10 takeaways from Day 3

The New York Giants were back on the field for their third day of training camp practices on Friday and have just one more to go before a scheduled day off on Sunday.

Head coach Brian Daboll kicked things off with a press conference recapping the first two days and setting the stage for what lay ahead.

Here are 10 quick takeaways from Friday’s two-hour practice.

Wan’Dale Robinson uninjured

Rookie wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson left Thursday’s practice after getting shaking up during a scramble drill.

Robinson hauled in a pass and got hit by cornerback Aaron Robinson. The rookie landed hard, left practice and did not return. However, Daboll says the issue is minor, Robinson is fine and he was back on the field on Friday.

Heat exhaustion

With temperatures in the 90s and the heat index nearing or over 100 degrees in East Rutherford this week, the Giants chose to shut some players down on Friday.

Those sitting on the side included center Jon Feliciano, who Daboll said was suffering from heat exhaustion.

Jamil Douglas stepped in and took first-team reps at center.

All of the players who missed Friday’s practice due to the heat are expected back on Saturday.

Xavier McKinney calling plays

Safety Xavier McKinney was given the opportunity to call plays during Thursday’s practice and according to Daboll, he handled the responsibility well.

But McKinney wasn’t alone. Daboll wants to get several players comfortable with the task in the event they get thrust into it due to injury or some other reason.

Expect to see more of this as camp wears on.

Fan recording banned

Reporters and fans were permitted to record the team’s first training camp practice on Wednesday. Media then had their recording availability limited during team periods on Thursday.

On Friday, the recording rules for team periods applied to both the media and fans.

This is not an uncommon practice but one largely forgotten about since the Giants haven’t had fans at camp since 2019.
