Giants face race to build offensive line chemistry ahead of Week 1

The Giants’ Week 1 offensive line chemistry is being tested by missed live reps, with rookie right guard Francis Mauigoa at the center of the issue. The 10th overall pick is expected to start, but New York’s training camp schedule didn’t fully integrate him with the starting five. Mauigoa missed the second preseason game due to a shoulder injury sustained earlier, which left the team with limited coordination. In Friday’s preseason game against the Jets, he played alongside center John Michael Schmitz and left guard Jon Runyan; the trio together logged only 13 snaps. The opener is less than two weeks away, and Mauigoa’s earlier work was also limited because Schmitz missed the game due to injury.
