Giants' Gary Brightwell: No offensive snaps in Week 7

Brightwell didn't play an offensive snap in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.

All 18 of Brightwell's snaps came on special teams. With Saquon Barkley (ankle) out, New York used fullback Elijhaa Penny (nine carries for 24 yards) to spell primary option Devontae Booker (14 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown). Despite Penny's lackluster performance, the Giants seem to trust him more than Brightwell, whom the team selected in the sixth round of the 2021 draft.
