AUGUST 16, 2018 NEW YORK GIANTS PRACTICE REPORT…
While the last official training camp practice for the New York Giants was held on August 7th. The team held its last joint public practice with the Detroit Lions on Thursday. Moving forward, all practices will be closed to the public. There was little to report from today’s practice as it was a light walk-thru session in advance of Friday’s game against the Lions.

“Good situational work today,” said Head Coach Pat Shurmur after practice. “We got some special teams, we actually shortened what we planned to train a little bit, but we got through some good situational work really to cap off what I think was a really, really good week. Very competitive. As I mentioned all week, it’s always good to go against another team and now we’ll try to get their legs back, get them ready to go and get after it tomorrow night.”

INJURY REPORT…
Not practicing on Thursday due to injury were wide running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring), receiver Travis Rudolph (quad), tight end Ryan O’Malley (ankle), defensive end R.J. McIntosh (unknown – Active/Non-Football Illness list), linebacker Connor Barwin (“soreness”), linebacker Thurston Armbrister (hamstring), cornerback Donte Deayon (hamstring), and safety Darian Thompson (hamstring).
