📰 The Giants made a series of injury-related roster moves the day before the first practice. They placed left tackle Andrew Thomas (rehabbing last year’s season-ending foot injury) and running back Eric Gray (knee) on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and outside linebacker Victor Dimukeje (pectoral) on the non-football injury (NFI) list. Safety Anthony Johnson Jr. (shoulder) was waived/injured.
📰 Schoen said Thomas “should be ready for the opener” on Sept. 7 at Washington. “Again, things change,” he added. “You can never be one hundred percent, but we’re going to take it day by day with him. When he is ready, he’ll be out there, but we anticipate him to be ready for the opener.”
📰 Staying on the injury front, wide receiver Malik Nabers was “ready to go” after he missed time in the spring due to a lingering toe issue.
📰 Running back Cam Skattebo and defensive lineman Darius Alexander, two members of the 2025 draft class, are also full-go.
📰 Schoen and Daboll like the “direction the [QB] room is headed.” Russell Wilson is the starter, but what about QB2? “We’re going to go out here, we’re going to practice, guys are going to compete and the roster will be set when the roster’s set,” Daboll responded. “Our goal right now is just to improve each person every day and we’ll take it from there.”
📰 The makeup of the quarterback room, from Wilson to Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito, allows rookie Jaxson Dart to learn from his peers. “I really like the room, so he was in there early, working hard, still learning the offense,” Schoen said about Dart, the 25th overall draft pick. “It’s a lot and you got to know what everybody’s doing, but you saw leadership, you saw arm talent, you saw athleticism and again, he’s a rookie. He’s got a long way to go and again, he’s got a really good supporting cast in there to help. We’ve got a really good coaching staff as well, so he’s in a good spot right now.”
📰 How and when will the Giants know that Dart is ready? Schoen said he will lean on Daboll for those answers. “I can watch practice and you guys can watch it and then you get back and even after games, I get in there with Dabs on a Monday morning or after practice and oh, he was supposed to run this, that wasn’t on Jaxson. So I’m not in the meetings every day, I lean on those guys in our personnel meetings and these guys have been doing it a long time. We’ve got a really good offensive staff and when…
