EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. \u2014 The New York Giants held their last padded practice before traveling to hold a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. Here are some of the takeaways.<\/p>\n
The Giants star wide receiver practiced for a second straight day. This was a lighter day for Nabers after he took seven team reps on Monday, his first of the summer as he works to return from a torn ACL.<\/p>\n
Nabers, again in a red jersey, was in shells while the rest of his teammates practiced in full pads. He did take a couple of team reps. He caught a long pass from Jaxson Dart in 7-on-7, a play where it was clear defensive backs Tyler Nubin and Jevon Holland understood that they were not to hit Nabers. In real game action, the two defensive backs could have laid a big hit on the wide receiver.<\/p>\n
Head coach John Harbaugh said Nabers will need to \u201cget bumped around and hit and fronted up\u201d in practice before the Giants consider playing him in a game. The Giants aren\u2019t ready for that to happen yet.<\/p>\n
Cornerback Colton Hood (unknown), wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (ankle\/leg), and defensive tackle Josh Tupou and Bobby Jamison-Travis (both unknown) did not practice.<\/p>\n
Rookie linebacker Arvell Reese made back-to-back big plays during 11-on-11 red zone work. First, he used his size and athleticism to swat away a pass Dart tried to float over him to tight end Isaiah Likely at the goal line. On the next play, Reese and Chauncey Golston barreled into the backfield to stop Cam Skattebo for a loss.<\/p>\n
In West Virginia, there were a couple of days where edge defender Abdul Carter got the better of Andrew Thomas. During 1-on-1 blocking\/rushing drills on Tuesday, Thomas got a measure of revenge.<\/p>\n
The two squared off in back-to-back reps. First, Thomas used his left arm to simply force the speed-rushing Carter around the pocket. On the next rep, Carter tried to bull rush Thomas and wound up going nowhere.<\/p>\n
