Safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo, who both missed Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with knee injuries, were expected to return to practice in some fashion on Wednesday.
Head coach Brian Daboll said the two high-price free agent signings will “do stuff” during practice.
The Giants are short-handed in the secondary.
There is no guarantee that Holland and Adebo, starters at safety and cornerback, respectively, will be ready for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Starting cornerback Cor’Dale Flott is in concussion protocol and reserve cornerback Art Green is not practicing on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.
The Giants poached rookie Korie Black off the New York Jets practice squad last week, and he was forced into action against the Eagles. This week, they have claimed safety Jarrick Bernard-Converse off waivers from the Cleveland Browns.
The Giants are also opening the 21-day practice window for cornerback Rico Payton. The Giants claimed Payton off waivers from the New Orleans Saints before the beginning of the season, but placed him on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Also not practicing for the Giants on Wednesday are right tackle Jermaine Eleumunor (pectoral), wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (wisdom teeth), defensive lineman Chauncey Golston and tight end Daniel Bellinger (neck).
