Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie hit the practice field, receiving a hug from cornerbacks coach Tim Walton and a handshake from general manager Jerry Reese. With that, DRC’s suspension came to an end as the Giants went back to work on Wednesday, for the first time this season after a victory.
The return of one cornerback came on a day another one, Eli Apple, was not on the field. Apple is not listed on this week’s injury report, and the Giants initially did not give a reason for Apple’s absence. The Giants announced Apple, who was benched for the start of the Chargers game two weeks ago, was excused from practice for personal reasons.
