New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton spent a good portion of Monday’s two-and-a-half-hour practice inside working with trainers. And even when he did emerge, he did not join his teammates on the field.
“Trainers are kinda dealing with [it],” head coach Joe Judge said, adding that when there’s more information, the team will release it.
In addition to Slayton, linebacker Ryan Connelly, who suffered a torn ACL last season, also missed practice. He has now missed several in a row.
Connelly was joined by fullback Eli Penny, who spent Monday’s practice on the side working with trainers after also missing Sunday’s walkthrough.
Meanwhile, center Spencer Pulley, guard Shane Lemieux and safety Jabrill Peppers all left practice according to media reports, but Judge seemed to imply they were cramp-related issues and not something more serious.
Tight end Rysen John also left practice after going down and grabbing his left thigh following a 1-on-1 drill against safety Montre Hartage, but he later returned.
Finally, cornerback Prince Smith returned to practice after sitting out on Sunday.
