Rookies reported to camp on Tuesday, and it was announced that Theo Johnson would start the season on the PUP list. Art Stapleton reported via Twitter that the Giants placed TE Theo Johnson on the active/PUP list, meaning his injury occurred on site rather than being a pre-existing condition. According to sources, Johnson is dealing with a hip flexor, which typically requires one to three weeks of rest and treatment for mild conditions, though more severe cases can take up to six weeks or longer. There's no word on how he became injured, but it's an injury affecting the muscles where the thigh meets the hip.
In more positive news, Daniel Jones will not start camp on the PUP list. Ian Rappaport of NFL Media reported that Jones is not expected to begin training camp on the PUP list, indicating a positive progression in his ACL rehab.
Darius Slayton recently defended Daniel Jones against Patrick Peterson’s criticism. Peterson had said, "I had an opportunity to play against Daniel Jones a couple of times — ain’t nothing impressive about him to a defense... He’s shown an inability to read defenses quickly, to get the ball out quickly, and I just think he has a problem dissecting the 11 guys on defense." In response, Slayton pointed out on "All Facts No Brakes" with Keyshawn Johnson that Jones had strong performances against Peterson's Vikings, questioning the validity of Peterson's comments given the Giants' offensive success in those games.
Giants GM Joe Schoen revealed on the Hard Knocks Podcast that mock drafts do influence some of their decisions. He mentioned that they evaluate the accuracy of various mock drafts over the years, paying more attention to those with a proven track record.
Saquon Barkley and his agent, Ed Berry, were aware that their phone conversations with Joe Schoen might be used in "Hard Knocks." Other executives, such as Panthers’ Dan Morgan and Patriots’ Eliot Wolf, were also alerted to this possibility.
Interestingly, the Giants reportedly used Beyoncé’s music in their office to see if copyright issues would force HBO to edit out footage for "Hard Knocks." This playful tactic came to light during the Giants 100 event at MSG.
Andrew Thomas was named to PFF’s Top 50 NFL Players, ranked at 29. PFF highlighted that his injury last season was a significant loss for the Giants, but with a return to health and better teammates on the line, Thomas is well worthy of this ranking.
Two former Giants, Phil Simms and Ron Johnson, are set to be inducted into the NJ Hall of Fame. Simms, originally from Kentucky, has lived in NJ since 1979. Johnson, the first Giants RB to rush for over 1,000 yards, lived in NJ from 1970 until his death in 2018. The induction ceremony will air on Fox 5 on Nov 13, featuring other notable inductees like Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, and Tim Howard.
