Rookie Report: how the rookies played against the Detroit Lions

The New York Giants had to play without Saquon Barkley in their preseason game against the Detroit Lions, but the other rookies on the roster got a chance to make an impact. Just about every rookie got more playing time than they did in Week 1 regardless of where they stand on the roster.

Let’s take a look at how they did Friday night in Detroit.

26 offensive snaps (44 percent)

Hernandez and the starting offensive line got a lot more run in the second preseason game. While some parts of the line had their struggles against the Lions, Hernandez had a much better showing than in his debut against the Browns.
