There is no set answer to that. Practice squad players who are going to play travel, of course. In some instances, they will travel as a reward. In many instances, they will not. Remember, that is 15 or so extra people to put on an airplace already filled with large people. Practice squad players get free access to meals provided at team facilities. If they are traveling with the team, they are treated like everyone else. Practice squad players get medical benefits.

Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are the stories as you start you Labor Day Weekend. Harbaugh has brought credibility to the organization. No one knows if this will ultimately work. Plenty of accomplished coaches have flamed out at later stops. But no other coach on the market this offseason could have generated this level of buy-in. A leader with a clear vision is leading the organization. Everyone believes in Harbaugh’s methods because he can point to his lengthy track record of success.

There’s an interesting dichotomy forming around the New York Giants. On one hand, there’s a pervasive sense of optimism surrounding the team. The Giants’ brass has believed that they have the core of a team capable of competing this year dating back to before free agency. Since that time, the additions to the roster have only strengthened that conviction. We’re still in hope season, but most fans have bought into the optimism as well.

A pair of New York Giants players have been named to ESPN’s projected list of the top 100 NFL players for 2026. One prominent player was left off the list. ESPN ranked offensive tackle Andrew Thomas No. 81, and edge defender Brian Burns No. 81. Wide receiver Malik Nabers did not make the cut. ESPN said this about Thomas: Thomas is entering a season healthy for the first time in years. And when he’s healthy, he’s one of the league’s best left tackles.

Cam Skattebo on Thursday put to bed the social media-created idea that there is a rift between the running back and New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh. “There’s that video going around of me and Harbaugh on the sidelines of ”not liking” what I said or whatever,“ Skattebo acknowledged during an appearance on ‘Up & Adams’ with Kay Adams. “I think the conversation was just less of a happy, joking conversation. It was just kind of a more serious conversation.

The New York Giants will officially open the John Harbaugh era on Sept. 13 with a Sunday Night Football home game against the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET, with the game broadcast nationally on NBC. The Giants are 2.5-point home underdogs, per FanDuel Sportsbook.

Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are the stories as we head into the last weekend of no NFL until February. Tight end Isaiah Likely has never played a game with Malik Nabers as a teammate, but the newcomer to the Giants says he understands what Nabers can do to elevate an offense. “Watching him out there, running routes, I see why he’s the alpha receiver that he is,” Likely said Wednesday. “Obviously, there’s a big difference when [No. 1] is out there on the field and [when he’s] not.

Evan Neal has a new employer, landing on the practice squad of the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. Neal was one of two former Giants signed to the practice by the Raiders, with the other being Azeez Ojulari. Neal, the No. 7 overall selection by the Giants in the 2022 NFL Draft, was let go by the Giants in the recent cutdown to the 53-man roster limit. He played in just 29 games with 27 starts for the Giants, and goes down as a massive draft bust.

Can Malik Harrison eventually crack the 53-man roster. The New York Giants have signed veteran linebacker Malik Harrison to their practice squad. Harrison is a seven-year veteran who’s a very familiar face for head coach John Harbaugh. Harrison was originally a third-round pick out of Ohio State by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2020 NFL Draft. Harrison played for the Ravens until 2024, and signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025.
