The New York Giants were back on the practice field for a walkthrough on Wednesday as they prepare for a key NFC East battle with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10 — a game that could go a long way in determining the division winner.
Before they hit the field, the Giants officially designated rookie linebacker Tae Crowder (hamstring) to return from injured reserve.
Although it’s no guarantee that Crowder is activated by Saturday’s deadline and plays against Philly, he was back on the field with his teammates which began his 21-day window.
Meanwhile, defensive lineman Leonard Williams and defensive back Logan Ryan were not at practice on Wednesday. Both were excused for personal matters.
Finally, tight end Kaden Smith (concussion) was participating in the walkthrough after exiting a Week 9 game against the Washington Football Team, but only on a limited basis.
Ditto wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who traded a shoulder injury for a hip injury, and running back Devonta Freeman, who is recovering from an ankle sprain.
Did not participate: DT Leonard Williams (not injury related), DB Logan Ryan (not injury related)
Limited participant: RB Devonta Freeman (ankle), WR Sterling Shepard (toe/hip)
Full participant: N/A
