Justin Pugh, an offensive lineman for the New York Giants, had his first full padded practice after signing to the practice squad last week. Pugh expressed his goal of proving that he deserves a contract. He also mentioned that his mentality of getting back up and making the next play can help the offensive line group. Pugh commented on the unique experience of being back in the New York market, noting the large number of reporters he has encountered. This was Pugh's first full padded practice in over a year, and he will assess how he feels in the coming days to determine if he is ready to play. The possibility of starting does not make a difference for quarterback Tyrod Taylor, and Pugh, as a veteran leader, is supportive of the young position group. Pugh tore his ACL last year, and if he plays on Sunday, it will be exactly 364 days since his injury. Pugh's knee feels great, and he is ready to play if elevated for Sunday's game.
Justin Pugh told me in the locker room that his knee feels great, no setbacks. Said he's getting the verbiage of the playbook down and will be ready if elevated for Sunday. He better be elevated. #NYGiants
