There were 13 positive COVID-19 tests within the Giants organization Tuesday. Running backs coach Burton Burns was the only one who tested positive on the re-test. Thus, players, Tier 1, and Tier 2 personnel were required to re-test Wednesday.
One of the players that initially tested positive for the virus was running back Saquon Barkley. Although he’s vaccinated, Barkley has been placed in the COVID-19 protocol and wasn’t able to practice Wednesday.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, safety Xavier McKinney and offensive guard Matt Skura were also in the protocol Wednesday.
