WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - The New York Giants’ sixth practice of training camp ended with a chaotic little finish, the kind coaches love until it goes sideways.
Head coach John Harbaugh put the offense in a “win or lose the game” setup Tuesday, with the Giants down six, :42 left, and the ball around the opponent’s 20. The first-team offense had already sputtered through a rough red zone stretch, running 11 plays from the 10-yard line or closer and coming away empty.
Then came the final snap of the drill: third-and-goal from the 3. Jaxson Dart held the ball, waited longer, and then longer still before finally scrambling into the end zone for a touchdown.
The celebration didn’t last long. There was jawing, Dart threw the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome, and the result was a 15-yard penalty.
That pushed Ben Sauls into what became the “game-winning” field goal, and he drilled the 48-yarder.
Harbaugh’s reaction was measured, but the message was obvious.
“I think it’s a 15-yard penalty for taunting, so we backed up the extra point and had to do it again. Did you see that? That’s how we handled it,” Harbaugh said.
He also made clear he didn’t feel the need to go much further with Dart.
“I think he understands that for the game-winning extra point, we don’t want it to be a 50-yard extra point,” Harbaugh said. “Do you think I need to say anything in that case? Pretty clear cut, right?”
Elsewhere, there were a few clear winners from the day’s work.
Jarrod Gray earned a mention because of a quiet but meaningful moment. The Aussie rugby star, signed through the International Pathway Program and still very new to football, was off to the side working one-on-one with a coach on NFL blocking techniques.
That coach turned out to be former Giants standout Chris Snee, now in the front office. For any offensive lineman, that kind of solo teaching session counts as a good day.
Colton Hood also flashed. The rookie cornerback made two strong plays, first stepping up in run support to stop Eric Gray for what looked like a short loss, then breaking up a red zone fade to Beaux Collins by ripping away a Jameis Winston throw.
Ben Sauls had a solid day, too. He missed two kicks to the left, the same issue that bothered him in spring practice, but still finished 10 of 12 overall.
And on the offensive line, Jermaine Eluemunor handled his first 1-on-1 pass-blocking reps of camp nicely. He steered Abdul Carter wide on one snap and then absorbed a power rush from Brian Burns on the next, stonewalling him.
The day was much rougher for Jameis Winston. He was off-target again after a poor Monday, and his worst throw appeared to be an end zone interception, likely by Jason Pinnock. Winston threw it right to him.
There was also a small side note from the media meal table: some boxed lunches from the Greenbrier were apparently short on chocolate chip cookies after a certain reporter with “quirky” eating habits raided several boxes.
One more notable sequence came during the 1-on-1 pass drills. Rookie right guard Sisi Mauigoa lined up against Abdul Carter twice in a row.
On the first snap, Carter tried to power through and got stopped cold. That drill normally doesn’t feature back-to-back matchups, so it seemed likely Carter wanted another shot.
On the second rep, he got it, using an outside fake, swiping across Mauigoa, and bursting past the rookie.

Ole Miss Fall Camp Is Putting Two Key Position Battles In Focus
Ole Miss has kicked off its 2026 fall camp, and as usual, the first days are about more than just conditioning and installs. They are about sorting out who can turn offseason opportunity into a real role once the games start, with several spots still open and coaches taking a close look at how players perform when the pace picks up.
Among the names drawing attention are transfers Horatio Fields Jr. and Blake Purchase, along with freshman Caleb Cunningham, all of whom have a path to meaningful snaps if camp goes the right way. Their backgrounds and early progress give the Rebels options at key positions, but the depth chart is still very much in motion, and the most interesting part of this camp may be how long that competition stays unsettled.

Ole Miss Enters Camp With One Big Question Around Trinidad Chambliss
Ole Miss heads into preseason practice with a familiar name at the center of everything in Trinidad Chambliss, who returns for the 2026 season and lands on the Maxwell Award preseason watch list alongside running back Kewan Lacy. After a roster cycle that sent several receivers on to the NFL, the Rebels have gone to the transfer portal to restock the passing game and give Chambliss a supporting cast that can keep the offense moving without much of a reset.
The bigger intrigue is how quickly the offense can settle in with John David Baker now running it on a permanent basis after finishing last season in the role and bringing in experience from his two seasons at East Carolina. Ole Miss is clearly betting on continuity where it can find it, but camp will still answer the question that matters most around this team: how smooth can the transition be around Chambliss when the pieces around him are still being sorted out?

Ole Miss May Have Real Leverage In Former Rebels Fight
Ole Miss has taken an unusual step in its fight with two former players, filing civil lawsuits against Princewill Umanmielen and Devin Harper over unpaid buyouts tied to revenue-sharing contracts. The cases center on deals the players signed for the 2026 season before leaving for LSU, and the Rebels are seeking nearly $1 million in total damages as the school pushes to enforce the terms.
The legal battle now turns on a familiar question in these kinds of disputes: whether the buyout figures will hold up as reasonable in court. Legal experts expect the matter to settle, but the larger issue for Ole Miss is whether those penalties matched the players market value when the contracts were signed, a point that could shape how much leverage the school really has if this becomes a bigger test case.
