Giants injured star running Saquon Barkley and two other starters did not practice after being placed in the COVID-19 protocol along with assistant coach Burton Burns.
Safety Xavier McKinney and left guard Matt Skura also did not practice because of the virus which was detected on Tuesday after the team returned from a game in Kansas City against the Chiefs the previous night.
Barkley, who has missed the past three games with an ankle injury, McKinney and Skura were placed in the protocol after they tested positive on Wednesday. "When something like this comes up, I don't know how the results will come back. I'm not going to lose sleep on it. With all we experienced last season it's a different type of football than the last couple of years and you have to be able to adjust on the fly.''
The Giants were supposed to start practicing for Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium at 11:10 a.m. on Wednesday. The workout started around 11:45. Some players did not practice because of injuries and others because of the COVID-19 protocols.
