Ahead of the start of training camp, The Post’s Paul Schwartz looks at the top five Giants players to watch:
QB Russell Wilson
Sometimes it is easy to forget this is a 36-year old guy and someone that age must be taken care of by the coaches, trainers and medical staff. Wilson certainly looked frisky in the spring, and his legs and arm looked fresh. Lest we forget, Wilson hurt his calf early in Steelers’ training camp last year and the injury lingered, causing him to miss the first six games of the season.
TE Theo Johnson
Just when Johnson as a rookie was showing signs that he could be a significant weapon in the passing game, he went down on Thanksgiving in a game against the Cowboys with a fifth metatarsal foot fracture, ending his rookie season. Following surgery, Johnson has returned to full health, and the Giants are expecting big things from this 6-foot-6 target.
LT Andrew Thomas
No one is concerned about Thomas when he is on the field — he is a top-tier left tackle and unquestionably the best offensive lineman on the roster. The problem is that Thomas is not on the field often enough. He played in just 10 games in 2023 because of a hamstring strain and made it through the first six games in 2024 before going down with a serious Lisfranc foot injury. He was kept off the field in the spring, and his status will be worth monitoring on a daily basis.
