The New York Giants have enough injury issues at cornerback at this point in training camp that they might be looking outside for help.
“CB Dru Phillips has a mild knee sprain but will miss some time,” ESPN’s Jordan Ranaan wrote on his official X account on Thursday. “CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse also didn’t practice again and is dealing with a nagging knee problem. Coach John Harbaugh said the Giants might sign another cornerback.”
Phillips was a 2024 3rd-round pick (No. 71 overall) who has started 14 games over the last 2 seasons and shown a penchant for making big plays. In his 1st 31 career games he has 127 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 15 pass deflections.
The injury was suffered during Wednesday’s practice.
“Giants starting defense gave up TDs on 3 straight plays inside 5 YL to second team offense,” Giants reporter Ryan Dunleavy wrote on his official X account on Wednesday. “On the third, slot CB Dru Phillips injured his lower right leg and was down for a while before trying to jog to the side with trainers … Ar’Darius Washington replaced him.”
“Giants nickel Dru Phillips left practice with an apparent lower leg injury, but John Harbaugh said he thought it was ‘something small’ and that he’d be fine,” USA Today’s Art Stapleton wrote on his official X account on Wednesday.
