New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman's cancer is reportedly in remission.

"Dave's doing great, he was here [Tuesday], and he's been doing his treatments," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said. "That's a process that he's going through, but we communicate frequently. We've been in close touch all summer, I didn't do much traveling, so I was here in town and Dave and I communicated quite a bit, actually."

The Giants hired Gettleman as their general manager in December. He has spent nearly two decades with the organization, save for a four-year stint as the Carolina Panthers general manager.

The Giants have had members of Gettleman's staff handling some day-to-day tasks while he's been undergoing treatment.

Shurmur had Gettleman address the team at Wednesday's training camp practice.
