With Elerson Smith and Jihad Ward leaving practice today, the Giants currently have five healthy OLB, including Azeez Ojulari, who was just activated from NFI due to a hamstring injury.
Ojulari, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oshane Ximines, Quincy Roche and Tomon Fox the only OLB left.

Things actually may be more dire on the OL, with only 10 healthy players coming out of today's practice:
LT Andrew Thomas, LG Max Garcia, C Ben Bredeson, RG Mark Glowinski, RT Evan Neal, LT Devery Hamilton, LT Roy Mbaeteka, C Garrett McGhin, RG Will Holden, RT Eric Smith.
the Strength and Conditioning team for injury prevention, and the medical team is more for treating injuries and making sure they are fully healed before becoming active again?
Even then, I question how realistic it is to prevent injuries with large humans that are pushing their bodies to the limit? It just seems inevitable and unpredictable even with preventative measures like proper stretching, rest and nutrition.

A few more observations after reviewing my notes:
• I had Jones scrambling four times, throwing the ball away three times and two plays blown dead as sacks. Combination of QB, OL and receivers made for a rough day for the passing offense.
• Kenny Golladay's drop in the preseason opener was egregious, but more concerning is how little production he has daily in practice. He had two targets today, both on end zone fades vs. Aaron Robinson and both were incomplete.
• Adoree' Jackson had a pick today when he contested a short pass to Richie James and then corralled the tipped ball. Jackson has been stifling in coverage all camp.
• Another takeaway for Darnay Holmes, who made a sweet one-handed grab for an interception in the end zone.
• Saquon continues to look great. Broke a long run on a play where misdirection had the defense flowing to the right and Saquon burst through a hole to the left.
• Rookie Trenton Thompson was the third safety in the dime package.

I think if Thomas, Neal and Glowinski all stay healthy they can manage things. I hope.
I think Williams and Jackson may need the two players that need to stay healthy.
Maybe they catch a break but injuries will quickly derail this team again. They need more depth.
