After a positive start to training camp since tearing his ACL, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports, “Malik Nabers did less today than he had been.” He also added, “He worked on the side for a bit, then walked inside with a doctor an hour into practice.”

Concluding the Giants training camp held in West Virginia, Jordan Raanan of ESPN named Isaiah Likely one of the teams’ standouts. He called Likely "Jaxson Dart's No. 1 target."

ESPN's Jordan Raanan believes WR Malik Nabers is "trending towards being ready Week 1 for the Dallas Cowboys." Nabers has participated in 9 of 10 training camp practices so far, per Raanan, and "looked better as the summer progressed." Nabers is expected to join 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work within the next couple of weeks.

Giants beat writer Dan Duggan called TE Isaiah Likely "the most consistent offensive player" on the team. "[I'd] be very surprised if he's not a very reliable option," Duggan added.

Giants WR Malik Nabers opened training camp in individual drills, and ESPN's Jordan Raanan said he “looked good” in videos of him running. Nabers tore multiple ligaments in his knee in the second quarter of the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Earlier this year, he underwent a scar-tissue cleanup procedure on the knee, but with him back on the field this early, Week 1 looks like a strong possibility.

The Giants are not placing WR Malik Nabers on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp, according to multiple reports.

Training camp should give us a clearer read on Giants WR Malik Nabers’ return to action. But there’s reason to question his readiness, especially with the team offering few useful details. Nabers tore the ACL and meniscus in his right knee last September. Earlier this year, he underwent a scar-tissue cleanup procedure that might have been more significant than the label suggests.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart's mobility fueled big rushing production last year, but it also led to plenty of bumps and bruises. It doesn't sound like New York's new coaching staff plans to rein in the rushing, though. HC John Harbaugh said on The Dominique Foxworth Show that Dart's dual-threat ability will allow the Giants offense to do “a lot of the stuff that we did in Baltimore with Lamar [Jackson]."

The Giants are signing WR Odell Beckham Jr., according to multiple reports. Beckham started his pro career in New York, where he averaged 1,374 yards and 11.7 TDs over his first three seasons. Injuries have been a problem since, most notably a fractured ankle in 2017 and a torn ACL in 2020. Beckham was traded to Cleveland in between those two injuries in 2019. He also bounced to the Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins over the past few seasons. Beckham now re-joins the Giants, who have a rehabbing Malik Nabers and very little else at WR.

Giants HC John Harbaugh admitted Thursday that WR Malik Nabers (knee) is uncertain for the start of the season. "If he's out there, great. [If] he's not out there, great. You know, we'll be ready to go either way," Harbaugh said. "But I know he's fighting like crazy to do his best to be out there, and he's with the guys every day."

Giants WR Malik Nabers underwent a second surgery on the knee he injured last September, The Athletic's Dan Duggan reports. The procedure took place "multiple weeks ago" and removed scar tissue that was causing stiffness, per Duggan. "This second surgery isn't expected to impact Nabers' recovery timeline. The team is still hoping the No. 1 WR will be ready for the opener," Duggan adds.

Giants third-round WR Malachi Fields stood out at rookie minicamp, with ESPN’s Jordan Raanan highlighting his work over the middle and HC John Harbaugh praising his slants and a contested catch over a defender.

Giants WR Darius Slayton recently underwent surgery to address a core-muscle injury, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Slayton will miss spring workouts but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Garafolo adds.

The New York Giants selected Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields with the 74th pick overall in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Fields bet on himself after earning third-team All-ACC honors at Virginia in 2024 (58-808-5), transferring to Notre Dame for his fifth season. The spotlight got brighter, but the production didn’t. Fields tallied 36 catches, 640 yards, and 5 TDs for a run-leaning offense. He ranked second on the team in target share, reception share, and receiving yards share. Fields’ statistical decline raised questions about how much situation drove his earlier output. But his traits still demand attention. At 6’4 and 220 pounds, Fields looks the part of an NFL boundary receiver. He brings a wide catch radius, dependable hands in space, and better run-after-catch ability than most receivers his size.

Ohio State LB Arvell Reese landed with the Giants as the fifth pick of the NFL Draft. Reese figures to play primarily on the edge in the pros but has seen limited action in that spot to date.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo said on a recent appearance on the Rich Eisen Show that he's running at about 75% as he works back from his right leg and ankle injuries. "I can get away from like a baby hippo, maybe," Skattebo added. "That's about it. But, yeah, a little bit over a jog. Just kind of striding out, not exploding yet and getting into that part of the game, but the jog and the striding." Skattebo expects to be back to 100% in "about a month" and ready to go for training camp.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Giants are expected to sign WR Darnell Mooney to a one-year deal worth "up to" $10 million. Mooney spent the past two years with the Falcons after arriving as a free agent, but the team released him ahead of the final season of that contract. He played his first four years in Chicago, where Mooney interestingly posted his two largest reception-per-game rates in his first and second seasons (3.8 and 4.8).

The Giants are expected to sign TE Isaiah Likely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he's getting a three-year deal worth $40 million, "with upside to $47.5M." Likely spent his first four seasons with the Ravens after arriving as a fourth-round pick in 2022. This is his first shot at free agency.

The Bears are releasing LB Tremain Edmunds, according to multiple reports. The move snips the final season of a four-year contract and saves the team about $15 million in cap space. Edmunds started 45 of a possible 51 games across his three years with Chicago.

The Falcons are planning to release WR Darnell Mooney, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mooney was set to count $18.4 million against the salary cap in 2026. The Falcons will save $7.42 million with the move.
