EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Giants are so short of players in the secondary that rookie coach Ben McAdoo had to have a couple of his receivers play safety in practice.
McAdoo would not identify the guys who got shifted on Thursday nor would he say whether any of them might be used Monday night when the Giants (2-1) face the Vikings (3-0) on the road.
Who knows? Imagine Odell Backham Jr. back there! He did it in the Pro Bowl.
The truth is the Giants need some bodies in the secondary, and it’s not just safety.
