The New York Giants and New York Jets locked up for a joint practice on Wednesday at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Florham Park, New Jersey.
Leading up to the practice, Giants head coach Brian Daboll and Jets head coach Robert Saleh preached peace to their players, urging the two teams to avoid the melees that plagued Giants-Detroit Lions joint practices last week.
The pleas worked as the two teams carried out a physical, but otherwise uneventful practice.
Although filming was only permitted during the early portion of practice, below is a look at some of the sights and sounds (and reports) from throughout the day.
Daniel Jones first pass in 7-on-7 drills a deep shot to Malik Nabers. Good coverage from …. Brandin Echols. He broke it up. Second attempt also to Nabers on a drag. Low. Bounced off his foot. DJ Reed in coverage there. #Jets #Giants

First Sauce Gardner v Malik Nabers matchup. Shifty move over the middle and Nabers gets open. Good gain. Three Jones passes — all thrown to Nabers. Lone completion the one v Gardner so far. Really impressive route in space.
Gardner traveled with Nabers on that play. #Jets…

Ayir Asante kick return for a TD btw. St Peters Prep. Next Victor Cruz

Daniel Jones sacked by Kinlaw, Williams on first play of team drills. They bumped into him. About as obvious of a sack as you’ll see in practice. #Giants #Jets

Tyrone Tracy Jr getting some run with the 1’s ????????

#Giants QB Daniel Jones threw a TD to Manhertz on roll out on his first RZ drill. #Jets S Chuck Clark just decleated Eric Gray. I don’t think Gray is a fan of these joint practices. Same thing happened to him v #Lions.
Jones just capped another RZ drill with a TD run. Malik…

Tommy DeVito with a NICE throw with velocity to Daniel Bellinger for a TD. One of the best throws he’s had all camp and great route by Bellinger
— Justin Penik (@JustinPenik) August 21, 2024
Chuck Clark with a big hit on Eric Gray on the 2nd level
Then after a nice DeVito TD pass to Bellinger up the seam, #Jets’ Braiden McGregor & #Giants’ Josh Miles got into it
Temperature rising

Giants offense vs Jets defense in 1st 11/11 period
Daniel Jones 5 for 5, 2 Nabers catches, Jones TD run
Mostly play action, misdirection, good ball fakes by Jones, short/intermediate throws, nothing vertical in fringe red zone area

Daniel Jones ➡️➡️ Theo Johnson nice catch on the sideline near the sticks

Elijah Chapman is going to make the team, just sacked Tyrod Taylor
— Leger Douzable (@LegerDouzable) August 21, 2024
Will McDonald & Jermaine Johnson just combined for a sack on Daniel Jones. Johnson likely would have had the solo sack (around Andrew Thomas). Play continued, which allowed McDonald to get in.
I keep hearing crowd on the other side, look up, and see Garrett Wilson running with…

Thibs draws a hold setting the edge on an outside zone run

The #Giants offense more than holding its own so far vs. #Jets. Daniel Jones in control. No explosive plays but some solid gains.
Nine passes no incompletions.

Daniel Jones & #Giants offense would have had a big one over the middle. Theo Johnson beat Sauce Gardner. Johnson dropped it, though. #Jets
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 21, 2024
What a play for #Jets offense.
Aaron Rodgers connects with Garrett Wilson on a loooong TD. Giants CB Nick McCloud burnt on the play and Rodgers threw the perfect ball.
Rodgers imitates putting crown on Wilson’s head as crowd chants Wilson’s name. #giants #Jets
— Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) August 21, 2024
Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins on the outside with Dru Phillips in the slot. Rodgers just tried Wilson deep with Banks covering and ball was just out of bounds. Banks did a nice job staying in phase.
— Justin Penik (@JustinPenik) August 21, 2024
Okereke picks off Rodgers, but a defensive holding called. Dru Phillips called for it. #Giants #Jets
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 21, 2024
Full team period both sides’ 1st units from the 50:
Rodgers and Jets drive for a TD, Jones and Giants go 4 and out
Sauce Gardner is waving goodbye to the Giants’ entire sideline after the Jets’ 2nd offense then connects on a deep TD: Tyrod to Brownlee
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) August 21, 2024
This is by far the worst practice I think the giants secondary has had. They’re getting beat deep left and right.

The #Giants offense stalled in the 2-minute drill. Four plays and done. Malik Nabers dropped what was likely a potential would-be TD 40 yards downfield. Went through his hands in the rain.
