Big Blue View

Odell Beckham Jr., 33 years old, is competing to make the Giants roster. Pinnock observed that Beckham hasn't lost a step athletically from what he watched in high school (2016–17), and if Beckham continues to step up in practice, he has a good chance of making the team.

Long-shot candidate for the 53-man roster. Preseason game performance will be critical for roster contention.

Second-year quarterback learning a new scheme under John Harbaugh, who values first-team reps for player development but acknowledges the risk involved. Harbaugh has an individualized plan 'by guy' for preseason snaps; Dart is expected to see some playing time vs. the Vikings despite Harbaugh's reluctance to commit to starter reps.

Incumbent starter tight end at Giants; comparison point for Isaiah Likely's camp performance. Likely's ability to smoothly get in and out of breaks has looked different from Johnson, suggesting Likely may have edge in competition.

Notable acquisition viewed by Giants players as elite-caliber talent; teammates in awe of him as both player and teammate. Player Winston noted: 'I think as a player, he's still the same caliber player' and praised his work ethic and focus on improvement. Young players on roster are Odell Beckham Jr. fans (Jalin Hyatt chose jersey 13 as OBJ fan), and Beckham is having positive influence on teammates like Malachi Fields. Listed as third-teamer on Giants' unofficial depth chart.

Running back facing question about whether he can carry the load in Giants' rushing attack. Context: Giants finished 18th in yards per carry (4.3), 25th in rushing success rate, and 16th in explosive run rate last year; when removing QB runs, fell to 25th in yards per carry (4.0), 27th in rushing success rate, and 20th in explosive run rate, raising questions about whether Giants have necessary components for ground game effectiveness.

Not participating in team drills during Day 14 of Giants training camp, which has opened opportunity for Isaiah Likely to emerge as the Giants' No. 1 receiver during the offseason acquisition's strong camp performance.

Offseason acquisition has emerged as Giants' No. 1 receiver during training camp with Malik Nabers sidelined from team drills; leading all first-team receivers in catches by a wide margin. Smoothly gets in and out of breaks in a way that looks different from incumbent starter Theo Johnson. Has best handle on new offense given familiarity with coach John Harbaugh and senior offensive assistant Greg Roman from Baltimore. Given Dart's preference to throw to tight ends and chemistry already developed, Likely is positioned for a breakout season.

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was limited in practice due to a knee injury, restricting his participation in team drills.

Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt did not practice due to a leg injury, remaining unavailable for team drills.

Running back Cam Skattebo was actively participating in running back drills during practice, indicating continued involvement in offensive work.

Wide receiver Malik Nabers expanded his participation in practice by wearing a red 'no contact' jersey and participating in some team periods for the first time; head coach John Harbaugh called this a 'milestone' for the team, signaling meaningful progress in his return from injury.

Deep sleeper rookie receiver with ECR of 210 or lower; included in JJ Zachariason's deep sleeper tier for receivers, with the caveat that rookie receivers often pop in the second half of the season.
