So It Begins Christmas Season GIF

I didn’t see a thread yet for this season. Merge if there is one.

Bummer for Giants.

Man, I don't like all this non-contact injury news and talk. Every time I see video of Puka, Stafford, Verse, etc going through drills and cutting and bursting - it's an injury waiting to happen, and I don't wanna see it. I wanna live in a bubble till Sept, hoping that we get lucky once again and suffer no major injuries till then, if at all.

Pretty sure there would be way more injuries if they just jumped into games full speed/effort without the ramp-up of OTAs/Training Camp.

We’re also talking about Met Life Stadium whose turf has a poor track record. It could be compared to Indianapolis in the late 90s or Edward Jones.

I agree - look at how many Achilles injuries and ACL injuries have occurred at that stadium.
 
Yeah I'd assume they don't practice at the stadium.
The New York Giants practice and train at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center, located at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The sprawling 104,000-square-foot complex includes a 98,000-square-foot indoor practice facility with a synthetic turf field, as well as four outdoor practice fields (three grass and one turf).

Thanks for the research Den. Did they get injured on the turf or grass?

Being that it is an NFL caliber facility, grass seems less likely. Some of the few remaining HS grass fields in Nor Cal need to be leveled as there are large divots where you need to watch your footing.

Gunner Olszewski & Thaddeus Dixon was outdoors on grass & Roy Robertson-Harris was indoors on field turf.
