EAST RUTHERFORD - Odell Beckham Jr. has done all he can, fighting for a roster spot with the New York Giants this summer the way an undrafted rookie would.
Odell Beckham Jr. shows he belongs with Giants in preseason finale
EAST RUTHERFORD - Odell Beckham Jr. did not click the heels of his ruby red cleats, three times for No. 3, but there were some Michael Jackson dance moves from the veteran wide receiver after he picked up a first down. The symbolism behind those shoes shipped to Beckham this week was undeniable afterward. "There's no place like home," Beckham told me as we walked out of the Giants' locker room following Friday's 23-6 victory over the Jets in the preseason finale at MetLife Stadium.

NY Giants roster hopeful nears defining moment in his NFL journey
EAST RUTHERFORD - You probably could have sold tickets, perhaps even getting a few observers to pay market value.

Aug. 27, 2026, 6:07 a.m. ET EAST RUTHERFORD - Somewhere between the end zone inside Hard Rock Stadium and the flight back home from Miami to New Jersey, Odell Beckham Jr. flipped the switch. It's not as if Beckham was taking anything for granted in his quest to make the team and complete this next chapter of his improbable comeback with the New York Giants, because he almost certainly was not.

How Calvin Austin injury affects Giants depth chart at wide receiver Original
Aug. 26, 2026, 4:07 a.m. ET EAST RUTHERFORD - Calvin Austin was carving out a role for himself in the New York Giants' offense before his emergence was abruptly halted by a knee injury the team fears will cost him the season. Austin was praised by Giants coach John Harbaugh just one day earlier for his ability to play all three wide receiver positions, not only in the slot, and he had been coming on as of late with a strong connection with Jaxson Dart.
NY Giants wide receiver suffers non-contact knee injury in practice Original
EAST RUTHERFORD - Just as Calvin Austin was seemingly becoming a bigger part of the New York Giants offense, they are now bracing for significant time without him. One day after Giants coach John Harbaugh raved about the all-around value of his game, Austin suffered what appeared to be a serious non-contact injury to his right leg/knee in Tuesday’s practice.
Why the presence of Malik Nabers is a game changer for the NY Giants Original
Aug. 25, 2026, 4:15 a.m. ET EAST RUTHERFORD - Malik Nabers is no longer seeing red. Which means the end game for the New York Giants and their star wide receiver is almost upon us. Nabers took another step toward being in uniform for the first regular season game of the John Harbaugh era in prime time against the Dallas Cowboys by ditching the non-contact jersey and participating in Monday's practice, in turn bringing more optimism to his anticipated return from knee surgery 11 months ago.
These Giants face pressure in position battles as roster cuts loom Original
EAST RUTHERFORD - Victor Cruz believed he could make the team, but the undrafted rookie for the New York Giants was a longshot at the start of the preseason. Essentially, the wide receiver and local kid from nearby Paterson had to find a way to force the hometown franchise to keep him.
Projecting NY Giants' 53-man roster entering final week of preseason
EAST RUTHERFORD - John Harbaugh is not thinking solely about tomorrow. Or the next day. Just about everything his New York Giants do on the practice fields and in the meeting rooms, initially at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia and home for training camp, has had a singular focus: being ready for the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 1 "Sunday Night Football" showdown. The offseason program was not necessarily about competition, more so technique and assignments.

Updated Aug. 22, 2026, 8:24 p.m. ET John Harbaugh has picked up his first victory as head coach of the New York Giants, albeit in an exhibition Saturday, and the performance was certainly convincing.
Giants vs. Dolphins live updates: NFL Preseason Week 2 highlights Original
The New York Giants will take the field inside Hard Rock Stadium to face the Miami Dolphins in their second preseason game of the John Harbaugh era on Saturday afternoon. Having participated in the South Florida heat and humidity just two days earlier, the Giants' expectation will be that Harbaugh rests most of the starters for this game, especially with a short week of practices looming and the preseason finale set for Friday night against the Jets at MetLife Stadium.

NY Giants camp observations Tuesday as Preseason Week 2 continues Original
Aug. 18, 2026, 1:30 p.m. ET EAST RUTHERFORD - John Harbaugh was torn over the way his New York Giants ended Monday’s Training camp practice as they began the second week of the preseason. On one hand, the Giants earned the right to celebrate on defense. First, it was Abdul Carter, who made the play of the day after Kayvon Thibodeaux tipped a Jaxson Dart pass, ultimately to Carter for the interception, and then he returned it some 90 yards for the touchdown.
Why Giants are signing Najee Harris and where he fits in the backfield Original
Aug. 18, 2026, 1:07 p.m. ET EAST RUTHERFORD - The New York Giants are signing former Pro Bowl running back Najee Harris, sources told NorthJersey.com and The Record on Tuesday afternoon. Harris visited and worked out for the team on Monday morning and spent the rest of the day as if his signing was only a matter of time and medical clearance, given the former Steelers and Chargers star is recovering from a torn Achilles last September. Harris stayed to watch practice and agreed to terms soon after.
A Giant awakening for Malik Nabers in his biggest leap forward so far
EAST RUTHERFORD - Malik Nabers leaped into the air, twisting his body to grab the perfect throw from Jaxson Dart - just high enough to clear the daunting presence of Arvell Reese - before controlling the catch and crashing to the ground. Sure, this was only a completion in a 7-on-7 drill in Monday's training camp practice, but for Nabers and the Giants, the connection with Dart and his No. 1 receiver represented so much more.
New York Giants camp observations Monday as Preseason Week 2 begins Original
Updated Aug. 17, 2026, 12:59 p.m. ET EAST RUTHERFORD - The New York Giants are back on the practice fields Monday as the attention turns to the second week of the preseason heading toward Saturday's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. The Giants and Dolphins will also hold a joint practice on Thursday, which means there will be just two sessions here in New Jersey before the team heads back on the road for South Florida on Wednesday.
