Flex appeal

The Giants lost a day of practice on Thursday with Jason Garrett’s positive COVID-19 test forcing a cancellation. Because Sunday’s game has been flexed into the Sunday night slot, though, the Giants gain the ability to do more on Saturday, and even Sunday morning. And they will use it.

“Saturday morning, we’ll make sure we come in, we’ll be on the field for a walkthrough for about an hour. We’ll kind of treat this the same way we would like the Philly game on Thursday night. Where we had walkthroughs throughout the week for about an hour at a time on the grass,” coach Joe Judge said. “What we’ll be able to do is come in Saturday night at the hotel, review a little bit of tape. Have some night before meetings. On Sunday morning, because you have the extra time, we can do what we call the hotel walkthrough. That’s offense walking through the play sheet. Defense walking through some adjustments, talking through some variables that may come up in the game. This game being flexed really gave us some extra time to really build in.”
