Live updates from Giants practice: Friday, Aug. 27

After two days of grueling joint practices with the New England Patriots in the sweltering 90 degree heat in Foxborough, Mass., the New York Giants return to East Rutherford, N.J. on Friday.

The Giants will hold a brief practice from 11:15 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at MetLife Stadium. That will most likely be a walk-thru as the Giants recover from two padded, competitive practices with the Patriots.

Head coach Joe Judge will be available to media before practice. Select players will be available after practice.

The Giants will be off Saturday before concluding their preseason with a 6 p.m. game Sunday vs. the Patriots.

Roster cuts the regular-season limit of 53 players loom after the game. Teams have to reach the limit by 4 p.m. on Tuesday. After trading placekicker Ryan Santoso to the Carolina Panthers, the Giants currently have 79 players.

Here is our latest roster projection. A final one will come on Monday.
