2:24 p.m. --WR Odell Beckham Jr.spoke to the media for the first time since returning to the Giants. The three-time Pro Bowler signed his contract on Monday after he worked out for team officials earlier in the day. In just 59 games with the Giants from 2014-18, Beckham climbed to second in franchise history in receiving yards (5,476) and fourth in both receptions (390) and touchdown catches (44). His 92.8 receiving yards per game is the highest average by any Giants player with a minimum of 50 games played. The next closest is Homer Jones (1964-69) with 66.4. In celebration of the Giants' 100th season, an independent committee ranked Beckham No. 37 on the franchise'sall-time top 100 players list.

Beckham last played for the Giants on Dec. 2, 2018, a 30-27 overtime victory over the Bears at MetLife Stadium. The final catch he made was a one-yard touchdown from Eli Manning late in the third quarter.

"It feels great," Beckham said. "I had a lot of time off, taking a step away from the game was what was best for me. At a time in my life where you love something so much that it kind of became detrimental, it became bad for me. Being able to take that time off, be with my son, be with family, re-prioritize what was important to me, knowing that I still love this game so much. Felt great being out there, being back in the building, on this field. Looking at this stadium. It's a pretty surreal feeling.

I know I've got a lot of work to do. I know Harbs and I have talked about it. I came here to earn anything. Everything in my life, nothing was given to me. I came here to earn it, work hard every day, and be the best I can for the team."

2:15 p.m. --During his post-practice presser at OTA No. 9, John Harbaugh put on a Knicks hat ahead of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

"It's exciting, watching the way they play, it's fun because I think it's instructive," Harbaugh said of the Knicks. "You get an opportunity just to see how a team can come together. The team to me is executing at the highest level, operating together on the same page with everything they do, playing with a lot of confidence because they understand exactly where everybody is going to be at all times. It's a coach's dream when you watch a team play the way they're playing. It's a fun team to watch. It's going to be a great series. Let's go get a win."

On the response he has seen from the city: "It's been exciting because obviously you envision that. Kind of get a little selfish, you want to see that for the Giants. That's what you want to see. It would be something that we're working for. We'd like to get there, too. That would be our goal."

Harbaugh also spoke for the first time since the Giants signed a trio of veteran receivers inOdell Beckham Jr.,JuJu Smith-Schuster, andBraxton Berrios.

"I'd say just principally doing everything you can to be the best you can be, give yourself the chance to be the best team you can be. Those were three guys that were out there, we've been monitoring, talking about those three for a while. Probably was a catalyst when we lost Gunner [Olszewski]. Didn't have to be a 'one for one'. We had to make a few moves in the specialists department. Those are guys we could bring back if it worked out the way we want it to, as long as they don't get claimed by somebody else.

"Try to be aggressive and give ourselves as many opportunities as we possibly can to have the strongest roster we can. We'll see what happens. They'll be competing for roles. They'll be competing for their opportunity, just like everybody else. Let's see how it goes. They've looked good out here. Working hard. Obviously they're veteran players who are highly decorated players in the league. It's just a matter of what can they do now. We'll find out."

JuJu Smith-Schuster#8 WRHeight: 6-1Weight: 215 lbsCollege: USC

11:17 a.m. --The Giants signedWR JuJu Smith-Schusterand releasedK Jason Sanders. The Smith-Schuster signing comes one day after the Giants signedOdell Beckham Jr.andBraxton Berrios. With Sanders released, the Giants now have two kickers on the roster: second-year proBen Saulsand undrafted rookieDominic Zvada.

The veteran wideout has played 121 games with 92 starts across nine NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2017-21), Kansas City Chiefs (2022), New England Patriots (2023) and a second stint with the Chiefs (2024-25). His career totals include 481 receptions for 5,624 yards and 33 touchdowns, with an additional 35 receptions for 353 yards and two touchdowns in nine postseason games.

During his three years with the Chiefs, Smith-Schuster overlapped with Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who was on Andy Reid's coaching staff. Nagy was the senior assistant and quarterbacks coach in 2022, but served as offensive coordinator in Smith-Schuster's final two years in Kansas City.

Odell Beckham Jr.#3 WRHeight: 5-11Weight: 198 lbsCollege: LSU

12:27 p.m. --The Giants made some big changes to the wide receiver room Monday, starting withthe signing of Odell Beckham Jr.

Beckham, one of the most electric players ever to wear a Giants uniform, returns to the team that drafted him 12 years ago.

In just 59 games with the Giants from 2014-18, Beckham climbed to second in franchise history in receiving yards (5,476) and fourth in both receptions (390) and touchdown catches (44). His 92.8 receiving yards per game is the highest average by any Giants player with a minimum of 50 games played. The next closest is Homer Jones (1964-69) with 66.4.

