Giants | Deonte Banks might benefit from aggressive style Sun May 24, 01:27 PM
New York Giants CB Deonte Banks gives up big plays, and he was flagged for many costly penalties. In addition, he continued to make inexcusable mistakes like not turning his head toward the ball. However, the team still has a little faith in him, and he could benefit from the aggressive style of defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. He did not have his option year exercised, however, although he is valuable as a returner. However, the team might want him to be more of a return specialist if he is going to stick around.

New York Giants S Tyler Nubin had a 16.9 percent missed tackle rate in 2025, and he did not record an interception. Additions of CB Ar'Darius Washington and CB Jason Pinnock could mean a shift in Nubin's workload, or his roster status might even be in jeopardy. He split reps with Washington in organized team activities (OTAs).

Giants | Evan Neal fighting for roster spot Sun May 24, 01:19 PM
New York Giants OL Evan Neal was shockingly re-signed to a one-year contract in the offseason despite struggles since he was picked in the 2022 NFL Draft. The team still values his 6-foot-7, 340-pound frame and potential, and hope head coach John Harbaugh will unlock that potential. However, if he is going to stick with the team, it will come at the guard position. He has taken most of his snaps in organized team activities (OTAs) at right guard.
| Footballguys view: Neal and fellow 2022 first round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux have failed to help turn the franchise around after going at the #5 and #7 picks. Now the team is coming off a draft with the #5 and #10 picks and hoping for different results. |
Giants | Colton Hood misses practice Sat May 23, 09:54 PM
New York Giants CB Colton Hood (undisclosed) did not participate in drills during voluntary workouts Thursday, May 21.
Link to story Giants | NYG unsure if Malik Nabers will be ready for the season Sat May 23, 10:25 AM
ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Friday, May 22, that New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) 'don't know if he'll be ready for opening day.'
| Footballguys view: Nabers has a goal to be ready for the start of the season, according to head coach John Harbaugh, but nothing is guaranteed. He's in the building working hard on his recovery, but Nabers is dealing with a knee injury suffered last October that required a second surgery (cleanup) in February. Fantasy GMs will get more clarity on his status when training camp hits in late July. If healthy, Nabers is a top-12 fantasy receiver. |
Giants | Jaxson Dart working on sliding Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart said he has been studying tape of his scrambles with quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan to work on knowing when sliding is the better option.
| Footballguys view: This indicates that the new Giants regime doesn't want Dart to lose his scrambling edge. His added value from running the ball last year isn't fully baked into his ADP, with Dart falling to around QB10 in early drafts. He could be a hit if Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo play like their pre-injury selves in 2026. |
Giants | Andrew Thomas limited Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
New York Giants OT Andrew Thomas (foot, shoulder) received a limited workload during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 21, because he is recovering from foot and shoulder injuries, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Thomas is the best Giants offensive lineman by a good margin, but he has played 29 games in the last three years. His health is a key to the new Nagy/Roman offense getting jumpstarted around Jaxson Dart in his second year. |
Giants | Darius Slayton should be ready for camp Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hernia) should be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing sports hernia surgery this offseason, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: With Malik Nabers unsure for Week 1, Slayton will have a chance to start and be a focal point of the downfield passing game. He'll compete with free agent signing Darnell Mooney, who had the best year of his career under new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in Chicago, and third round pick Malachi Fields. This is a battle to watch in training camp along with Nabers progress in recovery from a second knee surgery. |

Giants | Roy Robertson-Harris out for season Fri May 22, 10:32 AM
New York Giants DT Roy Robertson-Harris (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in organized team activities Thursday, May 21, and will miss the entire 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: The Giants are trying to replace Dexter Lawrence after trading him to the Bengals for the #10 pick of the draft (used to take OT/OG Francis Mauigoa). They also signed DJ Reader and Shelby Harris, but this is a blow to a unit that was already coming into the season much weaker without its long-time leader. |

