The Giants, of course, are entering their preseason. Their first preseason game is Thursday at MetLife Stadium vs. the New York Jets. The Giants will be the home team, with kickoff scheduled at 7 p.m.
Keep it here for updates throughout the day.
Updates
Two things are pretty clear watching the Giants offense:

1. Eli Manning doesn’t care that WR Sterling Shepard is wearing a yellow jersey. He’s going to throw to him anyway.
2. Shepard can still catch, fractured thumb and all.
B.J. Hill excused from practice today for the birth of his child.

Eli Manning just thru a fastball to Sterling Shepard that went thru his hands. Shepard came away flexing his left hand, the one w the fractured thumb. Shortly after a staffer gave him his yellow jersey.

A good story comes to an end.
The Giants have cut Austin Droogsma, per source. Droogsma was a major long shot as a former shot-putter who didn’t play college football. They signed OL Malcolm Bunche, per source. Bunche was with them last offseason and cut at the end of the preseason.

Some good news on the injury front.
Looks like Darius Slayton is in full pads and going through individual drills. We’ll see if he’s able to do anything more or winds up doing side work again. #Giants
