The New York Giants were back out on the field at their 2025 training camp after a day off on Wednesday. The heat has subsided, but only slightly, and the humidity is still high as storms were brewing in the area.
Here are six quick takeaways from Thursday’s workout.
Back to shirts and shorts
After two consecutive padded practices, the Giants were back in just jerseys and shorts.
Giants won’t be in full pads today. Gearing back after two grueling practices before yesterday’s off day.

Nabers back on the field
Wide receiver Malik Nabers, who left Tuesday’s workout with a shoulder issue, was back on the field on Thursday. Head coach Brian Daboll didn’t commit to any particular workload, just stating Nabers would do “some stuff.”
Giants WR Malik Nabers (shoulder) will practice today, according to coach Brian Daboll.
Sounds like he might be a little limited in the short term, though.
“We’ll put him out there and he’ll do what he can do,” Daboll said. “He’s OK. We’ll have a plan.” pic.twitter.com/QyLBSXVQ4f

Nabers ended up taking on almost a full practice load and didn’t appear hampered in the least, making several big-time catches.
Tom Coughlin back at practice
Former Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, who delivered an inspirational speech to the team after Tuesday’s practice, was back for more on Thursday.
Two takeaways: He has resolved any issues he had with the owners, and he must see something he likes in this team.
Coughlin was seen holding a paper in his hand (likely a roster sheet with numbers). A neutral visitor really doesn’t need that information. Is he here for more than just a visit?

Skattebo not participating in drills
Rookie running back Cam Skattebo, who lit up the crowd earlier in the week with some electrifying plays, was not participating in team drills on Thursday, leading to speculation that he might be nursing some type of injury.
Jalin Hyatt and Tre Hawkins also back on 11v11. But Cam Skattebo remains on the side, so clearly dealing with some type of injury.

Nabers shines again
As noted earlier, Nabers was only going to do “some stuff” on Thursday, per head coach Brian Daboll. He has shoulder and toe issues going on, but apparently, that isn’t holding him back. Just ask cornerback Cor’Dale Flott…

Sloppy practice and punishment
The Giants have been rather sloppy on both sides of the ball throughout training camp, and that continued on Thursday with at least six pre-snap penalties. Understandably, head coach Brian Daboll wasn’t pleased.
Almost fittingly, with Coughlin in the house, Giants players were forced to run sprints and gassers after practice as punishment.
Now they’re doing gassers. Brian “Bear” Daboll! https://t.co/mpJ147hT8P

This has been a persistent issue in training camp and one of the only true negatives thus far.
