ROOKIES SET FOR NFL DEBUT
The preseason opener will represent the first time that the six-person draft class will put on a Giants jersey. Each member of the 2024 draft class has had some moments during the first two weeks of training camp, and while we may not see all six players take the field against the Lions, many of the draft picks should see at least some playing time.
WR Malik Nabers has been one of the stars of training camp, and that continued this week with the Lions in town. Nabers caught nearly every ball thrown his way over the two practice sessions as he continues to shine during his first NFL summer. He is listed as one of the starting wide receivers on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
"Competitive," Daboll said Tuesday when asked what he saw from Nabers during Monday's practice. "Knows what to do. Been playing at a high level in practice, (we'll) see if that translates to the games. I have a lot of confidence in Malik."
S Tyler Nubin missed some time early in camp due to a calf injury, but the second-round pick has been back on the practice field for the past week. Nubin is currently slotted as the backup safety on the unofficial depth chart.
CB Dru Phillips found himself in the middle of all of the action against the Lions this week. The rookie cornerback has gotten his hands on the ball a couple of times over the last few days, and is slotted as the starting nickel corner on the unofficial depth chart.
"The last few days he's shown up, so continue to work and have progress with him," Daboll said about the rookie corner. "We have different packages with different guys in there, but he's had a good, call it, the last three days of practice."
After starting the summer on the physically unable to perform list, TE Theo Johnson was activated a few days into camp and has since shown off his athleticism on a daily basis. Johnson is currently listed as the fourth tight end on the unofficial depth chart.
RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. has had some explosive moments over the first two weeks of camp. The converted wide receiver has shown great hands in the passing game while also displaying great burst as a runner. Tracy is listed as the third running back in addition to the fifth kick and punt returner (along with Ayir Asante).
"Yeah, the three rookies, I'd say on offense, Tracy, Theo, and Nabers, I told you before we put a high premium on intelligent players, knowing what to do, why it's important," Daboll told the media last week. "The added benefit of a player that you can't always evaluate is instincts. If he's here, it's not just running lines on paper or adjusting on a run scheme. I'd say those three things, his intelligence, their effort, and then you add the instincts to it for those three young players. That's unique. Now we'll see if they can carry it forward."
Finally, LB Darius Muasau has gotten some reps at both linebacker and on special teams and made plays on both. Muasau is lited as the third inside linebacker.
ALL-TIME SERIES
The New York Giants will host the Detroit Lions in MetLife Stadium for their first preseason game of the 2024 season. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on FOX5 NY.
The teams have met 16 times in the preseason, but only three times since 1966. The Lions lead the preseason series, 10-5-1. In their most recent preseason matchup, the Lions topped the Giants, 21-16, in Ford Field on Aug. 11, 2023.
Dan Campbell, who was drafted by the Giants in 1999 and played tight end from 1999-2002, will coach against his former team for the third time since being named the Lions' head coach. In their first meeting on Nov. 20, 2022, the Lions defeated the Giants, 31-18, in MetLife Stadium.
The New York Giants hosted the Detroit Lions for joint practices ahead of Thursday's preseason opener.

MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN DABOLL & CAMPBELL
The relationship between Brian Daboll and Dan Campbell has been well-documented. The two overlapped for one season with the Miami Dolphins back in 2011, when Daboll served as the offensive coordinator and Campbell as the tight ends coach. While they only shared the sideline for one season, it was more than enough time for Campbell to see just how high Daboll's football IQ is.
"I appreciate our time together," Campbell told the media earlier this week. "He is one of the smartest football minds I've been around. Talk about thinking fast. He tested us as a staff. I learned a ton of football around him. Here's what I would say, is he's continued to grow like any great coach has. He evolved. What he was doing in Buffalo was not what we were doing. There were similar concepts, but he evolved with what the roster and that quarterback said he was going to evolve to, what was going to make them best. That's what he's done here, and what he will do here. He's a hell of a coach. He is. You don't do what you did a year ago without being able to coach. So, I've got a lot of respect for Dabs."
Upon hearing Daboll talk about Campbell, it is very obvious just how mutual the respect is between the two head coaches.
