Looking good for Week 1 Toney (undisclosed) ran routes at full speed during Wednesday's practice and took reps with the second-team offense in individual drills, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger...

Impact Between a brief stint on the reserve/COVID list and now an undisclosed injury, Toney hasn't taken many reps in team drills this summer. That should be coming soon enough with the Giants expecting him to play Week 1 against Denver, but the first-round pick may have to settle a small role to open his career, even with the Giants set back by a number of other skill-position injuries. Things are looking dicey for tight ends Evan Engram (ankle) and Kyle Rudolph (foot), while wideouts Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (ankle) and running back Saquon Barkley (knee) seem more likely to suit up for Week 1. it is possible Toney could take on extra snaps if Golladay or Slayton doesn't end up playing.

Still on track for Week 1 Toney (undisclosed) remains on track for the Sept. 12 season opener against the Broncos, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

Impact Toney has missed a notable amount of training camp, first due to a positive test for COVID-19, which delayed his start to practices, and then due to an undisclosed injury that has forced him to miss each of the Giants' preseason contests. The nature of the rookie first-round pick's injury remains undisclosed, but given the amount of reps he's missed, New York could opt to ease him back into action as the regular season kicks off.

Not expected to play Sunday Toney (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in the Giants' final preseason game Sunday, Pat Leonard of NY Daily News reports.

Impact Toney has struggled to get going in training camp. First he tested positive for COVID-19 which delayed the rookie's start to camp, and then he was held out of the Giants' first preseason game after "aggravating" something at the end of the week. The 20th overall pick continues to do minimal work on the sidelines during practice and will likely not play in the preseason finale Sunday. Given his lack of reps during training camp, it should be expected that Toney's regular-season production will be limited as the Giants ease him back into game action.

Likely DNP on Sunday Toney (undisclosed) is unlikely to play in Sunday's preseason contest in Cleveland, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The Giants held a joint practice with the Browns on Thursday and will do so again Friday, but during the first session Toney worked on the side with the training staff, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger. Coach Joe Judge later told Paul Schwartz of the New York Post that Toney wouldn't be a part of any drills in the two practices, and the rookie first-round receiver now is slated to have his pro debut delayed further. Assuming he sits out this weekend, Toney will have one more chance (Sunday, Aug. 29 against the Patriots) to play in a game before Week 1.

Could see more work Tuesday Coach Joe Judge indicated there's a chance that Toney's (undisclosed) workload will increase in practice Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Meanwhile, the report notes that Judge declined to give any other update on Toney's injury or status. In any case, regardless of exactly what issues have been slowing down the 2021 first-rounder, the time that he's missed this summer hasn't helped the Florida product's chances of making an immediate fantasy splash, with Kenny Golladay (hamstring), Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton also in the mix at wide receiver for the Giants.

Not spotted during warmups Toney was not spotted during warmups prior to Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York.

Impact Toney has been brought along slowly after recovering from COVID-19, and it appears the Giants will remain cautious with him Saturday. While it appears he will have to wait to see his first action as a professional, he should have a chance to take the field next Sunday against the Browns with eight days between the Giants' first and second exhibition contests.

Giants first-round pick Kadarius Toney starts low on unofficial depth chart Kadarius Toney has some ground to make up to take his place among the Giants’ starters.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • MCALL.COM

Goes through 11-on-11s Toney participated in 11-on-11s at Friday's practice, NJ.com's Zack Rosenblatt reports.

Impact He lined up with the second-string offense and wasn't targeted, but it nonetheless marks a small step forward as the Giants ease their first-round pick into training camp following a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Toney has a tricky path to snaps in an offense with three experienced NFL starters (Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton) at his position, but between durability concerns and the possibility of Shepard/Slayton struggling, the rookie could find his way into a starting role before long.
