AUGUST 18, 2020 NEW YORK GIANTS TRAINING CAMP MEDIA PRACTICE NOTES…
Some snippets from various media and team sources:

• By all accounts, the Giants had one of their hardest hitting and most physical practices in years.
• Running backs Javon Leake and Wayne Gallman showed off some nifty moves. But Gallman, along with linebacker Cam Brown, had to run penalty laps.
• Linebacker Markus Golden’s quickness gave offensive tackle Cam Fleming some problems in 1-on-1 and 11-on-11 drills. But Fleming had a good practice overall at right tackle.
• Safety Xavier McKinney picked off a pass in the flat from quarterback Colt McCoy.
• Linebacker Devante Downs made a nice tackle on the goal line against running back Wayne Gallman.
• Left tackle Andrew Thomas had his hands full in 1-on-1 drills with defensive lineman Leonard Williams and linebackers Lorenzo Carter, Markus Golden, and Kyler Fackrell. Thomas also bounced back and did alright on other occasions.
• Defensive end R.J. McIntosh and offensive guard Shane Lemieux threw some punches at each other.
• Quarterback Daniel Jones threw a perfect back corner fade to wide receiver Sterling Shepard for a touchdown against cornerback James Bradberry. Shepard is having a good camp.
• Nick Gates looked good at center and Shane Lemieux flashed at guard.
• Left guard Will Hernandez had a strong practice.
• Linebacker Tae Crowder looked good in coverage.
• The Giants provided an excellent 27-minute overview of today’s practice, which is available on YouTube.
