Harbaugh Tightens Giants’ Camp as Team Returns to Quest for Final Evaluations
The move signals a push to speed player development through hard, live work so coaches can set the roster before the preseason and Week 1.
Overview
- The Giants finished a 12-day stint at The Greenbrier that included the maximum allowed padded practices and have shifted camp back to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center for follow-up work.
- John Harbaugh is running a deliberately tougher, physical program to change team culture and build resilience through higher‑intensity practice and accountability.
- Coordinators Matt Nagy, Dennard Wilson and Chris Horton are handling media duties while evaluations continue and Harbaugh focuses on internal preparation.
- Defensive play against the run has shown clear improvement in live drills, with veteran nose tackle DJ Reader and rookie linebacker Arvell Reese receiving positive reviews for technique and physicality.
- Quarterback Jaxson Dart has made noticeable progress in key reps, and injuries to linemen have opened snaps for depth players such as Bryan Hudson as the club readies for the preseason game versus Minnesota and the Sept. 13 opener versus Dallas.
