JUNE 4, 2015 NEW YORK GIANTS OTA PRACTICE REPORT…

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

  • WR Rueben Randle made a nice leaping catch from QB Eli Manning in 11-on-11 drills.
  • Manning threw two touchdown passes, one to TE Adrien Robinson and the other to WR Preston Parker (video).
  • QB Ryan Nassib threw a touchdown pass to WR Dwayne Harris.
  • WR Geremy Davis was held just short of the end zone on the final play of practice on a pass from Manning.
  • CB Prince Amukamara broke up a fade pass to Randle in the end zone.
  • CB Trumaine McBride broke up a throw to Parker.
  • CB Chandler Fenner also broke up a pass.
  • S Landon Collins broke up a pass to TE Jerome Cunningham in the end zone.
  • Wideouts Dwayne Harris, Rueben Randle, Preston Parker, and Ben Edwards worked on punt returns.

Phase Three (Weeks 6-9) of the New York Giants voluntary nine-week offseason program started last week. During Phase Three of offseason programs, NFL teams may conduct a total of 10 days of OTAs. No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.

The final four OTA practices will be held June 8-9 and June 11-12. The Giants will hold a mandatory, full-team mini-camp on June 16-18.

Jerry Reese Says Giants Still Looking for Offensive Line Help: New York Giants General Manager Jerry Reese told NJ.com on Wednesday that the team is still looking for offensive line help in the wake of left tackle Will Beatty’s torn pectoral muscle injury. Beatty is expected to miss 5-6 months.

“We’ll continue to look around,” said Reese. “Obviously, everybody has around 90 men on their roster right now, so there’ll be some cuts; there will be some chances to add some offensive linemen.”

Unrestricted free agent OT Jake Long, who is coming off back-to-back ACL tears to his right knee and was released by the St. Louis Rams earlier this offseason, visited the Giants last week.

“He’s a veteran, he’s played a lot of football, and so we brought him in, gave him a physical to see where he was,” Reese said. “We’ll keep an eye on him.”
