Follow the road to the season opener against the Cowboys with our latest updates from 1925 Giants Drive.

Saturday, September 12

4:32 p.m. -- The New York Giants made the following roster moves Saturday ahead of the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football:

Free Agent Signing (from NYG PS)

• WR Dalen Cambre

Activated, from Practice Squad (Standard Elevation)

• WR Braxton Berrios
• LB Malik Harrison

Friday, September 11

4:05 p.m. -- After practicing fully for the third consecutive day, WR Malik Nabers (knee) was listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week. He was the only Giant with a game designation.

"He practiced, it was kind of a slower practice today, so it was a kind of a mental practice today, so I couldn't really, wouldn't be fair to say he looked good or bad or whatever in that kind of a practice, but he was good," Harbaugh said. "I would just say about the injuries, especially today, refer all the injury questions to the injury report, they'll answer your questions, that's as far as we ever really go on a Friday."

Meanwhile, the Cowboys ruled out RB Malik Davis (hip) for Sunday night.

1:15 p.m. -- Coach John Harbaugh, wearing a FDNY hat and shirt that said NEVER FORGET, began his final press conference of the week with a reflection on the 25th anniversary of 9/11:

"Very important day in our country's history, 25th anniversary of 9/11. I would look around here, most of us remember exactly where we were. I remember my grandparents used to say they would talk about Pearl Harbor that way, right, and then now our generation and generations since, up until my daughter, who she was born a month before 9/11, we all know where we were, 9/11. And exactly what we were doing and exactly how we felt, and not just then, really ever since, how it changed everything. We talked to the team a little bit about it today, we took them to the 9/11 museum in the spring, and it was powerful, and a lot of the guys are younger guys so they didn't know much about it really at all, so they learned so much about it. And for me it's a story of heroes, it's a story of this particular culture, it's kind of a human story about people who are created in God's image to be courageous and strong and to be unselfish and caring and to make the ultimate sacrifice in so many cases, to run into the smoke, which is what faith is. It's believing in the unseen and in the things that you can't be assured of, trusting in those things. That's what faith is, and that's what we're kind of called to do in a real courageous way, and that day demonstrated that, and all those stories that you hear, all those audio clips that you get of the phone messages that were left, the firefighters, Ladder One Company, those are the things that mean so much. So, for us to be able to be a part of that and to honor the heroes of that day who live on forever in our culture, that's something that means so much. So, to be in New York and to be a part of that, we were actually here for the 20th anniversary with the visiting team, and it was really meaningful then, and now to be on the other side of that with the Giants is even a bigger, bigger thing. So, players are honored by it, coaches are honored by it, fans I know feel the same, they're honored by it, and we're going to go out there and try to honor it by playing a great football game, playing our best football, doing our best under whatever circumstances occur. In sports it's different, but you can't honor it with your efforts, so we're going to try to do that."

Thursday, September 10

4:16 p.m. -- The Giants' injury report remained unchanged as WR Malik Nabers again practiced fully. "I put in the work, and I did everything that I can to be in this position right now and be able to make the decision to play or to not play," Nabers said after practice. "If I am out there, I put in a great amount of work to know that I'm able to play and I'm able to do exactly what I know I can do and will do."

3:19 p.m. -- OC Matt Nagy said he will call plays from the booth as opposed to the sideline, where he has been in the past.

"I'm excited about it," Nagy said. "I think that I've always been down on the field. When I was a quality control coach, I was up in the box for one year. So, I wanted to experiment with that in the preseason, and I was able to do that. I really liked it. You can see a lot more from up there. Now, it takes away a little bit of the on the field element of being able to communicate and talk all the time, but there's a calm in the box. And for me, first time in this role as a play caller, OC being up in that box, I just feel like I can see things a lot better and then have the ultimate trust in the staff and being able to see things so that they can communicate to me what they're seeing. And we've got the telephone too so I can always jump on the phone with (quarterback) Jaxson (Dart) if I need to. But I'm excited about that opportunity."

Wednesday, September 9

4:24 p.m. (Frisco, Texas) -- The Cowboys released their first injury report of the week. OT Ajani Cornelius (knee) was limited and DT Jonathan Bullard (groin) was a full participant.

4:20 p.m. -- The Giants released their first official injury report of the season. It included five players who all participated fully:

• DL Shelby Harris (Achilles)
• OL Bryan Hudson (knee)
• TE Theo Johnson (shoulder)
• WR Malik Nabers (knee)
• OT Andrew Thomas (knee)

3:26 p.m. -- John Harbaugh said WR Malik Nabers practiced fully on Wednesday and took contact with pads, but "we'll find out" if he is good to go for Sunday night. "I think he's ready to go," Harbaugh said. "We'll see, though. It's still four days until we play. So, if he's ready to go and he feels like he's ready to go, then he'll play. If he's not … then he won't play."

Monday, September 7

4:55 p.m. -- The Giants released veteran WR Darius Slayton.

3:27 p.m. (Frisco, Texas) -- Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters that LG Tyler Smith is set to have thumb surgery, which will land the three-time Pro Bowler on injured reserve and force him to miss at least the first four weeks of the season. Starting in Smith's place Sunday night will be T.J. Bass, who has played in 48 games with 10 starts across his first three seasons in Dallas.

"It's something that's he's been dealing with," Schottenheimer said about Smith's injury. "It's just felt like he couldn't do at a high level. It's a long season. It's unfortunate but that's why we coveted T.J. Bass."

12:35 p.m. -- The New York Giants signed QB Jameis Winston and G Jon Runyan Jr. to two-year extensions, keeping them under contract through 2028.

