The New York Giants wrapped up the offseason workout program with their final minicamp practice Tuesday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.

While the Giants are permitted three minicamp practices, most teams reserve the final day for a team-bonding or chemistry-building activity. The Giants, for instance, are conducting an organization-wide barbecue.

New York Giants minicamp: Takeaways from Day 2

Giants holding three injured WRs out of practice

The Giants had a trio of wideouts suffer injuries during the first minicamp practice Tuesday. They were not on the field Wednesday. There was no update for Darius Slayton, who apparently suffered an injury after slipping during a route Tuesday. Meanwhile, Chase Cota broke his collarbone and Bryce Ford-Wheaton sprained his shoulder.

Head coach Brian Daboll said he is hopeful everyone will be available for training camp.

Mike Kafka open to giving up play-calling duties

For the first two years that Daboll has been the head coach, he has given the play-calling duties to the team's assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. However, during the spring, it has been Daboll calling the plays. Kafka told the media he's open to whatever Daboll decides.

Daniel Bellinger dealing with undisclosed injury

The limited reps for Bellinger this offseason have been questionable, and Daboll sightly addressed that situation Wednesday. He said the former fourth-round pick has been dealing with something during the offseason and that while they're being cautious, Bellinger is expected to be ready for training camp.

Very light practice with vets getting the day off

The Giants wrapped up the offseason workout program with a light practice day on Wednesday. A few veterans also got the day off from team drills.
