The Giants, unlike the Jets, have not pulled the plug on their upstate training camp plans. The Jets will not be heading to Cortland, N.Y., this summer, but the Giants still are holding out hope that the NFL lockout will be lifted in time for them to train, as usual, at the University at Albany.
The Giants have held training camp in the New York state capital since 1996.
“We continue to stay in touch with the university and play it by ear,” said Pat Hanlon, the Giants’ vice president of communications. “Our hope remains to hold camp in Albany.”
The Giants have tentative plans to start camp on July 30 and stay in camp until Aug. 21. They cannot stay on campus after Aug. 24, as the students will be arriving that weekend and the Giants must be out of the dorms.
