AUGUST 4, 2025 NEW YORK GIANTS TRAINING CAMP REPORT…
The New York Giants held their tenth summer training camp practice of the year on Monday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
ROSTER MOVES – TY SUMMERS TO INJURED RESERVE…
The Giants made four roster moves on Monday due to injuries at running back and linebacker. First, the Giants placed ILB Ty Summers (undisclosed injury) on Injured Reserve and waived/injured RB Rushawn Baker (knee). To fill those vacancies, the team signed ILB K.J. Cloyd (who was cut by the Denver Broncos in May) and RB Jonathan Ward (who was cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers in June).
The 24-year old, 6’2”, 228-pound Cloyd was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Minnesota Vikings after the 2024 NFL Draft. The Vikings waived him in late July and he then spent some time with the Giants in August before being cut again. The Broncos signed him to their Practice Squad in December 2024, but cut him in May 2025.
The 27-year old, 6’0”, 202-pound Ward was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Arizona Cardinals after the 2020 NFL Draft. He has spent time with the Cardinals (2020-2022), New York Jets (2022), Tennessee Titans (2022-2023), and Steelers (2024-2025). Overall, Ward has played in 47 regular-season games with no starts, carrying the ball just 22 times for 91 yards. He also has six catches for 52 yards and one touchdown. Most of his playing time has come on special teams.

The following players remain on injury lists:
- Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List: LT Andrew Thomas (foot) and RB Eric Gray (knee)

PRACTICE NOTES…
Some snippets from various media sources:
- The Giants were in shorts, helmets, and shells.
- With Greg Van Roten back after his wife gave birth, he returned to the starting lineup ahead of Evan Neal at right guard. But both continued to rotate at the position.
- In 7-on-7 drills, WR Montrell Washington made a superb one-handed catch against CB Nic Jones on a pass from QB Jaxson Dart.
- In the same drills, TE Theo Johnson made a nice catch over S Dane Belton on a pass from QB Russell Wilson.
- Also in 7-on-7, Deonte Banks knocked away a slant pass.
- In 11-on-11 team drills, QB Russell Wilson hit WR Malik Nabers out of the slot deep against CB Andru Phillips.
- WR Montrell Washington, who got some time with the first team, made a nice juke move against CB Deonte Banks after a short reception from QB Russell Wilson.
- WR Jalin Hyatt made a back-shoulder catch on a pass from QB Russell Wilson against CB Deonte Banks.
- QB Jaxson Dart scrambled to his right and found WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey down the field.
- DL Darius Alexander had back-to-back pressures in team drills.
- WR Dalen Cambre made a diving catch on a pass from QB Jameis Winston.
- RB Tyrone Tracy caught a short flat pass from QB Russell Wilson for a touchdown.
- In the red zone, QB Russell Wilson scrambled to his left (pressure from OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux, who split a double team) and threw a touchdown pass to WR Jalin Hyatt against CB Paulson Adebo.
- QB Jaxson Dart found WR Zach Pascal for a touchdown against CB Art Green.
- QB Jameis Winston threw a touchdown to TE Greg Dulcich.
- QB Tommy DeVito threw a TD pass to RB Dante Miller in the back of the end zone.
- OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux drew a holding penalty from LG Jon Runyan.
- QB Jaxson Dart threw a touchdown pass to TE Greg Dulcich.
- On a route from out of the backfield, WR Malik Nabers made a leaping grab down the field from QB Russell Wilson.
- S Jevon Holland jumped a QB Russell Wilson red-zone pass to WR Wan’Dale Robinson for a potential pick-6 defensive score.
- WR Gunner Olszewski made a leaping catch of a pass up the seam from QB Jameis Winston. Olszewski followed that up with another diving grab from Winston, this one for a touchdown against CB Dee Williams.
- CB Tre Hawkins made a nice pass defense on a back-shoulder pass from QB Jaxson Dart to WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey that saved a touchdown.
- Also breaking up passes were safeties Makari Paige and Raheem Layne, as well as CB T.J. Moore.
- OLB Brian Burns had a “sack.”
- Overall, both Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart held onto the ball longer than ideal on many plays, most likely an indication of good secondary coverage.