Beckham, the 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, exploded onto the scene with one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history. He was voted the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year, the first Giants player to be so honored in the history of the award. He was the franchise's first Rookie of the Year since Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor won the defensive award in 1981.

Beckham played with four other NFL teams in between stints with the Giants. He recorded his fifth and most recent 1,000-yard season with the Browns in 2019 but was released midway through the 2021 season. Beckham was picked up by the Los Angeles Rams and scored the first points in their Super Bowl LVI victory. The ring didn't come without a price, however, as Beckham suffered a torn ACL in the game. Beckham moved onto Baltimore and then Miami, where he played his most recent NFL game on Dec. 8, 2024.

Braxton Berrios#87 WRHeight: 5-9Weight: 190 lbsCollege: Miami

2:24 p.m. --In addition to Beckham, the Giants also signedveteran wide receiver Braxton Berrioson Monday.

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound wideout has played in 91 games with six starts for the New York Jets (2019-2022), Miami Dolphins (2023-2024) and Houston Texans (2025). He was originally drafted by the New England Patriots in the sixth round (No. 210 overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft, but he landed on injured reserve prior to the start of the season. He was then waived during final roster cuts the following year, which led to him landing with the Jets.

His career totals include 140 receptions for 1,360 yards and six touchdowns along with 20 rush attempts for 171 yards and four touchdowns.

Berrios has also played a big role on special teams over the years. He has returned 100 punts for 1,130 yards (11.3 avg.) and 91 kickoffs for 2,265 yards (24.9 avg.) and one touchdown. He was named first-team All-Pro as a returner in 2021 when he averaged 13.4 yards per punt return in addition to 30.4 yards per kickoff return, the latter of which led the NFL.

Gunner Olszewski#80 WRHeight: 6-0Weight: 190 lbsCollege: Bemidji State University

5:06 p.m. --To make room on the roster for the two veterans, wide receiver Gunner Olszewski was placed on injured reserve following the injury he suffered during Friday's practice.

Additionally, the Giants released long snapper Zach Triner, who originally signed with the team back in March. The Giants also signed Australian offensive lineman Jarrod Gray, who carries a roster exemption as an international player.

Olszewski appeared in 16 games for the Giants last season, where he primarily played on special teams. The 29-year-old returned 24 punts for 216 yards (9.0 avg.) and 26 kickoffs for 682 yards (26.2 avg.). In limited snaps on offense, Olszewski had 10 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown. He also threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Jameis Winston on a trick play against the Lions.

After heading into the 2025 season finale with just 17 career receptions for 223 yards, Olszewski caught eight passes for 102 yards in the Week 18 win over the Cowboys.

Olszewski was brought back during training camp last year after spending the entire 2024 campaign on injured reserve. He played 10 games with the Giants in 2023 and was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his 94-yard punt return touchdown in Week 17. It was the second longest punt return in Giants history and the longest in 95 years. In his 10 games with the Giants that season, Olszewski returned 23 punts for 273 yards (11.9 avg.) and the touchdown.

May 29

3:33 P.M. --LBArvell Reese, the No. 5 overall pick in this year's draft, has officially signed his rookie contract. The Giants now have all seven members of their 2026 draft class under contract. Only 20 years old, the rookie linebacker has looked impressive through his first couple of weeks of NFL practices.

"You saw it on tape or you saw it at the workout at Ohio State. When you see it in person in your kind of setting, it's more,"coach John Harbaughsaid about Reese back at rookie minicamp. "I thought he moved well. You know, he is 6-4 plus, 240-some pounds. Yet, he moves like a smaller guy. He moves his feet. He can flip his hips. Very natural looking mover off the ball, which was something we saw on tape. We thought we saw, but now we saw it on the practice field, so we feel better about it, you know. Picks things up really quick. Very serious minded. Very diligent about the assignments."

Gunner Olszewski#80 WRHeight: 6-0Weight: 190 lbsCollege: Bemidji State University

2:30 p.m. --Harbaugh gave an update onWR Gunner Olszewski, who left OTA No. 6 with an injury.

"Did have the unfortunate incident at the end with Gunner," Harbaugh said after practice. "We'll find out what the situation is with that. That was a non-contact, change-of-direction kind of a deal there in the grass, so that was disappointing."

May 28

Calvin Austin III#82 WRHeight: 5-9Weight: 162 lbsCollege: Memphis

12:15 p.m. --WithWR Malik Nabersout for the time being, wide receiver Calvin Austin III has made the most of his time with the second-year quarterback.QB Jaxson Dartfound the 5-foot-9, 162-pound former Steeler for a long completion during 7-on-7 drillsat OTA No. 6.

"For a lot of the new guys here, that's really been [the result of] day-to-day communication," Dart said last week about the new receivers. "And they're just dudes who are just bought into the grind and into what we're doing here. So, it's been really fun each and every day."

Thedefensive highlightwas an interception byCB Korie Black, who came down with the ball after it hung up in the air on a windy in East Rutherford.

