Big day for Lewis

Undrafted free agent Roger Lewis continued his strong camp on Monday. The wide receiver caught three passes from Eli Manning, including a touchdown in the two-minute drill, during Monday's practice. With Sterling Shepard, Victor Cruz and Geremy Davis sitting out of team drills, Lewis got more reps with the first team. He made the most of the opportunity.

Powe making a push

Lewis wasn't the only young wide receiver to make plays on Monday. Working with the second- and third-team offenses, Darius Powe caught two touchdown passes. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Powe uses his size well, jumping over cornerback Matt Smalley to catch a fade for one of his touchdowns on Monday. The performance of the young receivers has made the situation with Victor Cruz even more intriguing.

Pow wow with Cruz

Giants coach Ben McAdoo is typically tight-lipped, so it was interesting that he shared that he had a "nice conversation" with injured Victor Cruz on Sunday about different things the receiver can do moving forward. McAdoo declined to divulge any specifics, which led to speculation about the conversation. McAdoo said he supports Cruz 100 percent, but his comments on Monday led some to wonder if he is trying to push the receiver to get back on the field.

Beckham sprints

Two hours into Monday's grueling practice in the heat, McAdoo made the team run sprints. In a sign of his budding leadership, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. won every sprint.

Malleck moves around

There are going to be some tough roster decisions at tight end, where a number of players are fighting for a spot. McAdoo groups his tight ends and fullbacks together, so versatility is an asset. With Will Johnson and Nikita Whitlock out of Monday's practice with injuries, Ryan Malleck lined up at fullback and took a goal line handoff. Malleck was stuffed on the run, but it was encouraging for Malleck that he was given the opportunity.

Hall at safety

Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo showed some different looks with the dime package in Monday's practice. Donte Deayon and Janoris Jenkins were the outside cornerbacks with Leon Hall and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie inside and Darian Thompson and Landon Collins at safety. On one snap, Hall was deep with Thompson while Collins moved into the box. Hall's versatility adds a dimension to the secondary.

Just realized I tweeted the wrong video yesterday. Here's JT Thomas ramping up his workouts: pic.twitter.com/Mz3fA54hV6 — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) August 16, 2016

Thomas making progress

Linebacker J.T. Thomas is the only player still on the physically unable to perform list as he deals with a hamstring injury. Thomas' workload in Monday's practice indicates that he may be getting closer to a return. Thomas was put through a series of drills with a trainer that was more intense than anything he has done all camp. With Jonathan Casillas seizing the starting weak side linebacker job, Thomas needs to get back on the field sooner than later.

Hart the swing man

It looks like Bobby Hart is the top reserve offensive lineman. Hart has mostly worked at right tackle in camp, as he is ostensibly in a competition for the starting job. But when starting right guard John Jerry left Monday's practice with an illness, Hart stepped in for the majority of reps with the first-team offense.

Eli gets the boot

Even Eli Manning is subject to penalty when he makes a mistake in practice. Manning fumbled a snap from center Weston Richburg during team drills and McAdoo kicked both players off the field for one play.

Rough day for CBs

The cornerbacks lower on the depth chart had a rough practice on Monday. Donte Deayon, Trevin Wade and Matt Smalley were all beat for long completions and/or touchdowns. With Janoris Jenkins, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Leon Hall and Eli Apple locks to make the team, there will be an interesting battle for a roster spot among the rest of the cornerbacks. Monday's practice didn't help anyone's cause.
