Giants news, 8/19: Injury updates, Eli’s place in Giants’ lore, more

In addition to the progress being made by wide receiver Sterling Shepard, several other players returned to practice on Sunday. Linebacker Alec Ogletree (calf), running back Wayne Gallman (ankle) and offensive tackle Brian Mihalik (burner) were back on the field.

However it ends with Eli, though, and even as a rising Sam Darnold playing in his own stadium, it is always worth remembering that there has never been a New York football Giant more important than Eli has been. Not Frank Gifford. Not Phil Simms. Not even Lawrence Taylor, the most talented player in Giants history, and probably the greatest defensive player of them all.
