Terrell Thomas said he will try to practice today and see how his back reacts. Says back tightened up but feel better today

Mike Garafolo@MikeGarafolo

As for whether he'll be participating in that practice, he's not sure yet. His back is still tight but not a serious issue. #nyg

Chris Canty says he definitely doesn't want to miss season opener vs Dallas. But he also has no timetable for coming off PUP
Sorry to hear about Canty.  
Klaatu : 7/28/2012 12:25 pm : link
But it does open the door for Austin to get some snaps with the ones. Should be a good battle between Austin and Bernard in Canty's absence.
Sorry--what's wrong with Canty exactly?

Domenik Hixon is running with the first team early in Giants camp.
If it wasn't clear already, the Giants are going to make No. 63 pick Rueben Randle beat out Hixon for No. 3 receiver duties. Randle should begin his depth chart climb once the Giants begin preseason games. Hixon could ultimately find himself behind both Randle and Jerrel Jernigan, and is a poor late-round flier in fantasy leagues.

Ebenezer Samuel Ebenezer Samuel@ebenezersamuel
Reese expects a ton more from Prince than last year's performance: "He should challenge for a starting job and play like a first-round draft pick. When you pick a guy that high in the first round, you expect him to play and play well and be a strong contributor to your team."
Canty's got a knee.

Not looking good for Greg Jones. Reese mentioned two "young linebackers," Jacquian Williams and Mark Herzlich. Not Jones...
anyone calling Jones a 'lock'...  
Matt G : 7/28/2012 12:46 pm : link
Hasn't looked at this roster... Jones is squarely on the bubble if not a "longshot"...

Brilliant. Rain coming down. Giants will practice on lacrosse field at Albany today.

Mike Garafolo@MikeGarafolo

Giants plan to practice outside at 1:30p as scheduled. Moving the session to the turf field (lacrosse field) here at UAlbany. #nyg


Crazy as this sounds, rehabbing in camp ain't bad  
SGMen : 7/28/2012 1:19 pm : link
I mean, if you are a veteran of the system and you are @camp working your way up to practicing it isn't all bad for the team. It gives younger guys reps and keeps the veteran fresh. Lets hope Canty, Nicks, Beatty and the others all heal in time to play at least some before game 1 on September 5th. We will need our OL fully intact to beat Dallas!

Canty's injury  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 2:08 pm : link
is why we had to bring back Bernard
GiantsFan84  
SGMen : 7/28/2012 2:13 pm : link
Oh, I agree it isn't training for the rehabbing person but it is by default more training for the young guys like Austin. Just saying the hits aren't there on the veteran's body and they already know the system. Health is the key to making a good run in the NFL so lets hope our vets mend and our youngsters learn fast.

LB Jones is no lock to make this team unless specials get him over the hump. I mean, he did start some games last year so he has some experience.
Absent  
AcidTest : 7/28/2012 2:34 pm : link
injuries making the decisions, there are going to be some tough cuts. Jones could be one of them. He looked overmatched at LB, but that was to be expected given that he was a rookie and because of the lockout. But I thought he played well on ST, which was probably all we could have reasonably expected given those circumstances.

I am also really interested in the WR battle, not only for the number #3 position, but also to see if anyone can challenge Hixon and Barden.
I think people  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 2:36 pm : link
are really sleeping on Jernigan. At this point, I expect more out of him than from Barden.
the canty injury could contemplate the final roster spot  
GiantsFan84 : 7/28/2012 2:42 pm : link
does this make them carry 5 DT's during the season including canty or 4? that is going to be a big decision.

if they are able to only carry 4 DTs and 6 LB, they could use a spot to keep an extra OL like mccants/mosley or an extra WR like collins if they think they won't be able to sneak them onto the practice squad
I think the word you are looking for  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 2:45 pm : link
is complicate.
yes thank you dave

Jernigan just beat Corey Webster on a deep catch down sideline. Second straight day he is looking good

Mike Garafolo ‏@MikeGarafolo
Anybody looking for Cruz letdown should probably keep looking. He looks as explosive as he was last year plus more polished. #nyg

Ohm Youngmisuk ‏@NotoriousOHM
Eli Manning just missed Cruz on a bomb past Coe. Cruz tried to haul it in with left hand. Jernigan makes another catch from Carr in 7 on 7

Art Stapleton ‏@art_stapleton
Boley might just be getting retaped. He was sitting on turf and now back up on his feet watching with other LBs. We'll see #nyg

Re: MG tweet on Cruz -  
section125 : 7/28/2012 3:00 pm : link
looks more polished? Is that possible?
what Cruz cant improve his game  
Blue Blood : 7/28/2012 3:01 pm : link
like everyone else ??
it's very possible  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 3:02 pm : link
He was basically a rookie last year. He'll recognize things quicker. Look out
if cruz improves his game  
bigblueviator : 7/28/2012 3:03 pm : link
and JJ, Hixon, Randle come on strong -- thats some serious weaponry in the WR unit

said it didn't look bad.
now he says

Trattou being carted to locker room.
Sorry  
section125 : 7/28/2012 3:13 pm : link
meant to be a rhetorical question - like sarcasm hard to read.

Of course, Cruz can improve. He's already close to being the best slot receiver in the NFL; any improvement will be a bonus.

MrAppleGate88: @ebenezersamuel yo eb how does bennett look?

ebenezersamuel: @MrAppleGate88 huge. And athletic. Haven't seen him make a play yet though
I hope he is ok  
Mason : 7/28/2012 3:16 pm : link
I am really looking forward to seeing him get a lot more reps this season. He and RP are my PS crew. I love rooting for guys like that. :)
He can improve  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 3:16 pm : link
his play a bit from the outside and recognize the adjustments a bit quicker. He can also be a little more consistent catching the ball.
