Pat Shurmur said he is “not concerned” about starting right tackle Mike Remmers, who missed practice on Wednesday and was listed as limited on Thursday.
“You saw on the injury report that it was illness-slash-back,” Shurmur said of the reason given for Remmers’ absence on Wednesday. On Thursday he said it was “mostly illness.”
It’s still worth watching, though, with Remmers coming off back surgery. The Giants may have to monitor the 30-year-old’s reps in practices throughout the season to keep him physically ready to play in games.
