## Resource

Bob Papa and Carl Banks break down the Giants’ initial 53-man roster and the difficult decisions surrounding cutdown day. They dive into Odell Beckham Jr. completing his comeback and earning a roster spot, the departures of Evan Neal and Jalin Hyatt, concerns about the Giants’ defensive tackle depth and run defense, and why more roster moves could still be coming. Plus, they discuss the wide receiver competition, John Michael Schmitz and the offensive line, and the new-look offense under John Harbaugh’s staff.
