With the New York Giants padding up for the first full practice of 2020 on Monday, many questions remain unanswered. With cornerbacks DeAndre Baker and Sam Beal set to miss the 2020 season, there is a void in the secondary. Also, the return of Evan Engram and Ryan Connelly represent questions, considering they are both coming off season-ending injuries.

Of course, the offensive line is another unit that poses an issue. Nobody knows whether the starting offensive line for the Giants will be able to hold up during the regular season, with two new players in Andrew Thomas and Cam Fleming holding down the tackle spots.

Taking a look at three questions the New York Giants face during training camp:

1.) Will Matt Peart earn any reps with the first team?

With veteran Cam Fleming set to compete at right tackle, this leaves third-round pick, Matt Peart, in a developmental role. This is exactly where Peart should be, coming out of the University of Connecticut and lacking the muscle mass to really anchor down at the position. However, he seems to have put on some more mass and his frame is steadily building out, which is a fantastic sign for his physical development. As he refines his technique and fundamentals, Peart could quickly cement himself as a starter for the Giants down the line, but I imagine they will look to wait as long as possible before making that decision.

In the meantime, the Giants can feel confident they have multiple options in case Fleming misses any time.
