Highlights from the Giants’ practice session on Wednesday:
Something good
Isaiah Hodgins, the standout receiver during the 2022 playoffs and often overlooked in current discussions, delivered an impressive performance on Wednesday. He executed a remarkable one-handed catch near the sideline, keeping himself inbounds before tumbling outward. Hodgins also successfully caught a two-point conversion pass. Meanwhile, Darnell Mooney and Odell Beckham were significantly active as well, with Beckham executing a touchdown catch on a familiar route, reminiscent of his end-zone drop against the Dolphins.
Something bad
During the move-the-ball drill, the Giants faced challenges with their timing, committing two false starts. Quarterback Jaxson Dart’s attempts to utilize a hard count seem to be causing more confusion than advantage.
Caught my eye
Although the Giants managed to navigate training camp without any internal altercations, tensions did rise somewhat on Wednesday. Running back Cam Skattebo found himself in a heated exchange with defensive backs Greg Newsome and Jevon Holland, prompting intervention to de-escalate the situation. Additionally, Brian Burns engaged in a post-whistle discussion with coach John Harbaugh. Despite the earlier friction, Skattebo later approached the defensive sideline in a gesture of reconciliation.
Injury report
WR Malik Nabers unexpectedly left practice during the final drill – walking side-by-side with return-to0play coordinator Allie Boudreau into the facility – but Harbaugh said he would have heard after practice if there was an injury. DT Shelby Harris worked on the side with a trainer during team drills. Theo Johnson (shoulder) came out to practice late and watched from the sideline. RG Sisi Maugioa and RT Jermaine Eluemunor returned to full participants.
