Giants hold wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster out of practice with knee injury

Summary

The New York Giants held wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster out of practice on August 5 due to swelling in his knee.

The Giants currently project to keep six wide receivers, leaving Smith-Schuster's future uncertain. He signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with the Giants in June. Smith-Schuster had previously won a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 and is regarded as one of the NFL's first social media stars, known for his impact since being drafted in 2017.
