🔮 But I would guess that Abdul relishes that.
🔮 And he can’t guarantee that will be the case — not because of the shoulder that he banged up landing after a contested catch against the Cardinals but because of the knee that underwent reconstructive surgery in September 2025.
🔮 Jake Haener was signed Wednesday to the active roster, NFL Network first reported, where he will join starter Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy.
🔮 Harbaugh, with assists from the scouting department and special teams coordinator Chris Horton, might have found the third long-term kicker solution of his 28-year NFL coaching career now that rookie Dominic Zvada is off to a 9-for-9 start on field goals and 5-for-5 on PATs.
🔮 John Harbaugh might need to get his T-shirt designer on the phone again.
🔮 Charlie Jones will fill Berrios’ multiple roles.
🔮 tRY IT NOWBecause McCarthy is on the 53-man roster, the Giants could have made McCarthy inactive and still used him as the emergency third-stringer if the starter and backup (Jameis Winston and Jake Haener) are ruled out.
🔮 Thomas (groin) practiced in a limited capacity after sitting out the previous two days, while center John Michael Schmitz (personal reasons) was absent and replaced by Bryan Hudson during the media viewing period. Access the Giants like never before Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. tRY IT NOWSchmitz is expected to rejoin teammates in time for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.
🔮 Cam Skattebo isn’t out to prove that the Giants didn’t need Love in a head-to-head matchup of the running back that they are featuring and the one they likely would have drafted had he been available two picks later.
🔮 None of it has made Hood any less coachable, passionate or willing to work, in the eyes of the Giants.

Nabers (knee) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, while tight end Isaiah Likely (knee/groin) and running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) were limited. asserted
Likely → participate → practice
And he can’t guarantee that will be the case — not because of the shoulder that he banged up landing after a contested catch against the Cardinals but because of the knee that underwent reconstructive surgery in September 2025. asserted

“They kind of told me getting back into this football form asserted
They → tell → form
… there’s going to be up days, there’s going to be down days, there’s going to be things I have to work through,” Nabers said. asserted
Nabers → go → ?
“Attacking it head-on and just trying to get through this so I can play.” asserted
I → attack → this
Other nonparticipants included DL Chauncey Golston (neck), RB Najee Harris (personal reasons), S Chauncey Golston (concussion) and LT Andrew Thomas (groin). asserted

QB Jake Haener was signed to the 53-man roster despite having two practice-squad game-day elevations available. asserted
elevations → sign → roster
Carrying three QBs allows the Giants to designate either Haener or J.J. McCarthy as the emergency third-stringer and keep him inactive unless both Winston and the second-stringer are unable to return to the game. asserted
Winston → carry → game
If Haener were still on the practice squad, the Giants would have had to activate all three quarterbacks among their 46 game-day players. asserted
Giants → have → players
So, signing Haener essentially allows the Giants to get an extra backup at another position — and a core special-teamer — into the game. asserted
Giants → sign → game
