2026 Spring Practices

TDs & takeaways from second day of minicamp

TREMAINE-EDMUNDS-BOBS

Next stop: West Virginia.

Minicamp is all but over for the Giants, who practiced Monday and Tuesday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. The Giants wrap up spring football with a "mental sweat" practice on Wednesday, and then they will break until training camp, which is being relocated due to facility renovations in East Rutherford.

"Effort is high," Harbaugh said after practice. "Attention to detail is high. We got better throughout the course of the minicamp. All the way back to the first day back in the offseason program, we've improved dramatically. We have a long way to go, but now our arrow is pointing towards training camp. So, we'll have more of a mental sweat type of practice tomorrow, and then the guys will be away until training camp. I'm proud of the guys. They've done a nice job, and onto the next thing."

But first, here is everything you need to know from the final practice of spring.

Odell 2.0

Odell Beckham Jr. scored the first touchdown of the day in team drills, taking advantage of a broken coverage on a long pass from Jaxson Dart.

"I look at it like this: God has given me one more opportunity to play," Beckham said after he returned to the Giants last week. "Whatever I do with that is that. I'm not saying this is my only year and I'm not saying that I've got five more for you. I'm just looking at it like this is my opportunity now. We'll see where it goes from there."

Shortly after, Dart went deep again to wide receiver Calvin Austin III for a score.

Tremaine Edmunds leads interception haul

Edmunds'14 career interceptions and 59 passes defensed lead all NFL linebackers since he began his career in 2018. We saw a snapshot of that in practice today when the 6-foot-4, 251-pound veteran snagged a pass over the middle for the takeaway.

With Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson in attendance yesterday, the improved linebacker corps has been a main topic of conversation at minicamp.

"I think honestly it put guys in position to make plays," Edmunds said of the defense. "It's not just robots, you know what I mean. You can move around, guys can get different looks, line up at different spots and still do what they do well. It gives a lot of players the ability to show their athleticism and ultimately just make plays."

Also notching interceptions on Tuesday were defensive backs Elijah Campbell, Nic Jones (off a tipped pass), Deonte Banks, and Greg Newsome II.

Skattebo participates in team drills

Running back Cam Skattebo, whose sensational rookie season was cut in half due to a gruesome ankle injury, participated in team drills today. He took some handoffs and even caught a pass from Dart, his 2025 draft classmate.

"I'm confident Cam will be back," Harbaugh said. "He's working hard. You saw him out there taking team reps today. That was during the team period. That was really good to see."

Harbaugh was asked what he saw from the rookie last season.

"I thought he was just what you saw – a downhill runner, a tone-setter type runner," Harbaugh said. "He's a tough tackle. That's what you look for. How many guys can make yards when they're not supposed to make yards on their own? It seems to me he was that kind of guy at Arizona State and the exact same guy that I saw on tape last year. You guys know better. You watched him up close and personal. He's a top-tier back, and he's planning on playing that way this year."

Best of the rest

Dart also threw touchdowns to wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and tight ends Tanner Conner and Isaiah Likely, the last of which was during a goal-to-go situation.

Darnell Mooney, another veteran wide receiver, made a nice catch in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown during a red zone period.

Outside linebackers Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux had at least one would-be sack apiece. Rookie Jack Kelly, a sixth-round pick from BYU, also got in the mix with a sack on a blitz.
