Giants won’t have James Bradberry this week

Things continue to get hard for the Giants with James Bradberry now out

The New York Giants announced on Thursday that star cornerback James Bradberry will miss this coming Sunday night’s game against the Cleveland Browns after coming in close contact with someone who is now infected with COVID-19.

This has nothing to do with Giants’ offensive coordinator Jason Garrett who tested positive this week.

Giants cornerback James Bradberry has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Bradberry was placed on the list because he was deemed to be a high risk close contact of an individual who has tested positive.

The Giants have made it clear that the person who tested positive wasn’t at the team’s facility and isn’t a part of the organization.

The contact did not occur at the Giants facility and the individual is not a member of the organization.
Bradberry will remain isolated from the team and continue to participate in meetings remotely.

The good news is that Bradberry hasn’t tested positive for COVID-1,9 but the bad news of course is that he will have to miss this week’s game.

Given the timing of the close contact, Bradberry will miss Sunday night’s game against Cleveland. If he continues to test negatively and has no symptoms, he would come off the reserve list on Monday.

The Giants are now down to one cornerback in Issac Yiadom. They may have to line up Logan Ryan at corner.

New York keeps getting dealt some serious blows with Daniel Jones now dealing with two legs injuries, Jason Garrett now out with COVID-19 and Bradberry out because he was a close contact of someone who was infected. While this has been an encouraging season so far with what head coach Joe Judge has been able to do, I don’t see them making the playoffs.
