Observations from the Giants’ training camp practice on Thursday.
Up, up & away
In a one-on-one drill featuring the wide receivers and defensive backs, rookie Malik Nabers leaped into the air, twisted his body, reached back and made an outrageous back-shoulder grab in the left corner of the end zone on Deonte Banks.
Nabers then made sure Banks knew about it by yapping at him, all in good fun.
Butterfingers
Rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. received plenty of snaps and displayed natural hands as a pass-catcher.
Working with the first-team offense, Tracy lost the ball on a fumble, which was recovered by guard Aaron Stinnie.
Turnovers are a no-no, especially for first-year players.
Caught my eye
The Giants have a new special teams coordinator, Michael Ghobrial, and a new drill was unveiled this camp.
The punt returners held a tennis ball in one hand and tossed the ball up in the air as they readied to catch the football.
After the football was secured, the returner then tried to catch the tennis ball, a juggling act that had mixed results.
Injury report
OL Jermaine Eluemunor participated in individual drills a day after coming off the field with soreness around his ribs.
Rookie safety Tyler Nubin experienced cramps in his first camp practice and did not participate on Day 2. OT Evan Neal (ankle) continued to work on the side with trainers.
