Big Blue View • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Giants held a light, two-hour and 15-minute walk-through practice on Thursday following three days of padded practices, with little notable action.
- An unusual incident occurred when cornerback Nic Jones and wide receiver Xavier Gipson squared off at the end of practice, witnessed by some reporters but unexplained.
- Cornerback Dru Phillips was the only player held out of practice, while others like Brian Burns, Malachi Fields, Beau Brade, and Malik Nabers participated fully.
- The Giants signed undrafted rookie free agent Grant Finley, a fullback/defensive tackle, adding depth to the fullback position previously held by six-time Pro Bowler Patrick Ricard.
- Fans attending the practice were largely disappointed due to the slow pace and lack of significant on-field action during the walk-through.
