DT Melvin Lewis, a UDFA out of Kentucky, will open camp on the Non-Football Illness list for the Giants.
Non-Football Illness?

Isn't it Non-Football Injury list?

I think there are two different lists... one for illness and the other for injury.
No

Snacks, no Bromley, no Lewis.

thin at DT early on, maybe Whitlock will get some camp snaps there.

Possible. I really liked Whitlock and I'm not sure he'll make the 53. Shame really. Some team can use him, I'm sure.
Injuries I understand. They're part of the game.

But with the Giants they seem to come in clusters, hitting one position like an epidemic. Drives me nuts.

meh, a little swelling, back soon; a couple bone spurs scraped, back soon; an okay guy gone for, who knows how long; and, sick camp fodder.

By this day last year, we were well on our way to having no starting free safety for the whole season.

Haha. That is the dumbest joke but I laugh every time. And why does it have to be a pirate? Well, why not? Lmao.

Aye, it drives me nuts!

the illness? I assume if it was serious, they would cut him and bring in another body. He’s a UDFA. The fact that hasn’t happened suggests that it isn’t serious, and that they like his potential.

Good point about DT Nikita Whitlock.

We have been debating the chances of his making the team. My thought is just this: if he can rush the passer well (new moves); if he can play FB better (he's young / new to the position and played snaps last year so hopeful); and, he is a specials stud (we ranked #2 overall specials last year) he has a shot. You never let a pass rusher go.

So his getting more reps there, well, not a bad thing if he actually shines doing it.

We may end up going TE Tye, Donnell, Johnson and FB Whitlock with TE's Lacosse and Mallek sent to the PS with finger crossed no one snatches them.
