The New York Giants took the field Thursday for their second of three practices before a Week 12 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Previously, head coach Brian Daboll met with reporters and expressed optimism that edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux will be activated from injured reserve (IR) and play on Sunday.
“Encouraged,” Daboll said.
Even if Thibodeaux plays on Sunday, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said fellow edge rusher Azeez Ojulari has earned the right to play, suggesting a rotational snap share.
Meanwhile, nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who veterans typically get rest days, was limited in practice for the second straight day.
