The New York Giants are set to commence their fifth training camp practice of 2025, marked as their first in full pads, intensifying the competition among players. The focal point is the battle for positions on the interior offensive line, notably at center and guard. With John Michael Schmitz taking the reins at center, and veterans Jon Runyan Jr. and Greg Van Roten vying for the left and right guard spots respectively, the upcoming practice will be pivotal in determining the final roster decisions.

The Giants are looking to solidify their offensive line to boost their performance in the upcoming season. The outcome of this positional battle could greatly influence the effectiveness of their running game and pass protection, critical areas for quarterback Daniel Jones and star running back Saquon Barkley. Fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring who emerges as the front-runners following the full-contact practice, as these roles are integral to the Giants’ aspirations for the season.
