10 takeaways from Day 7

The New York Giants returned to the field on Wednesday morning for their final practice ahead of Friday night’s “Fan Fest,” which will feature the Blue & White scrimmage game.

Head coach Brian Daboll once again took the podium to kick things off — a daily press conference he recently referred to as “Groundhog Day.” He recapped the prior today and outlined how the upcoming practice would be structured.

Here are 10 takeaways from Day 7 of training camp practice.

Daboll cautions against getting too high or too low on a player based on their daily performances. Such is the case with quarterback Daniel Jones, who had his best practice of camp on Tuesday.

However, the first-year head coach wasn’t thrilled with the two interceptions — even if one came as a target slipped on his route.

Still, Daboll is pleased with Jones’ overall progress.

Adding onto Jones’ progression within the new system, Daboll was quick to remind reporters that the skill position players are learning a “new language,” too. And given the freedom their route runners enjoy, it’ll take time to build the proper rapport.

There are going to be mistakes in practice as a result of this. The idea is that they each learn from said mistakes and get enough time together on the field that they develop a better feel for each other and their body language.

Feliciano is back

After missing quite a bit of time due to heat-related issues, veteran center Jon Feliciano returned to practice on Wednesday.

Daboll did say they’d watch Feliciano closely and manage him if necessary, but it was a step in the right direction. And it couldn’t come soon enough as the team’s reserves (save for Shane Lemieux) did not instill much confidence in his absence.

It’s unclear if Feliciano will play in Friday night’s scrimmage.

The Giants have been lucky with injuries this summer for the most part. The vast majority have been minor or otherwise inconsequential, but there have been a couple of more significance.
