With the Giants losing all their veteran safeties and missing their free-agent targets, the position was going to be in a state of flux this season anyway. The movements already have begun, with Big Blue using their third different combination just four days into training camp — and for the first time, Landon Collins wasn’t part of that combo.
Bennett Jackson and Mykkele Thompson worked with the first team on Monday, the former a converted cornerback just learning the position and the latter a rookie fifth-round pick. Before that, Collins, Cooper Taylor and Nat Berhe had all gotten starter reps, and the Giants plan to rotate until they find a mix that works.
