Our daily practice report from Giants camp:
Something good
Eli Manning went 5-for-6 with a sack during the blitz period along with a few nice passes to tight end Evan Engram throughout the day, including a completion that was negated by an offsides penalty.
Something bad
Despite coming off a concussion and being suspended for the first four games of the season, WR Golden Tate is a go-to target in practice and is hard for quarterbacks to resist throwing to. Knowing that Tate, who wore a yellow non-contact jersey Sunday, won’t be available come September, the team should be looking to expand its options and begin targeting others more.
Caught my eye
Bennie Fowler had a tremendous practice, making himself an open target no matter who the quarterback was. His footwork has progressed and he’s developing a strong ability to find open space.
Keeping up with the Jones
Jones went 4-for-6 during the blitz period but had a couple of overthrows. He connected with Tate and Alonzo Russell a few times.
Medical report
CB DeAndre Baker (knee) participated in the 11-on-11 period, splitting time with Corey Ballentine. LB Alec Ogletree (calf) and CB Sam Beal (hamstring/groin) returned to practice with individual work. RB Rod Smith and CB Antonio Hamilton, who are both battling groin injuries, rode workout bikes on the sideline. LB Josiah Tauaefa wore a non-contact pinnie. S Kenny Ladler (undisclosed) did not practice and RT George Asafo-Adjei (concussion) worked out on the side.
