Bobby Okereke is the stabilizing, consistent ‘centerpiece’ Giants need

Sunday was a day filled with significant news nuggets at Giants training camp. 

First, the team removed enigmatic, injury-prone Evan Neal from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, opening the door for the third-year right tackle to practice for the first time since undergoing ankle surgery last January. 

Then head coach Brian Daboll, delivering an update on back-up quarterback Drew Lock, who was knocked out of Thursday’s preseason opener with a hip contusion, said he has no plans to sign another quarterback, an indication that Lock’s injury isn’t believed to be long-term. 

Then Daboll revealed he plans to take starting quarterback Daniel Jones to Saturday’s preseason game at Houston, where Jones would play in a game for the first time since he tore his ACL last November in Las Vegas. 

And finally, with about 20 minutes remaining in Sunday’s practice, receiver Malik Nabers, the team’s first-round draft pick who’s been having a fabulous summer, went down with a left ankle injury and didn’t return. 

That laundry list of dramatic events should underscore the marvel that Bobby Okereke represents to the Giants.