"I got a lot of respect for Dan," said Daboll. "Dan was the tight end coach for me when I was a coordinator. He's got great energy. He is who he is. He's smart. He does a good job of motivating the guys. I'm speaking back when I was a coordinator with him, not knowing him in his role. But he's got a lot of great intangibles. I got a lot of respect for him."
FIRST UNOFFICIAL DEPTH CHART
The New York Giants released their first unofficial depth chart ahead of the preseason opener against the Lions. As always, it is subject to change. It simply serves as a guide, more so for the media than the coaches.
From left to right, the starting offensive line on the first depth chart is the following - Andrew Thomas at left tackle, Jon Runyan Jr. at left guard, John Michael Schmitz at center, Aaron Stinnie at right guard and Jermaine Eluemunor at right tackle.
Two rookies currently man the top spot on their depth chart at their respective positions - first-round wide receiver Malik Nabers and third-round nickel cornerback Dru Phillips.
Dane Belton and Jason Pinnock are currently slotted in as the two starting safeties, while Cor'Dale Flott is listed as the starting outside cornerback opposite Deonte Banks. Elsewhere on the defense, veteran Rakeem Nunez-Roches holds the starting defensive tackle spot next to Dexter Lawrence.
JONES, NABERS CONTINUE TO BUILD CHEMISTRY
The connection between quarterback Daniel Jones and rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been on full display over the first two weeks of training camp. The No. 6 overall pick has been one of Jones' most targeted receivers, as the 21-year-old has continued to make big play after big play on a near daily basis. The two will continue to work on improving their chemistry as we get closer to the start of the regular season.
"I think it's growing every day," Daboll said on the connection between the two players. "Again, Malik's a rookie. Daniel's coming back from his surgery. Those guys work hard in individual routes. Obviously, in team periods, I think each day it's gotten better and better. There's a lot of nuances to the passing game. We ask him to do a lot. Maybe it's a couple of different routes each day to make sure that we're getting the timing and the rhythm down, and if we need to get it again, we go back to another practice or the practice after that to make sure we're continuing to build that chemistry."
Nabers caught every pass thrown in his direction during team drills on Monday, including an impressive reception deep down the field. Jones has been targeting the rookie all over the field during camp, from short slant routes to downfield shots. While we have yet to hit the two-week mark of training camp, it's clear that Nabers has already made a very strong impression on his quarterback.
"I think he can do everything," the quarterback said about Nabers. "His competitive spirit, his drive. I think when the ball's up in the air, he expects it to be his, and he's going to go get it. He's got all the physical ability in the world, and size, strength, speed, quickness, great hands, and he's got the attitude that he's going to go get the ball, and it's going to be his. We've got to keep working and keep building our chemistry, but I thought he's had a good camp."
'COHESIVENESS' BETWEEN KAYVON & BURNS
The Giants took a big swing this offseason when they traded for outside linebacker Brian Burns and subsequently signed him to a long-term contract extension. The front office had a vision of pairing Burns with third-year outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux to create a formidable combination on the edge, something we witnessed over the last two days of joint practices.
Burns and Thibodeaux both found themselves in the backfield for sacks over the last two days, an impressive feat against Detroit's talented offensive line.
"It's the cohesiveness," Thibodeaux said. "When you have two rushers that can at the base, just hold down their sides and create a pocket that's hard for the quarterback to throw out of. It helps the back end; the back end helps the front end. One of the coaches, he likes to say 'symbiosis', there's multiple parts working together for the greater good, but just helping each other. And I said whether it's communication, whether it's moves, since we've been playing together, I've added something to his game. He's added something to my game. It's been a real, kind of growth mentality."
The Lions had one of the best offenses in the NFL last season, finishing fifth in points and third in yards. It was a balanced unit as both their passing and rushing attacks ranked inside the top 5 in yards gained. Going up against a tough first opponent, the Giants defense performed well during the joint practices. Perhaps more importantly, the players clearly showed that they have each other's backs, something Thibodeaux believes will benefit the unit in the long-term.
"We're going to stick together," the third-year OLB said. "I think when I was a rookie, that's something that helped us and in the front end and the back end of the season, we won four, I don't know how many games straight, but it's about sticking together because I think the season is a roller coaster and as consistent as you can stay and as together as you can stay, it's going to help you in the long run. So, being in different situations with different people, it's always good to see how a team gels together."
