TRAINING DAY
SIMPLY ’QUONDERFUL
Saquon Barkley put on a show, catching four passes and flaunting his shiftiness. During 11-on-11 drills, Barkley made
Ryan Connelly look silly on a fake toward the sidelines before cutting up the middle. GONE BAKER Cornerback DeAndre Baker’s absence was noticeable. Losing the first-round pick for any period of time wouldn’t make things any easier for the Giants, especially considering
Grant Haley and Sam Beal are still battling injury. Coach Pat Shurmur said that DeAndre Baker “felt something” in his knee during individual warmups and will have an MRI.
CAUGHT MY EYE
Eli Manning threw a lot Sunday, going 18-for-23. His increased reps were a result of Shurmur focusing primarily on the first and second teams, leaving quarterbacks Alex Tanney and Kyle Lauletta with zero team snaps for the day. KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES
Daniel Jones went 2-for-5 in the blitz period, which included a drop from T.J. Jones that was forced by great defense from Julian Love. He finished the day going 7-for-13 with an interception by safety Sean
Chandler, as well as two throws that resulted in defensive pass interference. MEDICAL REPORT LB Alec Ogletree (calf strain) did not practice. OT Chad Wheeler participated in individual drills after being sidelined due to back tightness. WR Sterling
Shepard (broken thumb) and CB Grant Haley (strained shoulder) were still practicing in yellow non-contact pinnies. OT George Asafo-Adjei was still in the concussion protocol. OT
Brian Mihalik (burner) remained sidelined.
