One player flying under the radar as the New York Giants open their training camp is inside linebacker Blake Martinez, who missed the last 14 games of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL.
Martinez is back, albeit on a limited basis for now. He is a true gamer who had played in 75 consecutive games before the injury and is planning to resume his tenure as the Giants’ defensive captain this season after getting cleared by the team’s medical staff.
“I just kind of went through the offseason, the last 10 months working on my knee every day and just listening to the training staff,” Martinez told reporters on Wednesday. “I got the news yesterday that I was good to go and basically went out there and felt good today.”
