The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday and expectations were that the injury list would be sizable. Almost painfully populated, in fact.
It was.
But there was one interesting development. While head coach Joe Judge held his daily press conference and stated Daniel Jones remains in concussion protocol, Jones took the field in pads and was seen tossing the ball around.
Some lines were crossed somewhere, and Judge did not appear happy.
Joe Judge’s priceless reaction, after saying QB Daniel Jones (concussion) couldn’t participate in practice, only to be told by a reporter Jones had just taken the field in full pads. 👇

Joe Judge just said Daniel Jones is only allowed to observe today.

Meanwhile, Judge also said that wide receiver Kenny Golladay and running back Saquon Barkley would not practice. The good news is that wide receiver Kadarius Toney did participate.
Finally, linebacker Cam Brown was designated to return to practice.
The Giants’ full Wednesday injury report can be found below (projected due to practice being a walkthrough):
