The Giants practiced in pads on Saturday. That meant it was the first time Giants’ offensive and defensive linemen got to do what they are paid to do — hit people. They were happy about it.
“It felt good to be back out there,” said center Jon Halapio, in pads for the first since since breaking his ankle in Weeek 2 of the 2018 season. “You go almost a whole year without pads, so it definitely was different. But yeah, man, it was fun getting back into it. I was absolutely looking forward to it. You can’t really get used to hitting until you get to this point in training camp.
