Harbaugh’s Grueling Greenbrier Camp Leaves Giants Healthier and More Tested

The demanding West Virginia stay could shape roster decisions ahead of the preseason opener Saturday at MetLife Stadium.

Overview

  • The Giants wrapped their West Virginia camp on Saturday after 10 practices in roughly 12 days and returned to East Rutherford with coaches calling the trip an overall success for focus and bonding.
  • John Harbaugh ran multiple full‑pad, high‑intensity sessions to accelerate evaluations and build physical toughness, putting sustained live work at the center of his first Giants training camp.
  • Center John Michael Schmitz left practice with a head hit and is being evaluated for a possible concussion while a handful of other short‑term injuries were treated as manageable.
  • On the field the defense generally outperformed the offense, rookie linebacker Arvell Reese emerged as a physical playmaker, and Jaxson Dart showed clear late improvement capped by a short TD to Darius Slayton.
  • The club made immediate depth moves to protect the offense up front, signing Brenden Jaimes and moving Bryan Hudson into first‑team reps, a shift that will factor into final 53‑man decisions this month.
