Here is a closer look at those who either helped or hurt their own causes Thursday during the Giants’ 14-3 victory against the Lions.
Elsewhere in New York, the stocks of a few Giants rose and dipped, too, as is the case in every NFL preseason game, when backups are fighting to survive the cut from 90 to 53 players before the regular season. Somehow, despite all of the Giants’ injuries during a lost 2023 season, the undrafted rookie sat on the practice squad without ever getting activated.
But could Basham, a former second-round pick who might have some interior rush ability, challenge Azeez Ojulari to be the top backup? — 4-of-10 passing for 17 yards with an interception and a hesitance to throw the ball to an open Malik Nabers — even before he left with an oblique strain and hip pointer that could leave his availability week-to-week.Third-stringer Tommy DeVito is a fan favorite who went 3-3 as a rookie starter, but Lock’s guaranteed $5 million contract assures he is safe as the top backup.
Stinnie starting while Van Roten sat is an indication that Van Roten will slide into that spot when the line is intact.The Giants held out two of their top three cornerbacks and Herndon still didn’t start.
