1. Giants broke camp with “recovery cycle” at QDTC.
The New York Giants broke camp on Thursday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center with what coach Tom Coughlin called a “unique” day of recovery, part of an experimental approach to game week. Players chose two of six possible elements: yoga, contrast bath (hot-cold tub), massage, self-massage stick rollers/bands, functional movement screen (FMS) exercise and air compression boots.
“A little different week for us,” Coughlin said. “This is what I call the GPS week. We’re following that to a ‘T.’ We’ve had two hard practices, followed by basically meetings, walk-throughs and a recovery cycle.
