Giants Camp — Sep 3: Schoen Is Still Working the Wire
The Giants claimed nobody on waivers, lost only Darius Muasau to New England, and did their post-cutdown work on the practice squad instead — five players from other organizations in two days, three of them offensive linemen. Joe Schoen said Wednesday the team is "still working through the waiver wire" and wants to add on the defensive line. Malik Nabers, in his own words, would not commit to Dallas.

Giants Camp — Aug 31: Harbaugh's First 53 Keeps Beckham
The first 53-man roster of the John Harbaugh era carries four tight ends, fullback Patrick Ricard and five wide receivers, per the team's website, with all seven 2026 draft picks aboard and Evan Neal, Jalin Hyatt and Eric Gray cut. Odell Beckham Jr. made the team, undrafted rookie Dominic Zvada won the kicking job, and Malik Nabers shed the red non-contact jersey — though a Wednesday walk-off and the absence of any Week 1 ruling keep the Dallas opener an open question. Calvin Austin III's torn anterior cruciate ligament ended his season before the cuts began.

New York Giants Camp Update — August 9: Malik Nabers Is Trending Toward Week 1
July's biggest doubt is shrinking: the beat now expects Nabers back in team drills within weeks, trending ready for the Cowboys opener, after his best running-and-cutting day yet. Around him, John Harbaugh is running the most grueling camp the beat has ever watched — and Odell Beckham is trying to make the roster.

New York Giants 2026 Season Preview — Harbaugh Inherits a Bounce
The Giants blew five double-digit leads, went 1-and-7 in one-score games, and played three wins better than 4-and-13 — then hired the coach whose whole career is not doing that; the hype is directionally right, and the price already knows it.
