Thursday's Giants-Lions Joint Practice Media Tweets

"Barkley sat out the second straight day of the Giants practice sessions with the Lions here Wednesday, in full uniform with no shoulder pads. He was in high spirits, though, and the leg did not seem to be bothering him too much. He certainly was not protecting his leg as if it hurt too badly."

Hammy injuries are sometimes tough to judge. They may feel fine under normal activity, but then show their nasty self again when a player tries to hit the high-gear.

Better than you can walk also.

resume normal practice next week and then try and get some reps in the Jets game.

"Golden Tate on Jalen Ramsey's Matthew Stafford comments: "He has his opinion. I don't know when's the last time they played us?"

Reporter: 2 years ago.

Tate: "What happened?"

Reporter: Lions won, and he was crying on the bench.

Tate: "Oh."

Agree with that assessment. Even a mild hamstring (grade 1) strain is a two week injury if your a RB in this game. Glad it happened now rather than later.

Giants having a light practicing in a drizzle here in Allen Park. Resembles a walk-through. Saquon Barkley again on the field but not participating. Preseason game No. 2 Friday night in Detroit.

Going to be a light practice in the rain. Players are just in helmets and shells. Barkley not doing much again.

Joint “practice” number 3 is in the books. Really a little more than an hour of walk-thrus. I don’t think I saw anyone run full speed except for me toward the free ice cream truck.

Coach Shurmur: Good situational work today...we got a lot of special teams work in...it was a really good week. Very competitive. #GiantsCamp

I asked Pat Shurmur if the fact Odell Beckham practiced against the #Lions all week will impact his availability for the game: “I have a plan and ideas, and they’ll be revealed tomorrow.” #Giants

.@saquon - I’m feeling good. It’s coming along. It’s frustrating watching your guys go out there and be competitive...but I trust the trainers and they have a great plan in place to get me back as soon as possible.

Saquon Barkley asked “if there were a playoff game tomorrow could you play?”: As a competitor, I’d want to play. I want to play tomorrow, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen.” #Giants #Lions

Saquon Barkley said he regrets not doing more to prevent his hamstring strain.

Saquon Barkley says that this is the first time that he’s had to deal with a hamstring injury. Even spoke to some #Lions players, and Odell Beckham about how to deal with it and get back quicker. #Giants

why push it.

I would not play Barkley or OBJ in pre- season games. The season depends upon having both healthy.

I have to think that is better for hte other wide outs more practice with the !'s and to show what they can do....or not do (the flip side of the coin).

This last few days of scrimmages has shown the team what OBJ can do. Save him till next week for a quarter of two, then sit him

Either Shurmur is very well organized or he is faking it very well. You wouldn’t have gotten such a respectful answer from the last guy.
