The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their third of four practices ahead of a Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Beforehand, the team's three coordinators met with reporters and discussed a wide array of topics, including the health of several players who have appeared on the injury report.
"It's a possibility," special teams coordinator Chris Horton said of Deonte Banks returning punts due to injury. "I don't think anything's off the shelf. We talk about trying to win football games. And if that gives us the best opportunity to win a football game. We're talking about one rep. We're talking about one rep where we can go out there and
have the most success. So I don't think anything's off the table from that regard."
The worse news is that wide receiver Malik Nabers missed practice due to a knee injury.
"I'll be good," he told reporters after practice.
