GiantsBrian Daboll Clarifies ‘Medical People’ Remark as Scrutiny Mounts

He sought to cool the fallout by stressing that practice‑surface calls involve more than the medical team.

Overview

  • On Friday, Brian Daboll said he is "absolutely not" displeased with the staff referenced in his air‑quotes comment about the Giants’ “medical people.”
  • He outlined that practice and field decisions include input from coaching operations, grounds, equipment, athletic training, and player performance leaders.
  • The clarification followed his Thursday explanation for holding a wet outdoor session, when he used air quotes around “medical people” while comparing grass to indoor turf.
  • Daboll is under pressure after an 0-3 start and after asserting that benching Russell Wilson for rookie Jaxson Dart was "my decision," with players saying they learned of the move on social media.
  • Some reporters view his recent posture as distancing from ownership and note his job could be vulnerable, and fans have booked banner planes to fly over MetLife Stadium before Sunday’s game.
