The Giants were back on the field Thursday for their second practice of training camp.

Coach Brian Daboll addressed the media prior to practice, and cornerback Deonte Banks and offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor spoke to reporters after the session.

Team drills primarily took place in the red zone Thursday, which resulted in plenty of action on both sides of the ball.

Here are five things we learned on Day 2.

1. Banks on matching up against Nabers: 'I love it'

Heading into training camp, one of the matchups many of us have been most excited to see was cornerback Deonte Banks against wide receiver Malik Nabers. We're only two days into training camp, and we've already seen some great plays by both young players while going up against each other.

"I love it. We are just competing. We talk to each other, and it's really fun…" Banks told the media after practice. "It's just a good matchup; I like it. We're both competing. We have the same body type. Quickness. We are both quick and fast. It's fun."

During individual drills, Nabers caught a pair of touchdowns with Banks in coverage. Banks had strong coverage on both throws, but Daniel Jones placed the ball beautifully in spots where only Nabers could make a play. The second-year corner got his revenge during team drills later in practice when he forced an incompletion on a pass to the rookie wideout in the end zone.

"He's good," Banks said about the No. 6 pick. "He's really explosive. Real quick. I like him."

2. Eluemunor 'sore' but injury is 'nothing serious'

The Giants had a bit of a scare during Wednesday's opening practice when offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor went down after absorbing an inadvertent hit from Dexter Lawrence. However, Daboll told the media Thursday morning that the veteran offensive lineman is "sore" but "okay" after taking the hit.

"Nothing serious," Daboll said. "It's two men kind of colliding there accidentally. He's going to do individual today, we'll see where he's at after. If he can do more, he'll do more. If not, we'll keep him out of team, but nothing serious…

"He's okay. He was back in meetings yesterday. He's a tough, tough man. He's going to go out there. He wants to do some individual stuff. He's obviously sore, but we'll see where he's at after that. I don't think we'll put him in team today, but if he can do it, we'll go ahead and do it."

As Daboll mentioned, Eluemunor was back on the field Thursday participating in individual drills. When it came time to team drills, the lineman stood off to the side, but it does not sound like he will be sidelined for too long.

"I'm okay, just a little banged up but I mean that's the name of the game playing offensive line, going against (defensive tackle) Dex so, it happens…" Eluemunor told reporters. "In my, what, eight-year career, I haven't missed a day of training camp, so I was going to come out here either way and try and do as much as I could."

3. Offense can evolve in Year 3 of system

The Giants are entering Year 3 in Daboll and Mike Kafka's offensive system. In the first two years, we witnessed the two coaches slowly begin to open up the playbook more and more as the players got more comfortable in the system. As one would expect, they will add even more to their collective plates.

"It's the third year, so you can do a little bit more each year," the head coach said. "If it's the first year, you're not going to throw as much at them. Each year you can add a little bit more. Some days you might see a lot of that, some days you might not see a lot of that. Just depends on how we want to attack the day. But yesterday was one of those days where we were going to move a little bit, might be less today. Not much less, but a little bit less."

During Wednesday's practice, many of the passes during team drills ended up being short routes or passes to the running backs. While on the surface this may have seemed like the offense was playing conservatively, Daboll told the media that he was happy with the passes his quarterbacks made, as they were making decisions based on what they were seeing from the defense.

"I just was happy with the decisions that the quarterbacks were making based on the things that we were getting defensively," said Daboll. "There's some of that. There's some quick stuff, but there was intermediate, there was action game, there were screens, there were some RPOs. So again, you want to jam it into a coverage where everybody's playing deep. Take what they give you, keep the ball moving, stay on track, avoid sacks, avoid negative plays, playing at a down and distance favorable for a play caller, for a quarterback, for an offense, and that's been a big point of emphasis."

4. Banks 'more confident & comfortable' in second season

There is no denying that Deonte Banks was thrown right into the fire during his rookie season. Banks was matched up against the opposing team's top wide receiver almost every week, a lot of times in one-on-one situations. While it wasn't all perfect, the young cornerback held his own against some of the league's best wide receivers.

Banks is now heading into Year 2 of his NFL career, and while training camp has only just begun, the 23-year-old sees a big difference between this season and last.

"I feel way better," Banks told the media. "I was always a confident guy, but I feel way more confident. I feel more comfortable. Everything comes to me way easier."

Despite being in his second season, Banks has already begun to step up as one of the leaders of the secondary. The team's cornerbacks are a relatively young group, and with Banks solidifying the team's No. 1 CB spot, he's helping his teammates any way he can.

"I'm just giving them everything I can," Banks said about helping his fellow corners. "I'm just taking my job as it comes. I want to be that leader, so I'm trying to take that leadership role."

5. Offense capitalizes in red zone

As mentioned in the intro, most of Thursday's team drills occurred in the red zone. The offense capitalized on a lot of these opportunities, starting with Daniel Jones. The veteran quarterback, in just his second time participating in 11-on-11 drills since suffering a torn ACL last year, found Nabers and Lawrence Cager for touchdowns. Towards the end of practice, Jones also connected with Jalin Hyatt for a deep touchdown from about 40 yards out. He also threw a screen pass to running back Devin Singletary, which went for a significant gain.

Jones wasn't the only quarterback to take advantage of the good field position. Drew Lock threw a touchdown pass to running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., while Tommy DeVito found tight end Daniel Bellinger and wide receiver Dennis Houston for touchdowns. DeVito also added a touchdown on the ground.

While the offense found the end zone a decent amount Thursday, the defense made some plays, as well. Safety Gervarrius Owens got his hands on the football a couple of times in the end zone, as did defensive back Kaleb Hayes. Dexter Lawrence did a nice job of stuffing a run play near the goal line behind the line of scrimmage, while Azeez Ojulari had a couple of pressures, at least one of which would have been a sack.

Towards the start of practice, the wide receivers and cornerbacks went up against each other in one-on-one drills. Nabers caught two touchdown passes during this period, while Jalin Hyatt, Isaiah Hodgins, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton all got on the board, too. On the other side of the ball, Isaiah Simmons had tremendous coverage on a play towards the corner of the end zone, getting his hands on the ball at the last second to break up the pass. Nick McCloud made a similarly impressive play, batting the ball down right before it landed in the receiver's hands.
