New York Giants QB Curtis Painter (knee) participated in organized team activities Wednesday, May 28.
Footballguys View: Painter is competing for the backup job behind Eli Manning. His competition for the position includes former first-round pick Josh Freeman and second-year pro Ryan Nassib. The Giants are likely to only carry two quarterbacks, and we don’t think Painter will be one of them.
