Giants' Valentino Blake given roster exemption, listed as 'left squad'
EAST RUTHERFORD -- Valentino Blake's curious absence from Giants practice has become even more so.
The Giants have been given a roster exemption for Blake, according to Wednesday's NFL transaction wire, after the cornerback missed practice. Blake is listed on the wire with a "exempt/left squad" designation.
Blake's agent has not responded to a message left by NJ Advance Media. Head coach Ben McAdoo was oddly evasive when asked about Blake's absence after practice, and the Giants have not added any comment since the wire was published.
"We had a couple guys we had to leave inside today. We will leave it at that," McAdoo said.
