Players report Thursday and the Giants take the field Friday for their first training camp practice of the summer. Of the 90 players assembled, nearly 40 percent will not make the final cut. For the next five weeks, the Giants will evaluate the talent on hand and determine who stays and who goes.

This year, the Giants have a fairly stable roster — 18 of the 22 starters in 2016 will likely fill the same role this time around. Still, there are enough jobs up for grabs to make this camp interesting.

Heading into camp, here’s a projection of the Giants’ 53-man roster:

Eli Manning, Geno Smith, Davis Webb

There are two factors to consider here: Does Smith beat out Josh Johnson for the backup job? Johnson knows the system, which should give him an advantage, and Smith is coming off knee surgery. The former Jets starter, though, is more talented and the front office and coaching staff is intrigued by him. Also, can the rookie Davis — uber-impressive in the spring — show enough to vault over Smith and Johnson and allow the Giants to keep just two quarterbacks?

Paul Perkins, Shane Vereen, Orleans Darkwa, Wayne Gallman, Shane Smith

This is not exactly a big-name group. Perkins was already named the starter by Ben McAdoo — quite a statement of confidence in a second-year player. Vereen is a gifted pass-catcher but needs to prove he is healthy and can be viewed as durable — the same goes for Darkwa, who makes it ahead of Shaun Draughn. McAdoo went without a fullback last season and it ended up being a bad move; Smith is a 244-pound undrafted rookie who looks the part.

Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard, Tavarres King, Dwayne Harris

Quite a Big Three the Giants have assembled here. Harris is not much of a pass-catching threat, but he’s a top return man and gunner, so he makes the cut. King beats out Roger Lewis.

Rhett Ellison, Evan Engram, Jerell Adams, Matt LaCosse

There’s something for everyone here. Ellison is the experienced blocker; Engram is the rookie pass-catcher and matchup nightmare; Adams is a big-bodied target. LaCosse had a great spring and at 261 pounds can be a complementary blocker, but he must stay away from the injuries that cost him dearly the past two years. Looks like it is goodbye, Will Tye.

Ereck Flowers, Justin Pugh, Weston Richburg, John Jerry, Bobby Hart, D.J. Fluker, Adam Bisnowaty, Adam Gettis, Chad Wheeler

Believe it or not, the same five starters from 2016 are back again, in their same spots. Perhaps Fluker can challenge Jerry at right guard or Hart at right tackle. Wheeler, undrafted out of USC, gets a uniform. Undrafted rookie Jessamen Dunker might challenge for a job at guard. There is not much heavy competition here.

Jason Pierre-Paul, Damon Harrison, Jay Bromley, Olivier Vernon, Romeo Okwara, Dalvin Tomlinson, Avery Moss, Devin Taylor, Corbin Bryant

Tomlinson (who might start) and Moss make it as rookies, veteran Taylor makes it at the expense of Owa Odighizuwa, Bryant makes it ahead of Robert Thomas.

Jonathan Casillas, B.J. Goodson, Devon Kennard, Keenan Robinson, Mark Herzlich, Deontae Skinner.

The Giants did not bring in any prospects, meaning Herzlich returns for his seventh season — perhaps playing a bit at tight end in addition to his special-teams assignments.

Janoris Jenkins, Eli Apple, Landon Collins, Darian Thompson, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Nat Berhe, Andrew Adams, Michael Hunter, Valentino Blake

Deep and talented group here, with a plethora of capable safeties, especially if Berhe can finally stay healthy. Depth at cornerback is a concern. Pint-sized Donte Deayon has a big heart and a shot to hang on. The coaching staff likes Mykkele Thompson’s size, and he is trying his hand at corner but two years of injuries may have taken a toll.

Aldrick Rosas

The rookie from Southern Oregon is the only place-kicker in camp; can he stave off the need to sign a veteran?

Brad Wing

Ben McAdoo calls him a weapon.

Zak DeOssie

Stalwart special-teamer is entering his 11th season and at 33 remains one of the best snappers in the league when it comes to getting down the field to contribute in coverage.
