The Giants were missing two starting defensive backs at practice Wednesday, but only one was listed on the injury report.
Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was missing from practice for an unspecified reason. A team spokesman said he did not have any information on the veteran’s absence. Rodgers-Cromartie was spotted leaving the locker room on Tuesday when it opened to reporters.
Head coach Ben McAdoo is schedule to hold a press conference at 1:30 p.m.
Rodgers-Cromartie did exit Sunday’s 27-22 loss to the Chargers due to what was believed to be a left leg injury, but he was excluded from the injury report. Safety Landon Collins is on the injury report with an ankle injury; he was also missing from practice, as was wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who has an ankle injury.