Giants | Malik Nabers has goal of being ready for start of the season Thu May 21, 02:26 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) has a goal to be ready for the start of the season, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Nabers tore his ACL in early October last year, and he's been on the road to recovery since then. The young receiver did undergo a cleanup procedure earlier this spring, but that's not supposed to interrupt his timeline. Expect to see him out there in training camp, but it might be closer to the end of camp before Nabers gets ramped up. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo aiming for 2,000-yard season Wed May 20, 01:06 AM
Cam Skattebo insists he will be "ready to go" Week 1 as he continues his rehab from a gruesome leg injury. That is good news for the Giants as the running back had 125 carries for 617 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. Skattebo has much bigger goals for his second season. "I do not consider that successful for me," Skattebo said of his rookie season, via Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. "I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it's going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards."
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com points out, nine running backs have had a 2,000-yard season, the most recent coming by Saquon Barkley in 2024. Eric Dickerson owns the NFL record with his 2,105 rushing yards in 1984. Tiki Barber holds the Giants team record with 1,860 rushing yards in 2005. Skattebo's lofty goals might be over the top, but even though he only appeared in eight games last season, Skattebo was RB10 when he was hurt, despite not being a starter until Week 4. His RB20 ADP makes him an appealing play. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo proclaims he's 'ready to go for Week 1' Tue May 19, 12:05 AM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo said that he's 'feeling great' and that he's 'ready to go for Week 1' at New York Giants Town Hall on Monday, May 18.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo's rookie campaign ended in Week 8 last year with a gruesome-looking dislocated ankle injury. He told reporters at the end of last season that he was making progress and even hoped to do some light work in the offseason. That won't be the case, at least not in terms of doing team drills. Even though he feels great, Skattebo is still "a little ways off" from a return to the field. Training camp is still two months away, and the 2026 season is even further out, so we'll continue to monitor. |
Giants | John Harbaugh heaps praise on tight end room Tue May 19, 12:03 AM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh when talking about TE Isaiah Likely, TE Theo Johnson, TE Chris Manhertz, and TE Thomas Fidone II, said, 'there's not a better tight end room in the league,' according to a source on Monday, May 18.
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh coached Likely for four seasons in Baltimore. He knows what Likely can bring to an offense. Likely served as a TE2 in Baltimore behind three-time Pro Bowler Mark Andrews. The Ravens were always at the top of the league in rushing with the two-tight end set. The Giants hope to establish the same offense, and Likely will play a major role along with Johnson. Having Likely and Johnson both on the field would allow the Ravens to run or pass in a variety of looks, and Jaxson Dart would have two athletic mismatches to throw to whenever he wanted. |

Link to story Giants | Malik Nabers had surgically-repaired knee cleaned up Wed May 13, 03:55 PM
Giants WR Malik Nabers underwent a second surgery on his knee to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness, sources tell the Athletic's Dan Duggan.
| Footballguys view: Duggan is told the second surgery took place "multiple weeks ago," and it was described as a "clean up." 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. Fantasy managers, who are drafting him as WR8, seem to share in the Giants' optimism. Nabers first underwent ACL and meniscus surgery on Oct. 28. |

From a fantasy perspective we could see a big play or two in the preseason having Fantasy GMs ready to take Fields with a later-round pick. He's no doubt a player for all to monitor. |

Giants | Arvell Reese to work as linebacker in 2026 Sun May 3, 04:13 PM
New York Giants LB Arvell Reese might have a future as an edge rusher, but the team will use him as an off-the-ball linebacker in his initial NFL campaign. General manager Joe Schoen confirmed the No. 5 overall pick will play an off-ball role, but he could be deployed anywhere in the formation. 'Yeah, he's going to be an off-the-ball linebacker for us and play Will, and I love the versatility,' Schoen said. 'Can he play some edge for us? Absolutely. Can we have him cover tight ends? Absolutely. He can play Will linebacker and play sideline to sideline. He's a freakish athlete with tremendous size and length and violence.'
| Footballguys view: According to Footballguy Sigmund Bloom, Reese's value is going to be very sensitive to your scoring system. We should assume that Reese will have a linebacker designation for now, and if your league starts more linebackers than edge rushers, that's a good thing, unless it is a tackle-heavy scoring system and Reese has EDGE eligibility. "Just like in the draft," Bloom explained, "Reese is a complicated evaluation for fantasy football, but in the end, you should just take him in the second half of the first round if you believe in him." |
Giants | Malachi Fields praised by GM Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields can be a 'power forward' in the wide receiver room because of his size and blocking ability, according to general manager Joe Schoen.
| Footballguys view: Fields absolutely can dominate on contested catches. He might be the best in this rookie class when it comes to wrestling the ball away from smaller defenders. Fields has reliable hands and does a great job showing 'late hands' on deep throws, so the defender is not tipped off to an incoming ball. The third-round pick is a bit buried on the Giants' depth chart, but it may not take long for him to rise in the preseason. |
Giants | Darius Slayton has surgery Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (abdomen) underwent surgery to repair a core muscle and will miss spring activities. He's expected to be ready for training camp.
