Giants' backup linemen must protect rookie QB Daniel Jones

The Giants released their first unofficial depth chart on Tuesday, and it showed Paul Adams as the fourth left offensive tackle and Chad Slade as the third right guard.

But because of injuries to tackles Chad Wheeler, Brian Mihalik and George Asafo-Adjei, there were Adams and Slade in practice, manning left and right tackle for the second unit in front of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

It is possible Jones will start against the Jets in Thursday night’s preseason opener, but even if that happens, he likely would stay in the game longer than the starting tackles do.
