Here's hoping he returns to form and can be part of the solution moving forward. NYG will need him and his energy to give the OL a boost, if he's a full go in the near future.

Agreed. At the very least it gives us room an ability if one of the G's goes down, Jon Fel. can move to G and Gates could move back in at Center.
Lemieux comes back as RG and Feliciano moves to LG, thats a substantial improvement to the line
I wouldn't be surprised if we do not see SL at all this year. The longer it takes the less likely he would be able to contribute in a meaningful way. Besides, I would rather get JE more playing time as he will be needed for next season.
of playing this season. I hope the Giants' orthos and medical team know what they are doing. After his Seubert-like injury and willing himself to recover/rehab, I would hate for it to go south on him. Just so impressed by his resolve.
Also Shane Lemiueux is approaching the end of 6-8 week recovery
OC and LG are the issues, along with some growing pains from Neal.
Seems clear that Ezeudu flopped in his early audition. Hopefully, it is more the mental adjustment and recognition of assignments than not being able to cope with the speed and strength of the game. Certainly the latter is in play but hopefully not the gating issue.
I think it was posted not too long ago that NG's goal was to get on the field before the end of the season. Hopefully BD and Gates also speak to the plan.
I was really hoping SL would be back.
If Gates and Lemiux can come back we might be able to maul
Wonderful as it is to have him back, it remains to be seen if he's ready to contribute at a high level. It took Rich Seubert about a year or so into his return before he was really ready play to play.
is it simply means he's back to good health and has made a great recovery.
In other words, there is zero reason to rush him back to the field and if anything, the Giants would be extra cautious with it.
The fact he's returning now means he's ready to go.
^This. His return this early is incredible. I never thought he'd play football again, let alone this year. But I do hope they take their time with him.

And he missed, what… 1 snap in 4 years in Eugene!
When you put on the Blue, there’s only one song for you:

Definitely related to mental mistakes mostly, not picking up stunts, not blocking the right man, missing backside pick ups, etc. Learning curve is real, as is the time needed in the weight room for most of these young bucks.

He'll need time but his quickness can eventually be a big asset in the run game.
Giants need to add more OL after round 2 next year. Gates and SL are practically the only two players who made some inroads playing. This has been one of the critical shortcomings of this franchise for a very long time and it has shown time and time again.
Just him being at practice sets the tone for the team.
Hard to believe Jones doesn't start because of a sprained ankle. Jones is tough and when he looks over at Gates I'm sure he thinks no way I sit this game out.
Giants will beat Packers. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This team is onto something.
I think need to be tempered. He had a gruesome injury and complicated recovery. Can't see him even being a consideration to play for at least a few weeks. But it's a testament to his attitude and determination to be back on the field in 13 months.

I don't think to play or not is Jones decision. It appeared he didn't want to come out of the game last week, but he did.

Still, terrific news.
Agree Greg. So awesome, but I would think it's unrealistic for Gates to have a meaningful contribution to our OL this year. I mean 7 surgeries is more than Seubert had fixing up his leg.
Don't want to get ahead of myself, but if we still had the BBI
The Giants were under ZERO pressure or obligation to remove him from PUP now. He could have stayed on it all year. The fact that he’s going to practice now, means he’s ready for football activity. Now, how effective he can be and whether he’s ready to contribute is a different matter. That’s what they need to find out. It’s entirely possible that he can be a MAJOR contributor for the second half. It’s also possible he needs the rear of this year to get his “sea legs” under him. Either way, he will be in the mix for C next year which is great news. One less spot to fill.
Man that would be the best line we’ve had since the Super Bowl team, it even has a higher upside.
Oh before anyone says anything about me picking Ezeudu, just know that is a ton better athlete than the average at best Glowinski. Ezeudu should be a ton better in year 2 with more repetition and working on his technique.
amazing!!!
Agreed. At the very least it gives us room an ability if one of the G's goes down, Jon Fel. can move to G and Gates could move back in at Center.
Glowinksi is firmly entrenched as the starting right guard.
I wouldn't be surprised if we do not see SL at all this year. The longer it takes the less likely he would be able to contribute in a meaningful way. Besides, I would rather get JE more playing time as he will be needed for next season.
I had that wrong, Feliciano to RG and Lemieux to LG
is what i meant

My thoughts exactly. What a boss.

Richie Seubert 2.0!!!!
I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now
We will find out much more. Be nice if he is one of the people interviewed this week and the beats ask a question about this and some other good ones.
Still, terrific news.
+1. Agreed. Never forget: 69 is eligible!

Still don't see how Feliciano would overtake Glowinski at RG, or how that would be an upgrade.
