#Giants first training camp practice over. Here’s the update post-workout - Malik Nabers went through individual drills and full-offense (no defense) at full speed. He made a couple hard cuts, looked good in the ladder drill. There wasn’t as much burst (seemed a tad timid in certain portions), but that’s expected.

Jameis Winston starts for the Giants in Week 12 against the Lions. The source's primary concern is whether the Giants will pass with Winston under center, given they were extremely conservative in his first start: 47% actual pass rate vs. 64% expected pass rate (minus-22% on first down, minus-17% overall). This conservative approach could suppress pass-catcher volume. However, against the Lions, the Giants will likely trail and may be more aggressive than they were against Green Bay, creating uncertainty about how aggressively the Giants will deploy Winston in this game.
