Our daily practice report from Giants training camp:
Good
Recent wide-receiver additions T.J. Jones and Amba Etta-Tawo look to be integrating into the team nicely. Etta-Tawo was catching low passes from Kyle Lauletta and flashing signs of good hands. Jones showed dominant capabilities down the sidelines on several big plays.
Bad
Offensive tackle Chad Wheeler is a 6-foot-7, 300-pound bulk of physicality. He’s aggressive and uses his strength to his ability, but almost too much. On several plays, Wheeler resorted to illegal-hand placement and excessive force that would without a doubt draw a flag in a game.
Caught my eye
Evan Engram was a quarterback’s dream Tuesday. It didn’t matter if he was receiving passes from Daniel Jones or Eli Manning, he got wide open on several plays.
Keeping up with Jones
As hard as it is not to put emphasis on the quarterback, a lot of the uglier plays for Jones weren’t entirely his fault. Corey Ballentine’s interception was a tremendous pick in the end zone with impressive positioning. Jones also threw another ball that should have been intercepted by Ryan Connelly.
Medical report
Sterling Shepard continued to practice on a limited basis despite his broken thumb. CB Sam Beal (hamstring/groin) is expected to be fully integrated back into practice Wednesday after participating in some individual work Tuesday. WR Darius Slayton is still out with a hamstring injury, as are fellow receivers Brittan Golden (groin) and Alex Wesley (PUP).
