NY Giants Injury Updates, Start of OTAs + Jaxson Dart Impresses

The latest live episode of 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates is packed with the most important and intriguing Giants news today as OTAs are officially underway. Hosts Drew and Rob break down everything you need to know from the New York Giants’ first two OTA sessions, including updates from Head Coach Brian Daboll on injuries, practice standouts, and some surprising depth chart movements that could shape the early part of training camp.

Giants fans tuning in will hear Daboll's latest injury updates on key players like rookie WR Malik Nabers, who is being held out as a precaution due to a lingering toe issue, as well as LT Andrew Thomas and free agent signing Jon Runyan. Daboll also comments on Dexter Lawrence’s progress and the slow ramp-up for CB Paulson Adebo after last year’s leg injury.

This episode also dives deep into the standout performances from OTA 2, where the quarterbacks shined in red zone drills. Russell Wilson threw an early TD to Eric Gray and worked exclusively with the starters, while Jameis Winston tossed four touchdowns to Slayton, Hyatt, Montrell Washington, and Greg Dulcich. Rookie Jaxson Dart made his mark with three touchdowns of his own, including one to college teammate Juice Wells and another to Dante Miller, who racked up three total TDs. UDFA Tommy DeVito connected with Jordan Bly for three scores as well.

The guys analyze the Giants’ reshuffled offensive line, featuring James Hudson, Aaron Stinnie, John Michael Schmitz, Greg Van Roten, and Jermaine Eluemunor. With Thomas and Runyan sidelined, the Giants were clearly experimenting up front while Mike Kafka called plays and Brian Daboll spent considerable time observing Dart.

Defensively, Dane Belton and Micah McFadden both made splash plays with interceptions, and Brian Burns showed off his elite edge presence with a would-be sack. Chris Board and Darius Muasau also flashed in pass coverage. PFF recently named both Brian Burns and rookie Abdul Carter to their Top 32 Edge Rushers list, and Drew and Rob break down why Carter may be the next breakout star for the Giants defense.

The show also touches on a viral moment that got Giants fans buzzing: Brandon Jacobs’ son Brayden, a 6’7”, 320-pound high school senior who’s committed to Clemson, has the size and pedigree to dominate.

To close things out, the hosts unpack the developing story around Jalin Hyatt and why he’s reportedly in the Giants’ doghouse. According to insider Connor Hughes, Hyatt mentally checked out last season after a clash with the coaching staff, which led to limited usage despite his clear talent. Could this be a make-or-break year for the explosive wideout?
