Giants’ Offensive Line Dominates in First Padded Practice

Brian Daboll curbed live tackling following offseason surgeries with rookies stepping into spots left by injuries

Overview

  • The offensive line outmatched the defense in key drills and won the final competitive period, signaling significant improvement in trench play.
  • Starting left tackle Andrew Thomas remained on the physically unable to perform list and sat out the first day in pads.
  • Rookie running back Cam Skattebo received significant first-team reps and burst through gaping holes for strong gains.
  • Backup tackle James Hudson III’s intense block on Kayvon Thibodeaux nearly sparked a fight, illustrating camp’s heightened physicality under restricted tackling rules.
  • Following Bryce Ford-Wheaton’s season-ending ruptured Achilles, the Giants placed him on injured reserve and re-signed punt returner Gunner Olszewski to bolster special teams.
