Michael Strahan takes in practice

Here are Thursday’s practice notes:

*All-time Giants great Michael Strahan was on the sideline watching practice. Strahan spent time talking with Head Coach Brian Daboll, GM Joe Schoen and former teammate Jessie Armstead, who now serves as Special Assistant to the GM. Strahan and Armstead were both drafted by the Giants in the 1993 NFL Draft and went on to spend the next nine seasons together.

*Former offensive lineman Kevin Boothe was also present for practice and spent a good amount of time talking with Schoen. Boothe was a part of both the 2007 and 2011 Super Bowl teams, and started all four playoff games during the Giants’ run to winning Super Bowl XLVI.

Things got started with David Sills catching a pass from Daniel Jones for a first down. Jones then scrambled towards the sideline before hitting Daniel Bellinger for a solid gain.

*Jones and Saquon Barkley went on to connect on three passes to move the ball down the field. Jones and Sills linked up again later in the drive when Jones placed a ball perfectly between two defenders, hitting Sills inside the 10.

*The offense got the ball down to the 1-yard line, and on 4th and goal, Jones found Sills yet again in the back of the end zone for what looked like a touchdown, although Sills might have stepped out of…