MATCHUP VS. LIONS O-LINE 'A GOOD CONFIDENCE BUILDER'
The Lions had one of the league's top offensive lines last season. The unit surrendered just 31 sacks, which tied the Miami Dolphins for the fourth-fewest in the NFL. Detroit is expected to once again sport one of the league's best O-lines this year, which adds value to the practice reps the Giants' pass rush is getting against them during these joint practices. Brian Burns was able to get into the backfield for pressures several times Monday, as did some of his fellow defensive linemen. Burns talked about the unit's success in practice and how it should serve as a confidence boost for the pass rush moving forward.
"They're one of the better offensive lines in the league," Burns said. "With (Lions tackle Penei) Sewell, (Lions tackle Taylor) Decker, and (Lions center) Frank (Ragnow). So, they've got some guys. And it's a group that worked together for a while now. So, to have success against them in this practice means a lot. It's a good confidence builder for us."
Detroit's talent upfront is impressive. Sewell was named first-team All-Pro last year while Ragnow made the second-team. Decker has also been one of the league's most consistent tackles since being drafted in the first round of the 2016 draft. If the Giants were able to consistently get pressure on the Lions' talented line, it bodes well for their chances to be able to repeat that success against other opponents once the season kicks off.
WAN'DALE 'EXTREMELY DYNAMIC AND EXPLOSIVE'
Towards the end of the 2023 campaign, we began to see wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson return to form following his 2022 ACL surgery. Robinson had five or more receptions in three of the final five games, as well as 75+ scrimmage yards in the same three games. His burst and explosiveness were on full display in the primetime win over the Packers, in which he finished with 115 total yards from scrimmage (six receptions for 79 yards and two rush attempts for an additional 36 yards).
Robinson earned a lot of praise from members of the media leading up to training camp. In the first 10 practices this summer, it's easy to see why many in the media have been high on the 23-year-old.
"He's an extremely dynamic and explosive guy, super twitchy, hard to guard, just how quickly he can start and stop in and out of cuts," Jones said about the third-year receiver. "I think he's getting the ball in his hands. He's a separator in his routes, and then when he gets the ball in his hands, he's a tough guy to tackle."
DABOLL PREPARING TO CALL PLAYS VS. LIONS
Daboll enjoyed a successful tenure as the Buffalo Bills' play-caller prior to joining the Giants. After not calling plays in his first two seasons at the helm of the Giants, Daboll took over play-calling duties over the offseason and now during training camp.
The coach has yet to finalize who will call plays once the regular season begins, as assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka held the responsibility the last two years.
"That's what these preseason games are for. Go through that process," Daboll said. "I think every team we play this year that has an offensive head coach besides one, they call the plays. I've talked to plenty of people. I just want to go through the process of the preseason, the mechanics of it, the communication with my staff, really in all three phases, plus the people that help me with game management. So that's much needed."
Daboll also told the media he foresees Kafka being in the booth during the preseason opener.
ISAIAH McKENZIE 'AN ENERGY GUY'
A lot has been made about the Giants' wide receiver corps during the offseason, as the group has been completely revamped over the last two years. While the top of the depth chart seems established, there are still numerous guys battling for the final few WR roster spots. One of those players is Isaiah McKenzie, a veteran entering his eighth NFL season with 152 career receptions under his belt in addition to extensive experience in the return game.
"He is an energy guy," the head coach said about the 29-year-old wideout. "He's an energy guy in the classroom, and he's a very good teammate. He knows how we want to play. He can play fast because he knows the system pretty well. He's going to have an opportunity to return punts, and that's going to be an important evaluation process for him. But he's been a good addition to that room and to the punt return room, so there will be some competition with (wide receiver) Gunner Olszewski. We'll see how that competition unfolds."
McKenzie and Daboll overlapped in Buffalo from 2018 to 2021, so the two know each other quite well. The head coach mentioned that familiarity, along with the receiver's abilities on the field, as the major reasons why McKenzie was brought in this offseason.
"I have a very good relationship with Isaiah, I'd say both on and off the field," Daboll told reporters. "That's important. But the most important thing is we think he can play. He's right in the mix. He's competing. He understands that. He's been nothing but a good teammate, and I'm glad he's here."
