The NY Giants avoided a disastrous situation as the team had a minor COVID-19 crisis as several linemen were quarantined and away from the facility. The team fielded only four offensive linemen in practice Thursday but had a full group back today.

The NY Giants returned their full offensive line Friday after Will Hernandez’ positive test for COVID-19.

The NY Giants returned to a normal practice Friday after an unusual Thursday. All players present at Thursday’s practice played with masks under their helmets and several noticeable people were missing.
