EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Giants have been hit with so many injuries the past few seasons that coach Tom Coughlin is experimenting with practicing less.
Coughlin on Thursday held a recovery day for his players. They did some football-related things to get ready for Saturday’s annual preseason game against the Jets, but for the most part the soon-to-be 69-year-old coach staged a spa day.
Based on seniority, players had to do two of six recovery workouts: yoga; hot and cold baths; massage; self-massage stick rollers and bands; functional movement screen exercise; or air compression boots.
