After an exciting round of week one games, we are in week 2. In simming through the week 2 practice, the Giants still have a number of injuries. Each week we will go over the injury report and practice focus players before the game and update the depth chart at that position.
Focus Players:
HB Saquon Barkley: Barkey (93 OVR) was trained in order to get him XP to go over the 94 threshold. He not only went over that threshold, but gained some fantastic attributes at that. He has now gone to 94 speed (+1), 92 Break Tackle (+1), 93 Juke Move (+1), 90 Spin Move (+1), 82 Ball Carrier Vision (+1)
QB Daniel Jones: Daniel Jones is about 1500 XP points away from an upgrade and he needs it severely. Any upgrades at this point will be helpful but he desperately needs throw power.
DT Dexter Lawrence: Lawrence is so close to the 95 threshold and when he gets to it, he will gain another ability. Right now his third ability is unlocked so he soon will be getting two new abilities to go with Inside Stuff and El Toro.
RT Evan Neal 73 OVR – 1 week (Broken Finger)
Neal only has one more week until he will be back, he was missed in week one. In the meantime we have picked up offensive guard Pugh 75 OVR to slide into the line and shore it up a little bit. When Neal is back he will actually be sliding into guard with Norwell taking over at right tackle.
CB Aaron Robinson 71 OVR – 3 weeks IR (Knee Cartilage Tear)
We can’t wait for the return of Robinson to shore up the back end of the defense. Hawkins started for Robinson, however, he had a mixed bag of a game week one. We will see how Hawkins continues to play but it doesn’t look like he will take over for Robinson at this point.
MLB Jarrad Davis 70 OVR – 28 weeks IR (Complete MCL Tear)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury. No change from week 1.
TE Tommy Sweeny 64 OVR – 5 weeks IR (Ruptured Disk)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury as he will stay on IR. No change from week 1.
C J.C Hassenauer 62 OVR – 23 weeks IR (Torn Tricep)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury. No change from week 1.
TE Chris Myarick 59 OVR – 18 weeks IR (Broken Hand)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury. No change from week 1.
