EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Bobby Okereke stayed plenty busy during the New York Giants' Week 13 bye. On Tuesday of the off-week, the starting middle linebacker was double-booked with a massage and acupuncture scheduled for the morning.
It's indicative of the time and work that Okereke spends on his body, even during the offseason. It's something the fifth-year pro says he learned from veterans such as Shaquille Leonard during his time with the Indianapolis Colts.
Safety Xavier McKinney isn't far behind in his emphasis on self-care, even if he goes about it differently.
