New York Giants Blue-White Scrimmage Live Blog
The Giants are set to hold their second scrimmage of training camp tonight at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants roster is all but set heading into the season as a handful of young and unproven players will have the chance to impress the coaching staff and claim a roster spot.
Which players will step up and shine bright under the lights? Follow along for updates all night long.
Stars Of The Game: Lorenzo Carter and Wayne Gallman
In between a disappointing performance by Jones and a possible injury scare with Holmes, the Giants' biggest bright spots of the scrimmage were Carter's four sacks and Gallman's two touchdowns.
Both Carter and Gallman were under-the-radar young contributors going into training camp but played like true difference makers tonight.
The only question is whether it's a matter of pre-season luck or a precursor for a pair of big seasons out of the Carter and Gallman.
Final: Blue 23 White 22, Gano's Game Winner
Gano kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired to give the offense a 23-22 win over the defense.
Christian Angulo Breaks Up a Pass
Angulo broke up a downfield pass from Tanney to Binjamin Victor. Angulo, at 6 foot 2, is built to take on tall receivers like Victor, 6 foot 4, in man coverage, which he specialized with in college.
Carter Coughlin's Would-Be Sack
Rookie edge rusher Carter Coughlin came close to recording a sack on quarterback Alex Tanney but refs called the play dead too early.
Darnay Holmes Injured
Rookie cornerback Darnay Holmes is questionable to return after suffering a lower-body injury. If the Giants lose Holmes, that will be the third cornerback and fourth total defensive back they have lost from the unit they were originally projected to take into the season.
Daniel Done
Jones appears to be done for the nights. He went 8-of-1 with a fumble and led the offense to three points. He was also sacked six times by the first-team defense in just one half.
Long Gain For Leake
Undrafted rookie running back Javon Leake picked up a 20-yard gain on an outside run.
Rush Leads The Charge
Rush has led a strong opening drive to the second half, completing a handful of clutch third-down passes. The drive went 66 yards in 13 plays and was capped off a touchdown pass to Gallman. For Gallman, it's his second touchdown of the night.
Quarterback Change
Quarterback Cooper Rush has come in at quarterback for the Giants as the Jones and McCoy may be done for the night.
End of Half: 15-13 White
White team leads 15-13 at the half. Jones has not looked good so far, while Carter has emerged as a complete game breaker in this scrimmage.
Coleman's Clutch Catch
Backup quarterback Colt McCoy hits Corey Coleman, who was in tight coverage by rookie cornerback Christian Angulo, to set up a 40-yard field goal for Gano just before the end of the half.
Rookie Mistake
Mack makes a catch along the sideline during the two-minute drill but doesn't get out of bounds, as the second-team offense is forced to burn a time out.
Leonard Williams Joins The Sack Parade
Defensive tackle Leonard Williams has done his part in the first-team defense's pass rush as he gets his first sack.
Carter Going Harder
Carter has racked up his fourth sack of the game. The Giants' first-team offensive line has had no answer for the third-year edge rusher. If he can keep this up when the season starts it could change what we know about the Giants' defense.
Two More Sacks
Veteran edge rusher Markus Golden got a sack on Daniel Jones and shortly after Carter once again got to Jones, stripped the ball out and recovered it. Carter just isn't slowing down.
C.J. Board Fumbles
Undrafted wide receiver C.J. Board has done a good job returning punts so far tonight but fumbled his most recent one. Fortunately for him, fellow undrafted wide receiver Austin Mack jumps on top of it.
A Coach's Challenge
Head coach Joe Judge challenged a ruling on the field that running back Saquon Barkley stepped out of bounds on a 15-yard catch and run. The ruling on the field was upheld.
End of One: 10-3 White
The White team leads the Blue team 10-3 at the end of the first quarter, as the first-team offense has struggled. Carter has been the most dominant player on the field tonight.
Symbolic Decals
The Giants players are wearing a decal of the community group with which they are working on the back of their helmets tonight.
Graham Gano Gets Hits First Field Goal
Kicker Graham Gano boots his first field goal from 37 yards out to give the first-team offense its first points.
Is Lorenzo Carter Unblockable?
Carter has already racked up two sacks tonight as the first-team offense has had no answers for the third-year edge rusher.
Deep Ball to Darius Slayton
Jones shakes off the Carter sack and delivers a 40-yard pass to wide receiver Darius Slayton for the first-team offense's biggest play of the day.
Lorenzo Carter Brings Down Daniel Jones
Edge rusher Lorenzo Carter gets around his former Georgia Bulldogs teammate in rookie offensive tackle Andrew Thomas to bring Jones to the ground.
Touchdown Wayne Gallman
Running back Wayne Gallman takes a run 43 yards to the endzone behind solid second-team blocking. Rookie guard Shane Lemieux had a very notable block on the play.
Cautious Tackling
While the Giants are playing at game speed, they don't appear to be bringing the wood in terms of tackling, as they are playing a cautious brand of defense by not tackling to the ground.
Slow Start for The Offense
Quarterback Daniel Jones and the offense goes three and out on the first drive of the game.
Dexter Lawrence got things started by batting down Daniel Jones' first pass attempt at the line of scrimmage.
A Moment of Solidarity
The Giants linked arms in two rows at midfield as a display of solidarity and reflection in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha Wisconsin.
A video calling for social justice reform played prior to a "moment of reflection on the state of our country” before the scrimmage.
No Evan Engram
Tight end Evan Engram will not be playing in tonight's scrimmage per the New York Daily News. The Giants are likely looking to minimize injury risk with their star tight end as he's missed 13 games to injury over the past two seasons.
Kaden Smith and Levine Toilolo will get the bulk of first-team reps while Garrett Dickerson and Rysen John should also get a handful of opportunities.
No Blake Martinez
Inside linebacker Blake Martinez has not taken the field after missing yesterday's practice with an unknown issue.
This will mean a lot of first-team reps for Ryan Connelly and Devante Downs.
