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.
