The New York Giants opened their 2025 training camp on Tuesday. As is the case at the start of every training camp, players who are rehabbing from injury and expected to return are given preseason designations.
The Giants announced that left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) and running back Eric Gray (knee) will start camp on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list, and linebacker Victor Dimukeje was placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list.
The PUP list permits teams to “manage players with football-related injuries during training camp and the preseason.” Players on the active/PUP list count against the 90-man training camp roster during preseason games and can be activated at any point before final cuts after being medically cleared.
Players who are still on PUP after the roster cutdown date of August 26 must sit out the Giants’ first four regular-season games.
Dimukeje suffered a torn pec during offseason workouts. Like a player placed on PUP, he can be activated at any time during camp. If he begins the season on the NFI list, he must sit out the first six games of the regular season.
The team also announced that defensive back Anthony Johnson Jr. was waived/injured. His roster spot was filled by the signing of free agent safety K’Von Wallace.
