In this story:


Injury update on WR Terrace Marshall Jr.

"Still evaluating. Don't want to jump to any quick conclusions. Like I said the other day, sometimes with these things, you got to let them settle down for two, three, four days, so that's what we're in the process of doing."

Any concern for injured guys 

"Not at this point. We remain pretty optimistic. Players are so determined to get back on the field. We remain cautious, but optimistic. When a guy gets something, you don't want to put him in jeopardy. And sometimes you have to protect them from themselves and just give it an extra day or two. But we'll take it case-by-case."

Plan for Bryce vs. Giants

"He will play. Probably similar to last game as far as play time. You know, plus or minus. As you guys know, what I've said is it's just kind of TBD. But I just tell the guys, hey, we all got to get ready to play. Obviously want to have some success out there. Want to move the ball, make first downs, score some points. Just play more consistently as an offensive unit and then be better on third down, get our run game going a little bit. Overall on offense, we just need to have a better outing."

Plan at right guard vs. Giants

"There will be a little rotation. Not quite as much. Still working with Campy on that. Wanted to see these young guys [Chandler] Zavala and Nash [Jensen] get them through this week and make sure they didn't have any setbacks, so I'll sit down with Campy at some point today and kind of finalize what that'll be."

Thomas Brown calling plays and tips he's given him

"Just have conviction in what you call. I thought he did a great job. It came very easy to him. He's been doing it the whole OTAs and training camp when we go two-minute, you know, I'm just having him call everything. He's doing a great job. He's a natural. He really is. Very quick-minded. If you know Thomas, you know he's very decisive and he does call his plays with conviction. I think this is a great experience for him." 

What facing the Giants will be like

"This is going to be a really good challenge, now. For our offense against their defense, particularly just because Wink [Martindale] is very exotic in his pressure package. There's going to be blitz zero. There's going to be all kinds of pressures."

If the o-line has bounced back

"I think they responded well. The intensity and the focus out at practice...I think we're all looking forward to getting out there and putting on a better performance."
