Giants Missing Two Starting Linemen At Practice
New York Giants starting offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) and starting guard Matt Skura (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday.

Saquon Barkley Doesn't Practice Wednesday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) wasn't at practice on Wednesday, which shouldn't come as a surprise.

Snap counts are not the be-all-end-all for fantasy production but they paint a clear picture with the necessary context. Every snap is an opportunity for a player to make his presence felt and if their snaps go up or down, you get an idea of what the team thinks of their skill set. A running […]
Daniel Jones Won't Practice Wednesday
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) won't practice or be on the field on Wednesday, but head coach Joe Judge said that he is "on track with everything."
