing some gumbo in the cafeteria.
Running back Brandon Jacobs and wide receiver Mario Manningham were the other two Giants who stopped by the facility.

Jacobs said he even interrupted an offensive coaches staff meeting to say hello and spent time chatting with head coach Tom Coughlin about family, the lockout and last year's poor finish for the Giants, who missed the playoffs for a second straight year."I got a good workout, and felt pretty good," Canty said after spending about two and a half hours at the facility. "Got a chance to meet with the coaches, it was great. We are excited to get back to business as usual.""I am going to come back as long as the door is open," Canty added about Wednesday. "There was no tension here. Now I know that hasn't exactly been the thing around the rest of the league but coming in here was like we never left. Coach is always excited to have guys back in the building and we are just excited to move forward and get back to work."U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson on Monday granted the players' request for an injunction to lift the lockout,Prada Sunglaess, halting the NFL's work stoppage. The league filed an appeal and the NFL issued a statement indicating players would not be allowed to work out.
Manningham was the first to arrive at the facility, close to 11:30 in the morning.

He was then told that that the New York Jets did not allow their players access to the weight room or training facilities.Jacobs said he came to the facility out of curiosity after his agent told him to see if he could go inside.The running back said he will return to work out Wednesday and he praised the organization for being so accommodating to the players."That is the difference between this organization and all the other ones out there," Jacobs said. "They want us to get in and get some work in because after all is said and done, we are still their players and we are going to be the ones playing so why keep all of our resources from us?"Canty flew in on Tuesday morning from Charlotte, where he was spending time with his family for Easter. The defensive tackle reportedly has a $250,000 workout bonus in his contract. It is not clear whether Tuesday's workout session counts toward that bonus with the labor uncertainty but Canty couldn't have hurt his cause by getting a workout in the team facility on the first day he could do so after the lockout was lifted.
