TRAINING DAY

CRUZ CONTROL

Victor Cruz was extra rested after not playing Friday night against the Bengals, and it showed. The dynamic wide receiver was sharp, explosive and made several impressive moves in space, which included hauling in a touchdown pass from Eli

Manning on a fade route in which he easily beat rookie safety Justin Currie.

SAFETY CONCERNS

Good thing the Giants picked up veteran safety Brandon Meriweather because their crop of safeties was exposed by the first-team offense. Manning threw three consecutive touchdown passes early in 11-on-11 drills, finding Cruz,

Odell Beckham Jr. and Larry Donnell. Bennett Jackson did pick off Manning on the final play of practice with a diving catch, retrieving the deflection created by cornerback Trevin Wade.

CAUGHT MY EYE

The Giants aren’t easing offensive guard Geoff

Schwartz back in. In his first practice since the opening week of camp, Schwartz got several first-team reps, splitting time with John Jerry, as well as getting some reps at right tackle when

Marshall Newhouse went out. His surgically repaired left ankle, which had kept him on the sidelines, looked fine on Sunday.

MEDICAL REPORT

Cornerback Prince Amukamara and safety

Nat Berhe both remained out, but the two were seen running sprints together early in practice. ... Linebacker Jonathan Casillas (stiff neck) missed practice, and offensive tackle Newhouse (overheated) left midway through the workout. ... Rookie safety

Landon Collins (MCL sprain) watched from the sideline, as did wide receiver Rueben

Randle (knee tendinitis).
