football is officially back. The Jaguars got the ball first after the Giants won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. With their first possession New York Giants T-Shirt , the Jags went 59 yards in nearly five minutes, but ended in just three points before the Giants’ offense got the ball for the first time. It was an inauspicious start for the Giants offense when they took the field. A pair of penalties by Ereck Flowers backed the Giants up to their own goal line, and the team was lucky to get punter Riley Dixon breathing room to get the punt off. The Giants quickly got the ball back following a spectacular interception along the sideline on the Jaguars’ next possession, but the ensuing drive stalled in the red zone. Janoris Jenkins nearly came up with another interception — which was still also almost caught for a touchdown by Niles Paul. The result was an incomplete pass which lead to a very long third down attempt, and Leornard Fournette going down awkwardly and limping off the field. He was diagnosed with hamstring tightness and was questionable to return.The Giants offense showed that they could move the ball against the Jaguars’ formidable defense. However, early penalties knocked the offense off schedule, playing in to the Jaguars’ strengths. A touchdown from the Jaguars late in the half extended the lead to 13-3, with the Giants responding with a touchdown to end the half.Eli Manning is 11-of-12 for 98 yards and Odell Beckham Jr. has 5 receptions for 45 yards.Use this as your second-half open thread, and the Giants will get the ball to start the second half.Reports: Giants to work out QB Matt McGloin, WR Breshad Perriman, DL Daeshon Hall, and others It has been a tumultuous few days for the New York Giants as the roster was trimmed from 90 to 53 players, waiver claims were made New York Giants Hats , and more players cut. And it isn’t over yet. The Giants will reportedly work out a number of players on Tuesday, many with names you will recognize.Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is reporting that the Giants will work out veteran quarterback Matt McGloin.McGloin was released by the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday afternoon. He was originally signed by the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State in 2013. McGloin spent the next four years in Oakland, before signing a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. in 2017. He was released by the Eagles in September, signed with the Houston Texans later that season after Deshaun Watson’s injury. He signed with the Chiefs in March of this year, and was with them through training camp and the pre-season before being released this weekend.Rapoport is also reporting that the Giants have a workout scheduled with former first-round wide receiver Breshad Perriman. Perriman was originally drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft out of Central Florida. The 6-foot-2 Perriman has incredible athleticism, reportedly running a 4.24 40-yard dash to go with a 36 1鈦? inch vertical leap and 10-foot, 7-inch broad jump. However, he suffered a knee injury his rookie year and has struggled with route running and catching the ball since returning from injury. Obviously, he will not work out for the Giants if he first signs with the New York Jets.The Giants are also reportedly working out defensive lineman Daeshon Hall, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, and WR/KR JoJo Natsun, formerly of the Jets. Hall was drafted by Dave Gettleman in the third round of the 2017 draft out of Texas A&M. He has a prototypical build for a defensive lineman with long arms and the frame to carry his weight well. He played outside linebacker, 4-3 defensive end New York Giants Hoodie , and the 5-technique in college. Hall missed all but one game last season after suffering a knee injury.JoJo Natson was originally signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He was waived in final cuts and was signed by the Jets soon after. As a returner, Natson had 38 yards on 16 punt returns (2.4 yards per return) and 325 yards on 16 kick returns (20.3 yards per return).Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News is reporting the Giants will host a third potential returner, Quadree Henderson. Henderson was an undrafted free agent out of Pitt, and was regarded as one of the top return specialists in the country coming out of college. He doesn’t have blazing speed, running a 4.5 40-yard dash at the combine, but has remarkable short-area quickness and plays without hesitation as a returner. In college, Henderson averaged 26.6 yards per return (3 touchdowns) on kick-offs, with averages of 28.0 and 30.5 yards per return as a freshman and sophomore. As a punt returner as a sophomore and junior, he averaged 13.4 yards per return (15.8 and 11.6 yards per return, respectively), with another 3 touchdowns.
