JULY 24, 2024 NEW YORK GIANTS TRAINING CAMP REPORT…
The New York Giants held their first summer training camp practice of the year on Wednesday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

INJURY REPORT…
The following players began training camp on injury lists:

  • Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List: RT Evan Neal (ankle), CB Aaron Robinson (knee), TE Theo Johnson (hip flexor)
  • Active/Non-Football Injury (NFI) List: CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver (groin) and S Jalen Mills (calf)

“(Neal has) got to get healthy,” said Head Coach Brian Daboll. “Then we’ll determine and all those other things will take care of itself. Right now, we’re focused on him day by day. He’ll be off to the side. The training staff is going to ease him back in there. How he plays and his contribution to the team will take care of itself from there… He’s not far (from returning). He’s been working hard all summer. Yeah, he’s been working hard all summer. He’s been doing everything he can to get back on the field. And, again, we’re going to communicate with our trainers and strength staff. When he’s ready to go, then he’ll be out there… I’m not going to get into the specifics of the injury.”

“(Neal) started 46 games at Alabama,” said General Manager Joe Schoen. “He’s still a young kid. He’s 23. He’ll be 24 coming up. He had the sprained knee his first year here. Came back early from that. Fought through the foot injury last year. So, you know, I think he’s a tough kid, and he’s doing everything he can, you know, to come back. And I think it’s legitimately something that he needs to continue to work through, and hopefully it’ll be good here soon.”

“(Robinson is) still trying to get back,” said Schoen. ” We’re rooting for A-Rob, obviously. You know, started some games early in our tenure here, and we’re just waiting for him to hopefully get back.”

“Theo should be back soon,” said Schoen. “You’ll see him on the side. I don’t anticipate him being out very long. You know, Jalen Mills is in the same boat. Stantley Thomas-Oliver as well. So, none of those guys I anticipate being long-term that I just mentioned.”

OT/OG Jermaine Eluemunor left practice early what looked to be a painful rib or arm injury. There is no word yet on the severity of the injury.

PRACTICE NOTES…
Some snippets from various media sources:

  • QB Daniel Jones fully participated, including 11-on-11 team drills. He was a bit erratic, finishing 7-of-12, and many of his completions were short passes with WR Wan’Dale Robinson and the running backs being frequent targets.
  • The starting offensive line was LT Andrew Thomas, LG Aaron Stinnie, OC John Michael Schmitz, RG Jon Runyan, and RT Jermaine Eluemunor.
  • The second-team offensive line was LT Josh Ezeudu, LG Jake Kubas, OC Austin Schlottmann, RG Jimmy Morrissey, and Joshua Miles.
  • The third-team offensive line was LT Matt Nelson, LG Jimmy Morrissey, OC Austin Schlottmann, RG Marcus McKethan, and RT Yodny Cajuste.
  • When Eluemunor left practice with an injury, Josh Ezeudu played right tackle with the first string. He promptly gave up a sack to OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux.
