The New York Giants return to East Rutherford for the second day of joint practices with the New York Jets.
Today’s practices will be hosted by the Giants at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center facility, after spending yesterday at the Jets’ facilities at Florham Park.
Yesterday’s practices were a defensive duel, as both offenses struggled to move the ball against the opposing defense. The Jets’ offense got out to a quick start that quickly cooled as Brian Burns and Abdul Carter made life miserable for the Jets’ blockers. The Giants, meanwhile, had a shaky offensive performance, but finished strong with touchdowns in team red zone drills.
We’ll be watching to see if the Giants’ offense can rebound after their slow start. Likewise, we’ll be looking to see if the defense can build on yesterday’s performance.

We’ll also be on the lookout to see who does, or does not, practice today. The Giants were missing OT Andrew Thomas, OG Evan Neal, WR Malik Nabers, WR Jalin Hyatt, WR Da’Quan Felton, RB Cam Skattebo, and CB Dru Phillips due to injury. We’ll be watching to see if any are able to get on the practice field today.
