During practice, Jermaine Eluemenor suffered a rib injury after an accidental collision with Dexter Lawrence. Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reported that Eluemenor left the field gingerly, accompanied by head trainer Ronnie Barnes, and was diagnosed with bruised ribs. Head Coach Brian Daboll assured that it was "nothing serious," noting, "Anybody Dex hits, you get sore from that." Eluemenor, who participated in the walkthrough portion of practice, commented on the hit, saying, "It’s like getting hit by a truck," but emphasized his resilience, having never missed a day of training camp in his eight-year career.
In the second day of training camp, Daniel Jones showed promising form, completing 9 of 13 passes, including a deep throw to Jalin Hyatt and a touchdown pass to Malik Nabers, although Nabers dropped another potential touchdown. This marked the second day Nabers dropped a pass, despite his otherwise strong performance. Nabers also made a notable over-the-shoulder catch in the end zone during one-on-one drills against Deonte Banks. Banks expressed enjoyment in competing against Nabers, citing their similar playing styles and the friendly competition.
Other notable performances included Dennis Houston, who excelled in one-on-one drills, catching three passes and drawing a pass interference penalty on Darnay Holmes. Isaiah Hodgins caught a touchdown from Drew Lock, and Tyree Jackson caught a touchdown pass from Tommy DeVito after an extended scramble. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. received some first-team reps but fumbled after being hit by Brian Burns. Azeez Ojulari had a standout day, recording what would have been three sacks against second and third-team competition. Isaiah McKenzie, Gunner Olszewski, Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Ayir Asante all participated in punt return drills.

Malik Nabers Named to the All-Preseason Rookie Team by CBS Sports
Malik Nabers was named to CBS Sports' All-Preseason Rookie Team by Chris Trapasso, who praised Nabers as his WR1 in the 2024 class. Trapasso acknowledged concerns about Daniel Jones' ability to fuel a great rookie season for a receiver but highlighted Nabers' talent, speed, and YAC ability, which provide a solid foundation at the receiver spot.
