The Giants were able to exhale Monday when they learned rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker did not sustain a serious injury to his left knee and might not miss substantial time.
Baker was diagnosed with a sprained knee. The diagnosis was confirmed Monday morning by team physician Dr. Scott Rodeo after he examined Baker and checked out the results of an MRI exam at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
The Giants say Baker is day-to-day.
Baker sustained the injury while warming up on Sunday. He watched the second half of Monday’s practice from the side and was not wearing a brace on his knee.
