The New York Giants returned to practice in East Rutherford on Wednesday as they prepare for a Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers — a team that has struggled to cover opposing tight ends.
Given the Packers’ struggles against tight ends, the Giants are hopeful to have back both Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion), but things did not get off to a great start in that realm.
Both Engram and Ellison were non-participants in the portion of practice open to the media and appeared resigned to the sidelines.
In addition to the two tight ends, safety Jabrill Peppers (back) and wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) were not spotted at practice.
Linebacker Deone Bucannon (ankle) was on the field giving it a go, as was linebacker Kareem Martin (knee), who was designated to return from injured reserve and had his three-week clock officially started.
The Giants’ full practice report can be found below:
Full participant: WR Golden Tate, TE Rhett Ellison, TE Evan Engram, SS Jabrill Peppers
Limited participant: N/A
Non-participant: N/A
