Joe Judge addresses Jim Fassel, Saquon Barkley’s rehab in Tuesday presser

The Giants commence the mandatory minicamp portion of the 2021 offseason Tuesday in East Rutherford. Head coach Joe Judge met with the media prior to practice to discuss a multitude of topics but began the press conference by addressing the Monday death of former Giants head coach Jim Fassel.

“I want to start out by offering our prayers to the family of coach Fassel. Obviously, very sadly, he passed away last night,” Judge said. “It’s a small league, from inside this building where his impact was directly felt and carries over to the history of our organization to coaches around the league who work together and have good relationships — a lot of respect for his son, John ‘Bones’ Fassel down in Dallas, have a very good relationship with him, just all the respect in the world for what they’re doing.
