Summary
Saturday’s preseason opener against Minnesota marks John Harbaugh’s first game on the Giants sideline, seven months after he became the franchise’s 21st head coach.
Harbaugh arrives after a road camp that included 10 practices in 11 days at The Greenbrier, with the Giants now back at their renovated headquarters and emphasizing technique and execution.
Jaxson Dart and the starters remain a game-time mystery because Harbaugh declined to detail playing time, saying the team has a player-by-player preseason plan; receiver Jalin Hyatt was ruled out.
Malik Nabers advanced by joining team drills in a red non-contact jersey, while rookies led by top-10 picks Arvell Reese and Sisi Mauigoa get their first game audition.
Roster battles extend beyond quarterback, with Dominic Zvada boosting the kicking competition by drilling a 62-yard practice field goal and Odell Beckham Jr. opening his bid to make the team he last played for in 2018.
