“You don’t miss anything until it’s gone”

New Giants running back Buck Allen is obviously glad to be back in the NFL.

“It’s a blessing, we have great talented guys here,” Allen said. “You don’t miss anything until it’s gone, and I missed it. It’s a blessing to be on this team, I am here to do whatever they need me to do. If that’s running, catching, hitting, whatever it is, I’m here to do it.”

Buck in the Big Apple!

“We’re glad he’s here,” Shurmur said. “He was available, we worked him out and we’ll get him going as quickly as possible.”

The Giants announced Monday that Jon Hilliman, whom Allen replaced on the 53-man roster, has re-joined the team’s practice squad.

Jabrill Peppers on “unique” Kyler Murray

Giants safety Jabrill Peppers said Monday that Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray “absolutely” has speed that is unique to the position.

“I also think he has great footwork. I think his arm, we have to talk about his arm. He was going to be an MLB pitcher,” Peppers said. “He’s definitely surprised me the more I’ve watched the tape in depth. I see the growth there from college, he still has all of the athleticism, but he tries to be a pocket passer when he can, let the routes develop downfield.”
