So now several OL and two coaches.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 29, 2020The lineman could be by Monday’s game. Their participation depends on what kind of contact they had with Hernandez.The #Giants are scheduled to host the #Bucs on Monday night. The timing of close contact for the others, and whether they are considered "high risk" exposures, will determine whether they can be cleared in time to play. https://t.co/swRniDnUo5— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 29, 2020The New York Giants are scheduled to play the Buccaneers on Monday night, 8:15 p.m. ET.
