In a season when nothing seems normal, even the time off is affected.

The Giants will get a taste of that this coming week as they have their bye following Sunday’s game against the Eagles. It’s normally a time for players to step away from the game, recharge their batteries and reconnect with family.

This year, though, it will mean sticking around and continuing to undergo daily COVID-19 tests at the facility.
