The New York Giants are getting ready for their joint practice with the Jets in Florham Park on Wednesday after their session at their own facility on Tuesday.
Head coach Brian Daboll provided an update on the extensive list of injured players prior to Tuesday’s practice.

According to Leonard, rookie running back Dante Miller has returned to practice but will have limited involvement, while defensive back David Long Jr. remains sidelined.
Quarterback Drew Lock (hip) and rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. also participated in practice for the first time since their injuries.
“He’s good,” Coach Daboll said of Tracy.
The main concerns are the players who are week-to-week: Micah McFadden, Matthew Adams, Gunner Olszewski, and Lawrence Cager. McFadden is a starter, but the others may not make the 53-man roster by next Tuesday’s deadline for cuts.
The other players are being cautious by being held out or limited in practice.
Many of them are being managed carefully to prevent further injury and are expected to be ready for the Giants’ regular season opener against Minnesota on September 8.
