New York Giants legend Michael Strahan was present as the team opened their three-day voluntary minicamp on Tuesday, but one of their core players was not.
Second-year wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who had a tumultuous rookie season, was absent. He was joined by veteran cornerback James Bradberry, who continues to skip voluntary activities while his fate is determined.
WR Kadarius Toney and CB James Bradberry weren’t in attendance for the first day of the Giants’ voluntary minicamp (or any of the offseason program to date), per sources.
Bradberry is staying away as he awaits resolution on his fate. No word on the reason for Toney’s absence.

The key word may be “voluntary,” but Toney’s continued refusal to join the team for anything that isn’t mandatory has raised some eyebrows. And it’s a near certainty that head coach Brian Daboll will be asked about the situation when he meets with reporters on Wednesday.
For just about every other Giant, Tuesday represented a time to work. Here’s a look at some of the sights and sounds from Day 1.

The Giants will return to the field for a soft practice on Wednesday. In addition to Daboll being available, several players will also conduct press conference before general manager Joe Schoen holds his pre-draft presser.
