About New York
- The Giants converted just 2 of 13 third down attempts in their preseason week one loss the the Lions.
- Tyrod Taylor started last week’s game in Detroit before ceding the reigns to Tommy DeVito, who took a majority of the snaps under center. This left Daniel Jones watching the entire game from the sideline.
- Taylor went 3-4 for seven yards and Tommy DeVito finished 15-24 for 155 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
- Right tackle Evan Neal suffered a concussion in practice earlier this month, which sidelined him until he returned to practice today and participated in team drills.Â
- Deonte Banks (first round) and Tre Hawkins (sixth round) have both played well over the first few weeks of training camp, which has opened the possibility of starting both rookies on the outside and moving Adoree’ Jackson into the slot.
