July 31, 2015 New York Giants Training Camp Report - ( New Window )
too bad for Edwards -  
Del Shofner : 7/31/2015 7:00 pm : link
didn't you have some hopes for him, Eric?

Yup, and I think the Giants liked him, but he pulled his hamstring on one of the last plays of mini-camp and it clearly hasn't healed.
An indication that Cruz

has lost anything?

Headhunter...looked good according to reports.

BTW, just updated report to include Troy Kropog was let go.
Read that Cruz looked sharp out of his cuts  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 7/31/2015 7:30 pm : link
He went to the ground and came up fine. But didn't hear anything about speed or explosion.
Makes sense.....

Hurt your hamstring on the Giants and it is a career ending situation. Our hamstring injuries are like microfracture knee surgery for other teams.

yeah I saw that too. Made me laugh. Was as if Tom was diffusing the situation on his drops before anyone can ask about it. Essentially wiping the guy's slate clean and letting him write a new story here.
The NEW definition of "Outstanding Hands"  
David B. : 7/31/2015 9:05 pm : link
For the NYG is anyone with 10 or more fingers.

Yes. Hands like that mean you have to establish the run when leading 21-17 at halftime.

Hah?????
Well, a real shame Edwards was cut this early  
SGMen : 7/31/2015 11:22 pm : link
It is good to hear Cruz performed some.
The OL remains for now.
The DL will rotate regardless of what they write now.

Stay healthy! Learn the defense!!

As for JPP, at this point, I'm not counting on him in any way, shape or form.
I know many were big on Edwards  
bc4life : 8/1/2015 8:35 am : link
but I never thought he had much of a chance. Beckham, Cruz, Randle, and Harris - left one...at the most two positions. He had to beat out Parker, Davis, and Washington for that remaining spot(s). I know it's happened, Cruz being a glaring example of the long shot making it. Just seemed like there teams with a lot less wr depth....places he would have had a better shot of sticking.

Good luck to him.
I would be very happy with about 30 more Practice Reports  
Jimmy Googs : 8/1/2015 8:56 am : link
whereas "no one was injured". The off-season losses of Beatty and JPP are more than enough to deal with.

Lets just come out of camp relatively healthy for once and have true competition decide the 53-man roster versus the last one standing approach.
