Add The New York Post on Google Observations from Wednesday’s Giants practice:
The forgotten man in the receiver discussion — 2022 playoff star Isaiah Hodgins, who returned to the Giants late last season — made an off-balance one-handed catch on the sideline and got his feet down before falling out of bounds.
Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (1) during football practice. Noah K. Murray for NY Post Darnell Mooney and Odell Beckham Jr. were also very involved, with Beckham catching a touchdown pass on a similar route to his end zone drop against the Dolphins.
The Giants had two false starts during the move-the-ball period as QB Jaxson Dart toyed with a hard count that seems to be doing more harm than good.
Players were excited to see Dominic Zvada and Ben Sauls in a field goal battle that stretched to 69-yard attempts, which matches the NFL preseason record set last week by the Chiefs’ Harrison Butker and tops the regular-season record (68). The longest kicks were missed.
“But to see them both make 60-plus yarders in a contest was pretty fun,” head coach John Harbaugh said.
WR Malik Nabers unexpectedly left practice during the final drill — walking side by side with return-to-play coordinator Allie Boudreau into the facility — but Harbaugh said he would have heard after practice if there was an injury.
DT Shelby Harris worked on the side with a trainer during team drills. Theo Johnson (shoulder) came out to practice late and watched from the sideline.
RG Sisi Mauigoa and RT Jermaine Eluemunor returned as full participants.
