Training Camp Highlights and Key Updates

The New York Giants' 2025 training camp is in full swing in East Rutherford, New Jersey. With the NFL season approaching, the Giants are focusing on fine-tuning their roster and addressing key player performances and injuries.

Malik Nabers Returns Strong

Wide receiver Malik Nabers made a strong return to the field after recovering from a toe injury that sidelined him during the spring. Nabers, who had an impressive rookie season with 109 receptions and 1,204 yards, caught three touchdown passes from starting quarterback Russell Wilson in the first training camp session. Despite his explosive performance, Nabers acknowledged that his toe injury requires ongoing monitoring. Surgery was considered but ultimately avoided, and he is currently feeling good. However, the injury may need to be managed throughout the season.

Jaxson Dart's Rocky Start

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart had a challenging start to his first training camp. In live drills, Dart completed only 3 of 7 passes, with one interception and one touchdown. His very first pass of the summer was a pick-6 by cornerback Nic Jones. Despite the rough start, veteran quarterback Russell Wilson offered encouragement, advising Dart to focus on the next play.

Andrew Thomas on PUP List

Standout left tackle Andrew Thomas was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as he continues to recover from Lisfranc surgery performed late last year. Thomas missed the final 10 games of the 2024 season and is being brought along slowly by the Giants' medical staff. While there is no definitive timeline for his return, the team is optimistic that he will be ready for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders.

Other Notable Transactions

On the first day of training camp, the Giants also placed running back Eric Gray on the PUP list and outside linebacker Victor Dimukeje on the non-football injury list. Additionally, the team signed safety K'Von Wallace and waived safety Anthony Johnson Jr.

What to Watch

As the Giants continue their training camp, several key storylines will be worth monitoring:

• Quarterback Room Dynamics: How will Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart perform as the season approaches?
• Wide Receiver Battle: Who will emerge as the WR2 behind Malik Nabers?
• Defensive Back Competition: Which players will secure starting roles in the secondary?
• Roster Bubble Players: Which players on the fringe of the roster will make the final 53-man squad?
