Paul Perkins has a pec injury that required surgery, per source. The injury occurred before the start of the offseason program. No word on how long hell be sidelined.
Sounds like we will be picking up a RB  
ZogZerg : 4/26/2018 10:31 am : link
at some point in the draft.
Time is ticking, Paul.  
Brown Recluse : 4/26/2018 10:31 am : link
Especially if they pick a RB in the draft.

Gonna be crowded.
why do the Giants have such a problem  
Bill in UT : 4/26/2018 10:32 am : link
with telling the truth? We've heard for days that he was in a sling for a sore arm
Don't think he was much in their plans anyway  
jeff57 : 4/26/2018 10:32 am : link
It will be Gallman, Stewart and whoever they pick in the draft.

Yep. Pretty much the same thing with Collins.

very bad injury  
UESBLUE : 4/26/2018 10:38 am : link
for ball carrier when you consider the force and dynamics used by D to try and rip the ball away. Could be a career ender.

RB Paul Perkins not participating in Giants minicamp because of a pectoral injury. It occurred before the offseason program and he had a procedure. The Giants are short on running backs right now. Hmmmmmm.

Giants are short at RB, WR, OL, DL, LB, DB... perhaps QB.

Curious if the injury lingers  
Diver_Down : 4/26/2018 10:42 am : link
if he would be placed on the NFI and we would get a roster exemption.

Maybe we should pick one at #2 for a camp body
Barkley has 29 ways of showing  
Motley Two : 4/26/2018 10:49 am : link
that his pecs are just fine.
In just a little over 9 hours  
Coach LB : 4/26/2018 10:53 am : link
my hope is to see a trade back to #5 with Denver and grabbing Barkley or Chubb and picking up Denver's 2,3 & next years 1 or 2. Otherwise if no trade stay at 2 and take Barkley or Chubb.
Coach  
Tim in VA : 4/26/2018 11:01 am : link
If we trade to 5 Cleveland runs to the podium for Barkley at 4
Guice, Chubb, Johnson, Miichel, Jones, Penny, Walton  
jeff57 : 4/26/2018 11:04 am : link
Many backs to choose from in rounds 2 and 3.

Totally possible but then we take Chubb and as Jeff57 mentioned there are plenty of other backs to take plus the extra picks help fill other holes in rounds 2 & 3. That would be a great play for NYG.
Ouch ...

I'm no doctor, but isn't there a 6-month recovery period for pectoral surgery?

All the more reason to take a RB in the 1st or 2nd round.
Perkins  
Tom in DC : 4/26/2018 12:54 pm : link
I don't think Perkins situation will dictate picking Barkley or not. Also, Perkins who couldn't participate showed up to minicamp and Flowers still didn't. Perkins didn't have to be there.
He has a legit reason for missing the offseason program  
Les in TO : 4/26/2018 12:57 pm : link
Unlike Flowers and his bruised ego
I give a 50/50 chance of making the squad  
Bluesbreaker : 4/26/2018 1:06 pm : link
prior to the injury . We needed an upgrade last year was
thinking Foreman Kamara Hunt but we took Webb so double edge sword if Webb pans out big if I guess but the need for RB is big IMO back ups dime a dozen time we got a feature back that opponents have to account for .
