NY Giants’ joint practice with the Miami Dolphins went well as Abdul Carter vowed to become the greatest and rookie Malachi Fields made an impression, while John Harbaugh reshapes the Giants’ special-teams unit with new specialists and competition at kicker/long snapper, alongside broader notes about roster turnover and ongoing trade chatter around Kayvon Thibodeaux.
During a Dolphins-Giants joint practice, right tackle Austin Jackson threw a punch and was immediately ejected, underscoring head coach Jeff Hafley's emphasis on discipline even as the teams push for physicality ahead of Saturday's preseason meeting; the incident limited Jackson's reps and highlighted ongoing skirmishes, but no other punches were reported.
Jacksonville is trading for guard Daniel Faalele from the New York Giants in exchange for a 2027 late-round pick, adding a veteran body at right guard as Patrick Mekari recovers from back surgery. Faalele, a 6-foot-8, 370-pound blocker who started every Ravens game in 2024-25, joins a Jaguars guard group that includes Wyatt Milum and Emmanuel Pregnon. The Giants, who drafted Francis Mauigoa at No. 10 and plan Runyan Jr. at left guard, clear cap space with the move.
The New York Giants signed running back Najee Harris, who says he has a lot to prove coming back from a torn Achilles and is hopeful he can regain his form and earn backfield snaps after four Steelers seasons with 1,000 rushing yards each, ahead of contributing for New York as he returns to football.
The New York Giants signed running back Najee Harris to a one-year deal after he visited the team on Monday, with Greg Roman on staff; Harris would join a crowded backfield as RB3 behind Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy, with Devin Singletary also in the mix, and could see occasional carries if healthy. At 28, Harris is coming back from a torn Achilles last season but previously posted four 1,000-yard campaigns with the Steelers, offering veteran depth and upside.
The New York Giants are reportedly signing running back Najee Harris, which is expected to trigger the release of JuJu Smith-Schuster, who joined the Giants in June and is currently a fourth-string receiver after not playing in the first preseason game. Smith-Schuster had 33 catches for 345 yards and a TD with the Chiefs in 2025, and Harris previously played with the Steelers.
The New York Giants are signing Najee Harris, the Steelers’ four-time 1,000-yard back, after his Achilles tear with the Chargers; Harris, 28, worked out Monday and could join a backfield led by Devin Singletary, with Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy also in the mix. Not a speed back, Harris is a 6’1”, 242-pound between-the-tackles runner who, if fully recovered, could challenge Tracy for the primary No. 2 behind Singletary in a potential timeshare with Skattebo. The move comes as the Giants waived/injured Dante Miller. News was first reported by Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo and confirmed by the Giants.
The New York Giants signed veteran running back Najee Harris to a one-year contract after Harris visited the team on Monday. A 2021 first-round pick, Harris suffered a torn Achilles with the Chargers last season but previously posted 1,000+ rushing yards in each of his first four seasons with Pittsburgh, including 1,043 rushing yards, six touchdowns and 36 receptions in 2024, and he’ll look to contribute in the NFC East in 2026.
In the Giants’ preseason opener, Jaxson Dart absorbed a brutal, unblocked hit from Vikings safety Jay Ward after Tyrone Tracy Jr. failed to chip the rusher, leaving Dart being evaluated in the medical tent and underscoring ongoing durability concerns even as New York searches for a long-term quarterback option.
Giants WR Malik Nabers says he isn’t at full speed yet while returning from ACL rehab, after taking part in 11-on-11 drills for the first time in camp; he avoided the PUP list, still wears a red non-contact jersey, and if his progress continues he looks on track for Week 1.
New York Giants cornerback Sam Webb retired days after signing, ending a brief stint that included 14 preseason snaps. The undrafted free agent who played for the Raiders, Panthers and Browns had a stint in Broncos camp this summer as the Giants sought depth amid injuries.
New York Giants cornerback Sam Webb, 28, retires days after signing with the team, after appearing in 14 preseason snaps against the Minnesota Vikings; he was placed on the Reserve/Retired List shortly after the game. Webb previously spent time with the Raiders, Panthers and Browns.
Cornerback Sam Webb retired four days after signing with the New York Giants, after appearing in 14 preseason snaps and being placed on the NFL reserve/retired list; Webb, 28, has played 36 NFL games across the Raiders, Panthers and Browns. With Giants dealing with cornerback injuries, the team will likely search again for help at that position and may look for running back depth after Dante Miller's injury news. The Giants will practice Monday and Tuesday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center before a joint practice in Miami with the Dolphins.
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart’s preseason visit to the sideline medical tent after a sack raises questions about his health, as Ravens coach John Harbaugh suggested that Dart’s past injury history may influence such decisions, and stressed the need for better protection as Dart continues to play. Harbaugh also criticized the blocking that allowed the hit, while noting it’s not about blaming the league but about protecting players and continuing to improve.
In the Giants’ preseason opener against the Vikings, Jaxson Dart was sent to the blue medical tent after a hard hit, returned to throw a touchdown on the next play, and afterward said he’s puzzled by how often he ends up in the tent. The NFL concussion protocol and required medical checks mean such visits are common, and Dart acknowledged the experience but hinted there’s little he can do to avoid it. The episode echoes past league scrutiny of medical evaluations but doesn’t suggest targeting—it's likely routine procedure with closer monitoring to come.
