Head coach Brian Daboll has been eager to have the players work in pads, but according to CBA guidelines, teams cannot do so until they have been acclimated to camp for five days. The current CBA limits the number of padded practices between the veteran reporting date and the final day of preseason training camp to 16. Daboll hasn’t said what his plans are, as he’s likely going to take each day as it comes, but given how ill-prepared the Giants looked last year to start the season, it probably wouldn’t hurt for the players to take full advantage of their padded practices as much as possible. Receiver Jalin Hyatt, who during last month’s mandatory minicamp suffered a left hamstring strain, was held out of Friday’s practice due to some tightness and cramping he experienced in Thursday’s session.
