Patrick Graham was asked late last week if Isaac Yiadom, the cornerback the Giants acquired in a trade with the Broncos at the end of training camp but who has been able to participate in just four on-field practices with the team, would be ready to play heading into Monday’s regular-season opener against the Steelers.

"If you’re long, you’re fast and you get your hands on the receivers," the defensive coordinator said, raising his own hand, "then I vote yes."

That doesn’t mean Yiadom will play a significant role in the game.
