The Giants cancelled Friday’s scheduled full practice, holding only a morning walkthrough instead, and pushed all other player responsibilities virtual amid a league-wide surge of COVID-19 that has hit their building.
The team changed the schedule last-minute “out of an abundance of caution,” a spokesman said.
Originally the Giants had 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. practice scheduled that would be open to the media. Instead they held an early morning walkthrough with no media present.
All availability has been pushed virtual.
It isn’t clear yet how many more positive tests the Giants received Friday morning to prompt this change. They went to sleep Thursday night with seven players on the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list, including six positive tests.
