Eli Apple’s pain could soon be Leon Hall’s gain in the Giants’ secondary.
Apple, Big Blue’s first-round pick, is sidelined indefinitely by what coach Ben McAdoo described Sunday as a slight muscle strain suffered in Friday night’s 27-10 preseason loss to the Dolphins.
Apple, who had been having a good camp, will be re-evaluated during the week, and his availability this Saturday against the Bills is in question.
McAdoo said that will create an opening at cornerback for Hall, the veteran ex-Bengals cornerback signed by the Giants this month and who slowly has been working his way into shape.