May 27

Josh Tupou#94 DLHeight: 6-3Weight: 350 lbsCollege: Colorado

4:33 p.m. --The Giants signedDL Josh Tupouand waivedOT Reid Holskey.

Tupou, 6-3 and 240 ponds, has played in 71 regular-season games with 23 starts for the Bengals (2017-23) and John Harbaugh's Ravens (2024-25). His career numbers include 94 total tackles, three sacks, seven tackles for loss, and one forced fumble.

Tupou has also appeared in five postseason games, all with Cincinnati, including Super Bowl LVI.

Tupou, who spent time on the Colts' practice squad early last season, played three games for Harbaugh in each of the 2024 and 2025 campaigns. He joined the NFL in 2017 as an undrafted free agent from Colorado, where he picked up honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors.

Tupou becomes the fifth veteran defensive lineman acquired by the Giants since the draft, joining Shelby Harris, Leki Fotu, Zacch Pickens (claimed off waivers from Kansas City), and DJ Reader.

The Giants also drafted Auburn's Bobby Jamison-Travis (Round 6, No. 186 overall) and signed undrafted rookies Anquin Barnes Jr. (Colorado) and Ben Barten (Wisconsin).

Holskey, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound Miami (Ohio) product who also played for Harbaugh in Baltimore, has yet to appear in a game at the NFL level. He spent the 2025 season on the Giants' practice squad.

3:52 p.m. --OLFrancis "Sisi" Mauigoasigned his rookie contract. The No. 10 overall pick joinsCB Colton Hood(No. 37 overall),WR Malachi Fields(No. 74),DL Bobby Jamison-Travis(No. 186),OL J.C. Davis(No. 192),LB Jack Kelly(No. 193) as the members of the draft class that have signed their rookie deals.

Jason Pinnock#25 SHeight: 6-0Weight: 200 lbsCollege: Pittsburgh

12:15 p.m. --Following the holiday weekend and theannual golf outingto benefit the Giants Foundation, the team returned to the practice fields for OTA No. 4.S Jason Pinnock, who returned to the Giants this offseason, grabbed the first interception of the day during an 11-on-11 period (althoughOLB Brian Burnswas in position for a sack before the throw). Pinnock grabbed another pick near the goal line during a red zone session.

CB Jarrick Bernard-Conversedid his best impersonation of an outfielder for the second of a four-interception day for the defense. The fourth-year pro backhanded a deep pass as he swung his head around, tipping it to himself and securing the takeaway. Bernard-Converse was claimed off waivers from the Browns last October and played in five games for the Giants.CB Dru Phillipsalso got on the board with an interception that had a high degree of difficulty. The third-year pro hauled it in backwards while tapping his heels near the sideline.

May 21

Malik Nabers#1 WRHeight: 6-0Weight: 200 lbsCollege: LSU

2:35 p.m. --Coach John Harbaugh met with the media following OTA No. 3, where he provided an update onWR Malik Nabersand his rehab from last year's ACL injury.

"He's in the middle of it," Harbaugh said. "It's such a hard thing. It's an ACL and whatever else he had in that knee. Not a simple knee, you know.

"So he's in the slog of it, the grind of it I would say. So he's fighting through it. You know, he's here every day, working hard at it. Just impossible to predict. I mean, the goal is to start the season and get out there sometime in training camp. That would be the goal."

Isaiah Likely#9 TEHeight: 6-4Weight: 241 lbsCollege: Coastal Carolina

With Nabers sidelined, it has provided more of an opportunity forQB Jaxson Dartto start developing chemistry with the team's new playmakers, such asTE Isaiah Likely. The athletic tight end produced one of the highlights of the spring with his one-handed catch during Wednesday's practice. As the two begin to develop a rapport in the final weeks of spring practices, it is clear the new pass-catcher has already impressed the second-year quarterback.

"He's just a ball player," Dart told reporters after Thursday's practice. "He's kind of unorthodox in some ways that he moves, but he's extremely savvy and smart. And so, it's awkward for guys to cover him because he's able to just, as a big guy, his stature, just able to bend and move in some ways, makes it really hard for defenders."

Malachi Fields#0 WRHeight: 6-4Weight: 222 lbsCollege: Notre Dame

Play of the Day:RookieWR Malachi Fieldsmade the catch of the day to open OTAs, snagging a pass fromQB Jaxson Dartwith one hand while turning backwards. The Giants traded up to select the 6-foot-4, 222-pound Notre Dame product in the third round with plays like that in mind.

"You can put it in the radius, put it in the area, and he's going to come down with it a lot of times," general manager Joe Schoen said after the draft. "You saw that at Notre Dame. [He's a] down-the-field target who can come down with the ball in contested situations. Red zone, a big body in the red zone, again with that tremendous catch radius. That's invaluable for a young quarterback."
