Unsettled.
That was the word Pat Shurmur used earlier this week to describe the Giants’ special teams return situation. For most of the preseason the Giants have been waiting for someone to flash and grab hold of the important job that likely also will serve as the gateway to the final wide receiver spot on the 53-man roster.
“We have guys back there working,” Shurmur said. “We’ll just play it out through the preseason and see where it goes.”
On Friday night, Hunter Sharp looked to settle things.
The third-year receiver in his first stint with the Giants provided the team’s most exciting play of the first half – and its only touchdown – when he returned a punt 55 yards for a score late in the first quarter.
