Overview
- This week at OTAs Jaxson Dart said he is leaner, more mobile and that staying on the field is his top priority after missing games with a concussion as a rookie.
- New head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy are installing a different scheme that leans on power running and tight ends to create play‑action looks for the quarterback.
- The Giants used a top‑10 draft pick on guard Francis Mauigoa and added tight end Isaiah Likely plus receivers Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin and Malachi Fields to better protect Dart and expand his options.
- Malik Nabers remains in knee rehab after an ACL tear and a follow‑up procedure so his Week 1 availability is uncertain and his absence is seen as the main limiter on New York’s passing‑game ceiling.
- Analysts place Dart’s supporting cast around the middle of the league and are urging coaches to reduce his rushing exposure to preserve his health while training camp and preseason reps will show whether the new scheme and new weapons produce real chemistry.
