Three of the Giants’ top four cornerbacks — Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks, and Greg Newsome — were on Thursday’s injury report. Adebo (knee) did not practice. Banks (calf) and Newsome (rib) were limited practice participants.
Rookie Colton Hood was the only one of the top four cornerbacks to practice fully on Thursday. Dru Phillips is the slot cornerback. Nic Jones
is also on the roster, and Ar’Darius Washington can play cornerback.
The Giants will have to make a roster move to make space for Reed.
