Paul Perkins watches. That’s all he can do these days.
So every time the Giants take the practice field in training camp he stands there observing. Every time they take the field for a home game he’s on the sideline. When they were on the road for a week in Detroit earlier this month, he kept tabs as best he could through social media updates and contact with teammates.
What he’s unable to do is participate. The running back tore his left pectoral while training during the offseason, an injury that required season-ending surgery. Season-ending-before-the-season-even-began surgery.
