John Harbaugh offered little insight after Wednesday's practice as the New York Giants began preparations for Sunday night's season opener against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.
Asked for details on availability, starters, and scheme, the Giants coach emphatically declined.
"I'm not going to tell you who is playing in the game. I'm not going to tell you who is starting, what package we have in, what play we're running.

I'm not going to tell you any of that.
So we can make it great and have a great press conference, or we can make it uncomfortable.… pic.twitter.com/RFENIx5Qef
"I'm not going to tell you who is playing in the game. I'm not going to tell you who is starting, what package we have in, what play we're running. I'm not going to tell you any
of that," Harbaugh told reporters. "So we can make it great and have a great press conference, or we can make it uncomfortable.
"I'm not going to tell you because what you know, the Cowboys know, and every other team knows. That's not in the competitive interest of our football team. I think you can respect that."
The session was the first of three practices this week. Harbaugh made one exception for wide receiver Malik Nabers, a full participant after tearing his ACL last season.
"I think he's ready to go, man. We'll see, though. It's still four days until we play," Harbaugh said. "If he's ready to go and he feels like he's ready to go, he'll play."
Wednesday's injury report listed no players as limited or out. Full participants included Nabers (knee), left tackle Andrew Thomas (knee), tight end Theo Johnson (shoulder), defensive lineman Shelby Harris (Achilles) and offensive lineman Bryan Hudson (knee).
Harbaugh's stance was clear: Anything the Cowboys could use stays in-house.
