Despite 90 degree temperatures with 50% humidity, the injury cart got a welcomed rest at Giants training camp this afternoon. In fact, other than Odell Beckham Jr. (“tweaked hamstring”), all players removed from yesterday’s practice were participating on some level. That list includes — OG Brandon Mosley, MLB Jameel McClain, TE Xavier Grimble and OT Charles Brown. Let’s run through what we learned on the second day of camp:
Giants Nation got a major scare from Jameel McClain yesterday… what’s he up to?
LB Jameel McClain (foot) is also "sore," Coughlin said, but he made it through the whole practice.

David Wilson was back returning kicks… how did he look?
David Wilson made quite a few people miss on a kick-coverage drill when he was returner. Can stop on a dime/cut like few others #Giants #BBI
