Blake (personal) is dealing with some personal issues, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blake left the team mysteriously on Wednesday and was placed on the exempt/left squad list to open his roster spot. The Giants have given no timetable for his return and signed defensive back Tim Scott to fill out the roster.

The Giants designated Blake exempt/left squad Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is unclear what exactly is going on behind the scenes, but Blake's designation makes room for the Giants to use his spot on the 90-man roster for another player. He is competing for a depth cornerback and special teams' role on the final roster, so a quick return will be helpful for his chances.

Blake (back) played in Monday's preseason game against the Browns, Dan Duggan of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blake is expected to earn his meal ticket as a special teams asset, and the Giants showed that when he played in a team-high 10 kicking snaps Monday. He has played a considerable amount of defensive snaps in his first five seasons, but the Giants have a deep defensive-back corps, so he'll have a tougher time earning time there.

Blake missed Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, James Kratch of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It isn't clear when he'll be back in action.
