JULY 26, 2024 NEW YORK GIANTS TRAINING CAMP REPORT…
The New York Giants held their third summer training camp practice of the year on Friday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
INJURY REPORT…
The following players remain 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)
S Tyler Nubin (calf) and DL Timmy Horne (calf) did not practice.
OT/OG Jermaine Eluemunor (ribs) was limited but he did participate in some 11-on-11 team drills.
“A little bit better,” replied Head Coach Brian Daboll when asked about Eluemunor. “We’ll probably do the same thing that we did yesterday with him. They have a day off tomorrow, with the hope that when we get back the next day, we’ll be ready to go. And pads will start up next week after the first day.
“Same thing (with Nubin), we’ll give him today. We’ll do the same thing we did with him yesterday, with the hope that he’s back here shortly. His calf is a little tight but it’s not long term or anything like that. We are just being smart to get through this first week, ramp up and hopefully next week we can get him back out there.”
