The second-year quarterback threw another touchdown in a team period near the goal line, where fullback Patrick Ricard sprung open for a walk-in touchdown on a well-designed play. Later in a separate goal line period, Dart found tight end Theo Johnson for a score.<\/p>\n<p>There was plenty of action today in the low red zone, where running back Cam Skattebo had a touchdown run. Jameis Winston also threw three touchdowns, starting with a great catch by JuJu Smith-Schuster in the back of the end zone. Jalin Hyatt also got on the board, catching a pass that was deflected not once but twice before making its way into the wide receiver&#8217;s hands in the end zone. Winston wrapped up the session with another score to Gipson.<\/p>\n<p>Winston went on to throw three more touchdowns in a separate period to Gipson (again), Hyatt (again), and tight end Thomas Fidone II.<\/p>\n<p>Safety Raheem Layne had an active sequence in the first 11-on-11 period. On back-to-back plays, he intercepted an overthrown pass and then forced a fumble on a run play that was recovered by cornerback Korie Black.<\/p>\n<p>A few plays later, Elijah Campbell notched the third takeaway for the secondary with an interception. Cornerback Art Green made it four with a pick in the end zone to wrap up the day.<\/p>\n<p>Odell can still light up a crowd<\/p>\n<p>Odell Beckham Jr. stacked another productive day in his return to the Giants. The three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver made a handful of catches, including a big gain where Dart hit him in stride on the field closest to the fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot of love,&#8221; Beckham said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve had this conversation before. Most people don&#8217;t get a chance to double back, and this is a place that made me into a man, made me into who I am. I have so much love for this organization, this city. I&#8217;ve got New York tatted on my back; you know what I mean? And I&#8217;m from New Orleans. So, all I ever wanted to do was win a championship for the New York Giants and just having an opportunity right now to \u2013 the end goal in mind, but stack those days, that&#8217;s all I want to do for this city, this organization, is bring one home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cambre &#8216;making a move&#8217; in WR room<\/p>\n<p>While Beckham needs no introduction, training camp is a time for players like Dalen Cambre to etch their name into coaches&#8217; minds. The second-year wide receiver, who appeared in seven games last season and was on and off the practice squad, has certainly caught the attention of his head coach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I see him make a circus catch every single day,&#8221; Harbaugh said. &#8220;And not just that, he&#8217;s doing all the other things. He&#8217;s doing special teams. He knows what he&#8217;s doing. He&#8217;s running great routes. I think he&#8217;s making a move. I think he&#8217;s done a great job and he&#8217;s got our attention.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following up on his interception yesterday, safety Jason Pinnock was around the ball a lot again on Wednesday, including a pass breakup and forced a fumble in 7-on-7 work.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell forced an incompletion on a long-developing route in 1-on-1 drills.<\/p>\n<p>Signed just hours before practice, cornerback DJ James broke up a deep pass in one period and forced another incompletion in another. Campbell gave him a shoutout and yelled, &#8220;Make plays on Day 1, that&#8217;s what you&#8217;ve got to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>James <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giants.com\/news\/giants-sign-free-agents-roster-moves-david-long-dj-james-roy-robertson-harris-beaux-collins-training-camp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">was one of two cornerbacks signed on Wednesday<\/a>, joining David Long. The Giants also waived\/injured wide receiver Beaux Collins and placed defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris on injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Rookie linebacker Jack Kelly, a sixth-round pick from BYU, made a nice play to string out a run to the outside.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive lineman Darius Alexander batted a pass at the line of scrimmage, a growing theme for the defensive front at camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first score of the day was a 40-yard pass from Jaxson Dart to wide receiver Xavier Gipson&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314865,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[117100,2468,9,11,10],"class_list":["post-314864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-2026-training-camp-top-plays","tag-homepage","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
