Core Event
The New York Giants completed their fourth consecutive summer practice on Saturday at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The session, the third open to the public, drew a sizable crowd despite being more than 450 miles from MetLife Stadium. Temperatures hovered near 80 °F with humidity rising as rain was forecast for the evening.
Background & Context
Head Coach John Harbaugh is in his first season leading the Giants, and the team continues to use the Greenbrier location for its preseason camp. The open-practice format lets fans observe roster development early in the offseason.
Data & Statistics

- Defensive drills: Four stations focused on fumble recovery and three “ball-attacking” drills—punch, grab-pull, and a pass-rush simulation on a moving dummy.
- Offensive highlights: Quarterback Jaxson Dart connected on a deep pass to rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields for a touchdown, beating cornerback Greg Newsome. Dart completed 14 of 24 passes in team drills, including one interception, and was 9-of-11 with a touchdown and an interception in 7-on-7 play.
- Passing game: Jameis Winston threw an 18-yard touchdown to Odell Beckham Jr. and was intercepted by safety Colton Hood (the play was called back for offsides).

Official Statements & Responses
Harbaugh indicated the Giants will have a day off on Sunday and will resume full-pad practice on Monday. He said he will consult trainers on Nabers’ progress and expects the player to be “generally on schedule” for a return.
On-the-Ground Reports
Fans filled the four bleachers and lined the practice-field fences, creating a lively atmosphere that the organization highlighted as “impressive” given the distance from the team’s home stadium. Observers noted the rope-aligned kickoff system and defensive stations as innovative methods for teaching spacing and ball security.
What’s Next
The Giants will not practice on Sunday. Practice resumes on Monday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., a closed session. Head Coach Harbaugh and select players are scheduled to address the media during Monday’s session.
