Veteran Giants receiver Darius Slayton seeks a contract adjustment, while tight end Darren Waller considers retirement. Tight end Daniel Bellinger and other players were notable absences in practice. Several players worked on the side with trainers, including projected starting right tackle Evan Neal. Left tackle Andrew Thomas practiced but did not participate in team reps.
On the practice field, Josh Ezeudu had a tough time as the first-team left tackle. Brian Burns provided pressure on quarterback Drew Lock, who delivered a touchdown to Malik Nabers. The Giants are set to hold joint practices with the Detroit Lions and potentially with the New York Jets soon.
