The Giants’ current controversy magnet had a Week 1 that managed to echo two others who previously played the role.
Kadarius Toney had two rushes for 23 yards in Sunday’s exhilarating 21-20 win over the Titans. He busted a 19-yard run on an outside sweep, then dipped and dodged to turn an aborted gadget play into an entertaining 4-yard gain. Shades of the tantalizing playmaking ability Odell Beckham Jr. once displayed on a regular basis.
But Toney also left the field promptly after both touches. And he only played seven snaps in the game while Richie James played 42, David Sills had 27 and Wan’Dale Robinson left with a knee injury early.
