The New York Giants’ injury report for Wednesday is a ridiculous 10 players deep not counting all the players already placed on IR, but there is a bit of good news in it.
Defensive end Olivier Vernon, who hasn’t played since Week 4 due to an ankle injury, was reportedly a limited participant in practice. Offensive lineman Justin Pugh, who has been experiencing back issues for several weeks and sat out last week against the Los Angeles Rams, was also a limited participant.
A look at the list of players who did not practice tells you why the Giants on Tuesday re-signed Kelvin Sheppard, last season’s starting middle linebacker.
