Beckham Jr. Shines Back With Giants as Day 2 Minicamp Highlights Include Edmunds INTs

Odell Beckham Jr. capped Day 2 of the Giants’ minicamp with a long touchdown on a pass from Jaxson Dart after his return to the team, with Calvin Austin III also scoring in the session. Tremaine Edmunds anchored the defense by snagging another interception, part of a day that saw Elijah Campbell, Nic Jones, Deonte Banks and Greg Newsome II also pick passes. Running back Cam Skattebo returned to team drills, receiving praise from coach John Harbaugh as a downhill, tough runner. Offensively, Dart connected for TDs to JuJu Smith‑Schuster and Tanner Conner (and Isaiah Likely in red-zone work), while Darnell Mooney added a red-zone score. Edge players Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux had sacks, and BYU rookie Jack Kelly contributed a sack in pressure situations. The Giants’ spring activities wrap with a mental-sweat session on Wednesday before training camp, which is relocating due to East Rutherford renovations, with Beckham framing this as a renewed opportunity.

Dart’s Trump moment tests the Giants’ unity and the politics of sports

An SB Nation opinion piece argues Jaxson Dart’s choice to appear with President Trump was his right, but it has sparked backlash within the Giants’ locker room, notably from Abdul Carter, who challenges Dart’s motives and how teammates view him. The article notes the long history of uneven consequences for athletes of color who engage in politics, contrasts that with the relatively minor PR fallout Dart has faced, and says the Giants want to move past the controversy as they focus on the 2026 season, with Dart and backup QB Jameis Winston working to unite the team.
