The New York Giants lost to the Cleveland Browns, 17-13, on Sunday.
It was a battle of the backups as neither team featured many starters. However, it was clear that both staffs were able to get a gauge of their second- and third-team players at game speed. This was a necessary look for Joe Judge and his staff before cuts on Tuesday.
With this loss, the Giants now stand at 0-2 in the 2021 NFL preseason.

The #Giants got Cam Brown in the sixth round and both Tae Crowder and Carter Coughlin in the seventh last year.
All three could play sizable roles this year on defense/special teams.

Cam Brown's role appears to be set. He's a gunner on special teams. Just made his second tackle on two punts. #Giants

The #Giants dumped a top-75 pick on Beal when no other team offered more than a conditional 4th. Injury issues coming into NFL but NYG had massive hole at CB depth wise and tried to jam one through. No patience and a bad process. One of the regimes low key worst decisions. https://t.co/nwlBY4srKI

Solid game from Lewerke! Didn’t have a lot of help from the Giants, but put them in a chance to win it.
