Brian Daboll grows heated over Giants' training camp penalty flags
Observations from the Giants' training camp on Monday: Green's Day CB Art Green made an athletic one-handed interception on a deep pass down the right side from Jameis Winston intended for WR Jordan Bly. The pass was slightly underthrown and Green's anticipation created a turnover. Brian Daboll yelling during practice at the Giants Training Facility.

One time, with Winston behind center, penalty flags were dropped for a false start and Brian Daboll was furious. 'Wake the (expletive) up!'' he screamed.

Giants place Bryce Ford-Wheaton on injured reserve after torn achilles tendon, sign Gunner Olszewski
The New York Giants placed wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton on injured reserve Monday, a day after he tore an Achilles tendon during practice at training camp. Veteran wide receiver Gunner Olzsewski, a special teams standout, was signed to take Ford-Wheaton's spot on the roster. The 25-year-old Ford-Wheaton, in his third season with the Giants, went down Sunday on a play in which there was no contact. He got up, took a few steps, and then slammed his helmet to the grass and sat down while trainers attended to him. Ford-Wheaton, who was carted from the field, missed his entire rookie season in 2023 when he tore an ACL in a preseason game against the Jets. 'Man, my heart aches for that man,' coach Brian Daboll said before practice Monday. 'He's done everything he could do to get back. He's a very good special teams player for us and was having a good camp from working back from his injury. … That's the tough part of this business – probably one of the worst is seeing these guys go down that have put so much time and effort and energy into getting back, and we'll certainly miss him.' Ford-Wheaton, who signed as an undrafted free agent out of West Virginia, returned last season from his torn ACL and played a key role on special teams for the Giants. He returned a blocked field goal 60 yards for a touchdown in a win over Seattle in Week 5. 'I'd be lying if I said I wasn't devastated!' Ford-Wheaton wrote on X on Sunday. 'I did everything by the book! Didn't take a single shortcut, left no stone unturned, invested everything into my body and my health this year. I'm not sure why me, but I promise I'm not going out on these terms. It's a long road ahead for sure, but I know this is just part of God's plan for me no matter how tough it may seem right now. Thank you all for your prayers, please continue to keep me in them. I WILL be back that's a promise!! God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers!' Olszewski returns to the Giants after spending most of the past two seasons in New York. He injured his groin before the season opener last year and was placed on injured reserve. Olszewski, an All-Pro in 2020 after leading the NFL in punt return yards with New England, played his first three seasons with the Patriots after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Bemidji State in 2019. He signed with Pittsburgh in 2022 and was released during the 2023 season before the Giants signed him to their practice squad.

The common approach fueling Giants' ironic Jaxson Dart-Jameis Winston quarterback battle
They both want the same thing. They both want to play. For one, urgency is a nonfactor. Jaxson Dart, the 25th pick in the first round this past spring and very possibly Giants head coach Brian Daboll's ticket to longevity as the leader for the Mara-Tisch-led franchise, is essentially on scholarship this season.

Giants' Daboll: Jaxson Dart's camp 'much like all the rookies'
July 27 - The New York Giants have one of the deeper and more intriguing quarterback rooms in the NFL, but coach Brian Daboll is firm in his stance that Russell Wilson is the team's starter. The Giants signed veteran Jameis Winston, selected Jaxson Dart in the first round and also have Tommy DeVito entering his third NFL season. But Wilson has continued to validate why Daboll put any quarterback controversy to rest by naming him the starter last week. "He's done this for a long time. He's had a really good camp since he's been here. And then the other three guys have done a great job too," Daboll said. "I like our quarterback room. They're working hard, they're going out every day. They're doing the things they need to do. It's a good group to be around." Dart was selected with the 25th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss, but is not yet ready to threaten Wilson, the 10-time Pro Bowl selection who signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract in March. Dart is still learning the ropes of the NFL as he goes through his first training camp. "Much like all the rookies, first training camp, some good, some things to improve on, but he's got the right mindset," Daboll said. "He's here real late. He works. It's good to see him kind of finish a drive two days ago, throwing it where he needs to throw it, keep working with him." With three veterans along with Dart, one of the biggest challenges is splitting practice snaps. The Giants need to get Winston prepared as Wilson's likely backup to begin the season, but Daboll also needs to develop Dart. That leads to situations like in Friday's practice where Winston gave way to Dart during a late offensive drive. "I think Kaf (Mike Kafka) and Shane (Bowen) have done a nice job of divvying up the reps the way we need to divvy them up," Daboll said. "Sometimes they don't even know when they're going in or the offensive coaches don't know when I'm switching them either. "That was a situation there at the end where Jameis was taking a rack and I just threw Dart in there. Try to keep the coaches on their toes and the quarterbacks so they can practice numerous situations." Daboll isn't committing to Winston as the primary backup just four days into training camp, but he did note the former No. 1 overall pick's confidence in his arm and fearlessness in pushing the ball downfield. Winston has thrown 111 career interceptions to go with 154 touchdowns, but is known for his ability to shake off mistakes. Daboll called it a "no fear mentality," but also said the coaching staff continues to work on Winston's footwork, timing and overall grasp of the offense. Not all that much different than Dart, who Daboll will continue to be creative with in how he develops during camp. "Whether it's a situation or putting him in after a bad play or giving him a pressure that he might have not seen. You try to give him as much as you can give him so that each day you can learn from it," Daboll said. "If there's a good play that you have, you go ahead and give him positive reinforcement. And when there's a play that maybe wasn't executed the exact right way, you try to get another look at that sometime down the line and keep (tabs) on where they're at. "We do that with all the quarterbacks, but certainly with Jaxson." --Field Level Media

New York Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 3
The New York Giants battled each other and the oppressive heat at Day 3 of their 2025 training camp out at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in New Jersey on Friday. Here are some takeaways from the workout. Burns, Robinson collide in team drills Linebacker Brian Burns and wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson collided in practice and were assisted off the field. Although it's a non-contact practice, you can see the competitiveness of the roster so far in camp. As of the end of practice, there was no word on the condition of either player. Hyatt sits out practice Third-year wideout Jalin Hyatt, whose practice ended early on Thursday with leg cramps, was held out on Friday as a precaution. Hyatt, who is vying for more targets and playing time this season, needs to be on the field a much as possible this summer, so this is not helping his cause. Daboll on Abdul Carter: 'He can get better' Head coach Brian Daboll was asked what he saw from rookie linebacker Abdul Carter on Thursday. "I saw a lot of good plays, and I saw some plays that he can certainly get better at. When you're taking a player that high, you expect that from that player," he said. Carter has been lined up in multiple roles so far, and one can just see that he's not your run-of-the-mill player. He's special. Theo, Tracy bigger, better, quicker, smarter Two second-year players the Giants are hoping will elevate to star status are tight end Theo Johnson and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. On Friday, Daboll had some positive things to say about both. Dart, Skattebo becoming BFFs Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and fellow rookie running back Cam Skattebo came out on the field wearing one another's jerseys on Friday. The two have formed a friendship that is spilling out into drills. Skattebo is not only a tough inside runner, but he is a solid receiver, as he displayed once again at camp. JMS struggling It was a rough day for center John Michael Schmitz, who had multiple bad snaps on Friday -- several leading to some chaos. In total, JMS had four bad snaps, which is a legitimate concern if it persists into the season. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 3
