The Quest Diagnostics Training Center hosted the New York Giants’ training camp on Tuesday.
Tracy sustained injuries after he mishandled a kickoff on Tuesday, and he will now receive further imaging at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Tracy attempted to field the ball by stepping forward, mishandled it, twisted in an attempt to catch it before it touched the ground, and suffered a buckling right leg.
His right leg was placed in an aircast as he was wheeled off the field.
With his strong performance thus far, the fifth-round selection from Purdue appeared to have the advantage against Devin Singletary for the second running back job.
Near the conclusion of practice, undrafted rookie free agent Lorenzo Lingard took some first-team reps while Dante Miller (hamstring) remained out. Lingard only signed a contract on Monday.
“I hope he recovers quickly so we can get him back on the field because he’s a pretty good back,” added Malik Nabers, another rookie. He must be in the backfield to catch balls coming out of the backfield. Thus, his presence on the field improves our offensive.

More injuries from the NYG training camp; Malik is fine
Although rookie wide out Malik Nabers did not practice on Tuesday, coach Brian Daboll claims that the wide receiver’s ankle ailment is “nothing serious.”
With his injured left ankle not in a brace, Nabers jogged earlier in the day and expressed confidence that he would be fit for the Vikings’ opening game on September 8.
“I feel good,” Nabers declared. “But I don’t think there’s anything too serious wrong with the ankle.”

Giants could see Sam Darnold in Week 1 according to J.J. McCarthy’s surgery. Baby steps Center On Tuesday, offensive tackle Evan Neal and quarterback John Michael Schmitz made progress toward their recuperations from injuries. For the first time since returning to practice on Sunday, both participated in team drills.
Schmitz played little with the first squad after missing over two weeks due to a shoulder injury. The attacking line-up that Schmitz was a part of was as follows:
LT Andrew Thomas; LG Aaron Stinnie (because to a shoulder ailment, Jon Runyan Jr. did not practice); C Schmitz; RG Greg Van Roten; RT Jermaine Eluemunor.
Neal was the right tackle for the second team.
Before leaving the field, Schmitz and Neal each took two reps at a time.
Watch the rookies
Offensive lineman Jake Kubas, an undrafted rookie free agent, continues to project as a guy who could make the 53-man roster. Kubas took over at right guard for the first team on Tuesday when Greg Van Roten moved from right guard to center to replace Schmitz.
During training camp, the former lineman for North Dakota State has filled in at center and guard.
Earlier in the training camp, Daboll stated the following regarding Kubas:
He has the makings of a strong offensive lineman. Let me just say that he is smart and tough. His movement skills are adequate, and throughout his time in college, he played well. Although he still has a ways to go, I believe that both offensive line coach Carm Bricillo and assistant offensive line coach James Fernitz have done a fantastic job developing him. He is familiar with our system. Even though it is only his fourth practice session, he already has strong communication skills, even with OTAs. We’ll work to further his development.
Whoa!
Jude McAtamney, a rookie placekicker and undrafted free agent who spent the last two seasons at Rutgers, had a stab at field goals on Tuesday. McAtamney made six of his six attempts, his final and longest kick measuring sixty yards.
