The New York Giants wrapped up their fourth consecutive day of workouts at their 2026 training camp in West Virginia on Saturday afternoon.
How did it go?
"Great day," head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after practice. "Very pleased with the effort. We'll have a day off tomorrow. We'll be back at it on Monday, so that's our schedule. Happy with where we're at."
The Giants will take Sunday off and hit the ground again in full pads on Monday. Harbaugh said don't expect too many changes. His practices thus far have been described as "relentless" and fast-paced.
"It'll be a very similar practice. It'll just change the tempo of the period," Harbaugh said. "Without the pads, you're not wrapping. We’re not going to be tackling to the ground on Monday.
We’ll be doing what we call wrap and release. We're trying to stop the ball carrier if we can on defense and get the pads behind us on offense, things like that. I’m sure inside will be a little more physical than it is out here without the shoulder pads. It just ramps up just a little bit. But other than that, everything will be exactly the same."
He was asked if there were any plans to allow full tackling at practice.
"We might. There'll be certain guys, maybe the younger guys, before the first preseason game, perhaps. We'll see where we're at," Harbaugh added.
As expected, training camp isn't the same vacation as it had been under previous coaches.
