The New York Giants have finalized most of their practice squad, bringing back familiar faces from training camp.

There’s one new addition to the mix—linebacker Ty Summers. Summers, who was recently cut by the Detroit Lions, brings a wealth of experience to the Giants’ practice squad, having played in 67 regular-season games with teams like the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonville Jaguars.

• Isaiah Hodgins
• Miles Boykin
• Ty Summers
• Lawrence Cager
• Jakob Johnson
• Joshua Miles
• Marcellus Johnson
• Tomon Fox
• K.J. Cloyd
• Dante Miller
• Casey Rogers
• Raheem Layne
• Alex Johnson
• Jimmy Morrissey
• Jude McAtamney

With two practice squad spots still open, the Giants have room to make additional moves. Safety Gervarrius Owens, recently waived, is a strong candidate to fill one of those vacancies.

The post New York Giants Practice Squad Breakdown first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

The New York Giants opened their 2024 preseason with a 14-3 victory over the Detroit Lions, last season’s NFC runner-up, on a rainy Thursday night at MetLife Stadium. Despite the challenging weather, the game offered plenty for Giants fans to feel hopeful and provided some highlights.

Both teams rested the majority of their starters, which led to a low-scoring affair. However, the Giants’ new running back committee and young secondary provided encouraging performances.

Game Highlights:

Running Game: The Giants, utilizing their new running back committee, rushed for an impressive 155 yards, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Eric Gray was the standout, running four times for 52 yards and scoring both of the Giants’ touchdowns. He also caught all four passes thrown his way for an additional 46 yards. Dante Miller, another running back, showed off his speed with 63 yards on 12 carries.

Defense: The Giants’ defense was stout, holding the Lions to just 110 passing yards and six first downs. The young secondary, in particular, impressed by limiting Detroit’s longest reception to 26 yards, which came late in the game. The Giants also excelled in crucial situations, holding the Lions on all four fourth-down attempts and preventing them from scoring in the red zone (0-3) and goal-to-go situations (0-2).

Defensive Standouts: Dyontae Johnson had an active night before leaving with a bruised ankle in the third quarter. He recorded four tackles, including two for a loss and a sack. Defensive end Boogie Basham contributed with four tackles, a sack, and two passes defensed, showcasing his versatility on the line.

Quarterback Play: Tommy DeVito took over at quarterback after Drew Lock exited with a hip injury late in the first quarter. DeVito managed two scoring drives and played nearly error-free football, demonstrating poise in his preseason debut for 2024.

Injuries:

• Drew Lock left the game after injuring his hip, completing 4-of-10 passes for 17 yards and an interception. General Manager Joe Schoen later assured fans that Lock was fine and could have returned if necessary.
• Defensive lineman Ryder Anderson left in the second half to get X-rays on his hand/wrist after being evaluated on the sideline.
• Dyontae Johnson, after bruising his ankle, was briefly sidelined but returned to the field after receiving treatment.

This preseason opener was a positive step for the Giants, particularly in evaluating the depth of their roster. As the preseason continues, the performances of players like Eric Gray, Tommy DeVito, and Tre Hawkins will be crucial in shaping the team’s lineup for the regular season. Fans can look forward to seeing how these young players build on this strong start

Miller’s standout performance in camp is catching the attention of both coaches and fans. Known for his speed and agility, Miller is making a strong case for a significant role in the upcoming season.

His ability to connect with multiple quarterbacks and make big plays suggests he could be a valuable asset to the Giants’ offense.

The post Dante Miller Shines in Giants Training Camp first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

Devin Singletary

Devin Singletary’s signing might have flown under the radar, but it was a smart move. He thrived under Daboll in Buffalo and proved his versatility by performing well in Houston last season.

As the veteran, Singletary will get the early touches out of the backfield and aim to stabilize the Giants’ running back room in Barkley’s absence.

Eric Gray

Eric Gray had a tough rookie season, largely due to struggles on special teams, but the Giants haven’t given up on him. He’s still a key part of their plans.

The question now is what role Gray will play in the offense. As of now we have him penciled into as a RB2.

Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Tracy started his college career at Iowa, playing wide receiver for four seasons before transferring to Purdue. At Purdue, he switched to running back and had a strong 2023 season.

Many experts believe he’ll succeed at the NFL level. He may be a pleasant surprise for fellow Giants fans

Jashaun Corbin

Corbin, who went undrafted, spent the 2022 season on the Giants’ practice squad. The following year he was cut by the Giants at the end of the preseason and joined the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice squad.

With injuries mounting to the running back position Corbin made a return to Big Blue.

Corbin appeared in 6 games for the Giants last season. He had just one rushing attempt for a single yard, and caught three passes for 12 yards.

He’s going to have an another tough time cracking the final 53, but he does have familiarity on his side knowing the offense from prior years.

Dante Miller

Dante Miller, who started his college career at Columbia in the Ivy League, before transferring to South Carolina.

At South Carolina’s recent pro day, Turbo showcased his nickname by running a 4.27-second 40-yard dash and completing 28 reps on the 225-pound bench press..

The Giants are thin at running back , it wouldn’t surprise me to see him on the squad.

Final thoughts.

Overall, the New York Giants’ running back situation is thin, and they will likely need to add veteran presence to this group.
