Giants avoid risks in uneven practice test against Jets
NY Post
If only Malik Nabers had held onto a deep pass that dropped out of the sky, thrown by Daniel Jones, down the left sideline in the waning minutes of Wednesday’s joint practice with the Jets.
This was one of the few golden opportunities for a Giants offense that on this day could not be described as dynamic, a group that left the field in Florham Park feeling as if it could have done much more.
If Nabers makes the catch and the Giants close practice with an end-zone celebration?
“If we finish that two-minute with a touchdown we definitely feel different,’’ Jones said. “We all got to make plays. Stuff like that is gonna happen. We had a chance to come back and still convert so we got to do that. But yeah, it certainly feels different if we convert that two-minute situation.’’
Yeah, well, that did not happen. Nabers hauled in a pass to start the two-minute drill and then on second down ran past cornerback D.J. Reed.
Nabers, the No. 6 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and thus far this summer looking like a rookie sensation, turned to track the ball and simply did not secure it.
