Giants Are Building a Ground Game. Camp Injuries Are Already Testing the Foundation.

John Harbaugh's offense is shaping up to lean on the run, and the Giants have the backs to support it. Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, and Cam Skattebo give the room three legitimate contributors with different skill sets — a genuine three-headed approach that should hold up even if one piece misses time. That part of the roster looks fine.

The concern is what surrounds it. The offensive line signed center Brenden Jaimes last week specifically because camp injuries were thinning the depth up front, and on Monday both Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart picked up minor injuries at practice. Carter's situation is worth watching given his role on the defensive front. Dart's matters because he's the depth quarterback behind a position that has been unsettled for two years running.

None of this is catastrophic in isolation. Minor injuries in August are August. But the Giants have been managing roster holes since before camp opened — Roy Robertson-Harris on IR, the defensive line patched with Marlon Davidson, the offensive line now reinforced out of necessity. The additions are reasonable. The pattern of needing them is the part that bears watching over the next couple of weeks.
