Two words served as relief for the Giants as head coach Brian Daboll on Thursday provided an update on the health of offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor.
“Nothing serious,” Daboll said.
Just like that, the Giants could breathe easier.
Eluemunor, working as the starting right tackle, went down early in his first Giants training camp practice on Wednesday after accidentally making contact with massive nose tackle Dexter Lawrence.
“Anybody Dex hits gets sore from that,” Daboll said.
Eluemunor stayed down on the field on all fours before walking off the field with trainers.
He came out of the contact with Lawrence with soreness on his right side, in the area of his ribs.
Eluemunor took to his X account on Wednesday night to post “all good.”
He was able to take part in individual drills during Thursday’s morning practice.
Signed this offseason to a two-year contract worth $14 million, Eluemunor was the starting right tackle for the Raiders in 2023 and the eight-year veteran has position versatility.
With Evan Neal on the physically unable to perform list, still recovering from ankle surgery, Eluemunor is lining up as the starting right tackle after being the starting left guard all spring.
