Giants’ Eli Apple and Victor Cruz day-to-day with injuries
The Giants have high hopes for Apple and Shepard this season.
Ryan Tannehill completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 4,208 yards and 24 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. Ryan Nassib threw a pair of picks in New York’s 27-10 preseason opening loss to Miami.
In that game, Dolphins defensive end Terrence Fede, a Marist College graduate, had two solo tackles and two assisted tackles. Next week, Tannehill should play the entire first quarter and possibly part of the second quarter as well. “You never go into a game expecting to throw interceptions, obviously when you fail it’s disappointing and frustrating, but we have to bounce back and get back out there”. “Protecting the football is the No. 1 priority in this game and that’s one of the biggest stats in if you’re going to win or lose games”, Nassib said.
“I know that I’m probably going to be having a lot of one-on-ones inside because they’ll be focusing on JPP and OV”, he said.
Seemingly every one of their practice meetings – Apple, a first-round cornerback, and Shepard, a second-round wide receiver – has been chronicled in some way. His removal was precautionary.
It simply means that you don’t mold players who are comfortable being uncomfortable into a McAdoo dream team that is sound, smart, tough, committed to discipline and poise overnight.
“B.J. was flying around”, head coach Ben McAdoo said to reporters after the game. Cruz sat out Friday night’s preseason opener.
Beckham and Manning got their work in before the game.
Victor Cruz was on the sideline Friday night, and he has continued to get treatment for the groin issue that halted his comeback earlier this week.
Cruz returned to practice for the team on Sunday but was barely able to get through a few reps. Grant had the most yards from returns and receptions, unfortunately he did sustain and injury that kept him out late in the game the good news is that its minor. WR Geremy Davis (groin) and FB Will Johnson (neck) are not practicing on Sunday, McAdoo said.
Eli Apple and Sterling Shepard have been linked from the moment they walked into the Giants’ training facility back in the spring.
The teams already had left the field before the announcement, which remained in its entirety on the stadium’s four scoreboard screens. The seats and the field were empty with less than five minutes to kickoff. A light rain was falling and there were lightning flashes in the distance above the northeast end zone.
In a conference call Saturday, McAdoo said Apple was sent for further evaluation and a scan of his left knee. “We need to develop those guys”.
“The first couple of drives we saw some glimpses of things that we can do well”, Jennings said. He seems to be a man on a mission, so it’s nice to see him respond with some carries last week. Although there’s little reason to think Nassib wouldn’t hold the clipboard for Manning for a fourth straight season, he did little to close the door on Thomas, who appeared in two games for the Arizona Cardinals in 2014 as a fourth-round selection of his own.
