JUNE 2, 2015 NEW YORK GIANTS OTA PRACTICE REPORT…

The New York Giants completed their fifth of ten Organized Team Activity (OTA) practices at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center on Tuesday. The Tuesday session was not open to the media, but Giants.com did report some of the following tidbits:

• Play of the Day: “A bomb from [quarterback] Ryan Nassib to Ben Edwards during 11-on-11s. Edwards, an undrafted wide receiver from Richmond, broke free down the middle, and Nassib dropped it right into his hands in stride for the longest play of OTAs so far. Wide receiver Victor Cruz ran out to give him a high-five as he was running back to the huddle.”

• Quarterback Eli Manning threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Preston Parker in 7-on-7 drills.

• Tight end Adrien Robinson made a nice gain on a pass from Nassib. (Video)

• Cornerback/safety Josh Gordon picked off a pass from Nassib. (Video)

• Wide receiver Dwayne Harris made a few nice catches.

• Wide receiver Victor Cruz – who is recovering from a torn patellar tendon – continued to work on the sidelines, running routes and catching some passes.

WR Dwayne Harris gets into the mix on offense and makes a great catch over the middle from Ryan Nassib. #NYG
