The New York Giants took the field on Wednesday for their first of three practices ahead of a Week 9 game against the San Francisco 49ers at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll updated the status of several injured players, including offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor and cornerback Cor’Dale Flott, both of whom missed practice.
“Jermaine’s got a pec,” Daboll said of Eluemunor. “I don’t think it’s long-term. But it’s not good enough to practice today. . . He’s got a sore pec.”
In positive injury-related news, rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) is already back at team facilities and will not require any additional surgeries. His rehab has begun, and expectations are that he’ll be ready for a return next July.
“Just the one that he had,” Daboll said of Skattebo’s sugreries. “He’s been in, I’ve seen him wheeling around.”
Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt was also absent on Wednesday, but it was excused, Daboll said. The third-year receiver was having dental work done and will return on Thursday.
“Hyatt will be back out tomorrow; he had wisdom teeth taken out,” Daboll said.
Finally, the Giants also designated cornerback Rico Payton, who was signed in late August, to return from injured reserve (IR). He has 21 days to be activated.
