This guy is a huge piece to the rebuild puzzle. Need him to get valuable playing time this year so when the Giants have a chance to be good again he's got the reps to be a big part of the team.
Just because he "felt" something in warmups doesnt mean it isnt something that happened yesterday. It's not like he was in a drill and planted and went down/out. It's possible this happened earlier and he thought it was nothing but felt it again in warmups today.
RE: Waiting for the posters to say fuck training camp and preseason Â
Football causes so many injuries. It’s almost absurd.
You just hope it’s not your teams QB, main offensive weapon (Barkley for us), top lineman or top pass rusher (not relevant to giants as they don’t have one).
I’d rather have a DB be hurt. Many teams plug and play these guys now.

They're plug and play because there are a lot of players who can play at mediocre level. It's as hard to find actually good corners as it is to find good offensive linemen.

The results for the 2018 New York Giants completely counter that line of thinking.

With all due respect, are you really going to start on how unimportant secondaries are again, after the GM of the Giants completely gutted and reinvested in the secondary? Or are you going to go on again about how none of the playoff teams had plus secondaries, when many of them had multiple All Pro players.
The Giants management certainly didn't think winging it with an awful secondary with no depth was a good call. Thankfully their roster building didn't amount to; the Eagles lucked out for a few games after their secondary was decemated and scraped together a 9-7 season, let's try that.

Hearing #Giants rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker sprained his left knee during non-contact individual drills early in Sunday's practice. He will undergo further evaluation Monday after today's MRI.
Nothing definitive yet on what the scan showed or the severity of the injury.

The early word from the Giants is that they are calling first-DeAndre Baker’s injury a knee sprain with more tests coming Monday. Not completely out of the clear yet though. Baker felt something during Sunday’s practice. #Giants
They need this kid back for game 1. If this is a long term injury, it might be wise to look into a Vet. I like the potential of the other rookies, but its going to take some time for them to develop good feel for the game.

What playoff teams had “multiple all pro” players in their secondary?
I never said the secondary was unimportant. I said building a pass rush is more important and the foundation of a good defense.
Reported as a "sprain," but "strain," "sprain" and "tear" are all on the same spectrum. Fibers in the ligament are stretched and/or torn. So even if it's "just" a sprain it's something he and the Giants will have to manage going forward.

Exactly. Our best hope is that this is an MCL injury as that can repair itself. Any other ligament and that could mean surgery now or possibly later.
Thankfully the Giants have something resembling depth in the secondary.
Ballentine, Haley, Jenkins (if finally healthy), Peppers, and Bethea is a great deal more compitent than the embarrassment trotted out there last year.
F Warmups!
Here's hoping for the best.

In 2017 both the Titans and Jags had multiple All Pro selections from their secondaries.

So 2 of 12 each year and none made the Super Bowl. Sounds like a formula for success!

Well given that half of them made it farther than the 2018 Eagles, better odds than hoping a decimated secondary is going to get you there.
You can strengthen muscles. You cannot strengthen ligaments.
