The Giants’ five-man starting offensive line made it intact through training camp and the entire preseason, but there was a starter on the sideline during the first day of heavy preparation for the Cowboys.
Mike Remmers, the starting right tackle, did not practice Wednesday, and he was listed on the injury report as not participating because of illness and an issue with his back.
Remmers, 30, had back surgery this offseason, which makes this situation worth watching. He held up through the summer, and there are indications the Giants do not believe this is a worrisome situation.
