The New York Giants held their second consecutive padded practice Tuesday afternoon as they get ready to play the New York Jets on Friday night. That game is always a special one. League-wide that’s because it is the one coaches typically use to most closely simulate a regular season game Cheap Sterling Shepard Jersey , with game-planning and extensive use of the starting personnel. But for the teams which share Met-Life Stadium, this game has become an annual tradition where the Giants and Jets play out their intra-city rivalry — at least in the years when the NFC East and AFC East don’t play each other in the regular season.

Reserve end Derrick Shelby, out since Week 2 with a groin injury, is also expected to return.Quinn added that receivers Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley will likely play after being limited participants in practice Saturday. Sanu has a sore hip. Ridley has an ankle injury. Jarrett and Shelby were limited, too.Getting Jarrett back is a big boost for a defense that ranks among the worst in the NFL after losing safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen to season-ending injuries and having its best linebacker Cheap Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , Deion Jones, sidelined another four weeks."Grady's energy, his voice, his demeanor — he brings a lot to the team," Quinn said.