The Giants open the 2026 season on Sunday night against the Cowboys. It will be Winston's second year as a Giant and the 12th in the NFL for the former No. 1 overall draft choice. Runyan, meanwhile, has started 29 games at left guard for the Giants over the last two seasons after beginning his career with the Packers.

Winston has played in 108 regular-season games (89 starts) for the Buccaneers (2015-19), Saints (2020-23), Browns (2024) and Giants (2025). He has completed 61.1 percent of his passes for 24,792 yards, 156 touchdowns and 113 interceptions. On the ground, Winston has 1,320 yards and 13 touchdowns on 330 carries. Through the air, he has one reception for 33 yards and a touchdown on a memorable trick play last season in Detroit.

Winston saw action in three games (two starts) for the Giants in 2025 while serving as a backup to Russell Wilson and then-rookie Jaxson Dart. Winston will once again serve as the No. 2 behind Dart in the two-quarterback room, giving the Giants one of the most accomplished backups in the league.

Winston is still the Buccaneers' all-time leader in passing yards (19,737), passing touchdowns (121), pass attempts (2,548), completions (1,563) and yards per attempt (7.75 –  minimum 1,500 attempts).

Runyan helped pave the way for a 2025 Giants rushing attack that ranked among the top five in the NFL in first downs (141, fourth), rushing touchdowns (22, tied for fourth), rushing yards (2,195, fifth) and runs of 10 yards or more (59, fifth). The Giants' 22 rushing scores were the third-most in franchise history.

Overall, Runyan has played in 96 regular-season games with 79 starts (51 at left guard, 28 right guard) and in five postseason games with three starts (two at right guard, one at left guard).

He never missed a game in his four seasons with the Packers, who drafted him in 2020. He became the first Green Bay offensive lineman selected in the sixth round or later to play in every game as a rookie since 2000.

Prior to the NFL, Runyan played in 34 games with 26 career starts (25 at left tackle, one at right tackle) at Michigan under John Harbaugh's brother, Jim Harbaugh.

Thursday, September 3

5:02 p.m. -- The Giants signed LB Malik Harrison to the practice squad and released DL Ben Barten. Harrison, 6-3 and 255 pounds, was a third-round draft choice by John Harbaugh's Ravens in 2020. The Ohio State product has played in 87 regular-seasons games (43 starts) for Baltimore (2020-24) and Pittsburgh (2025), compiling 181 total tackles on defense and another 34 on special teams. Harrison has made five starts in eight postseason games, including one last season with the Steelers.

Wednesday, September 2

12:30 p.m. -- While speaking to the media, GM Joe Schoen announced the signing of OL Geno VanDeMark to the practice squad. In a corresponding move, DB JT Woods was released from the practice squad.

10 a.m. -- The Giants revealed their uniform schedule for the upcoming 2026 season, presented by Panini.

The two Legacy Games presented by Quest® will take place on Oct. 4 vs Arizona and Dec. 6 vs San Francisco at MetLife Stadium. The team will wear their classic 80s era blue uniform and rebrand the stadium to include their classic helmet design at midfield and vintage end zones with "GIANTS" block lettering.

During the Week 4 matchup against the Cardinals, the Giants will honor the 40th anniversary of the franchise's iconic 1986 Championship team with a special halftime ceremony.

The team will once again bring back their "Vintage White" color rush uniforms for back-to-back games at Philadelphia (Week 9), presented by EA SPORTS^TM Madden 27, and home against Washington (Week 10), presented by Verizon, on Thursday Night Football. The uniform includes the classic navy helmet with the underlined "GIANTS" wordmark on both sides.

The Eagles will also be wearing their classic "Kelly Green" uniforms during the Week 9 matchup.

Outside of the four Vintage White and Legacy weeks, the Giants will wear their "NY" helmet with present-day blue jerseys and white pants for eight regular-season games, and their current white uniform for five games.

Tuesday, September 1

3:53 p.m. -- The New York Giants today filled the four remaining spots on the practice squad with the signing of the following players:

• OL Kingsley Eguakun
• WR Charlie Jones
• OL Darian Kinnard
• DB Elijah Jones

With these additions, the Giants now have 17 members on the practice squad. Clubs are allowed 17 players on the practice squad, as long as one player qualifies and is designated as an international player (OL Jarrod Gray).

12:00 p.m. -- WR Odell Beckham Jr. took a big step in his comeback journey on Sunday when it was announced that he made the initial 53-man roster.

Now this next chapter of his New York Giants story will have a familiar look to it.

Beckham will once again wear the No. 13, the same number he had on for every game during his first five seasons with the Giants.

"I think we all know what that means to me, and there definitely will be some conversations," Beckham told the media Monday about the No. 13. "I'll just say we'll see what happens, but like I said, it would be an honor and a privilege to put that back on."

In just 59 games with the Giants from 2014-2018, Beckham climbed all the way up to second in franchise history in receiving yards (5,476) and fourth in both receptions (390) and receiving touchdowns (44). His 92.8 receiving yards per game is the highest average by any Giants player with at least 50 games played by a wide margin, with Homer Jones being the next closest at 66.4.

The 33-year-old needs just six receptions to move ahead of Joe Morrison for the third-most in Giants history. Meanwhile, with five more touchdown catches, Beckham would move up to second on the franchise's all-time list, passing both Morrison and Kyle Rote.

"I know he knows he accomplished a lot," coach John Harbaugh said Monday. "It's kind of unheard of, in some ways, to be away for so long to come back. I don't know how many times this has actually been done. It would be interesting to see, but the odds were probably against him, I would say. He overcame the odds and did it.

"Now what do you do with it? And that's what he's focused on."

*Beckham isn't the only player on the active roster to get a new number, as rookie WR Malachi Fields will now wear No. 88.
