NY Giants-Miami Dolphins joint practice: ‘Rules of engagement’ will be in place
John Harbaugh wants players on both teams to protect each other.
The New York Giants and Miami Dolphins will engage in a joint practice on Thursday in Miami, despite the history of altercations during such gatherings. John Harbaugh, head coach of the Giants, emphasized the importance of establishing "Rules of Engagement" to ensure the safety of his players. These rules will likely prohibit defenders from getting too close to the opposing quarterback and will prioritize front-on tackles to prevent blindside hits.
Harbaugh aims to use the practice to expose his team to different players and schemes, providing an opportunity to evaluate their performance and adapt to varying strategies. However, wide receiver Malik Nabers, who is recovering from two ACL surgeries, will not participate in the joint practice or the upcoming preseason game. The Giants aim to gradually reintroduce him to physical contact in a controlled environment before exposing him to real-game scenarios.
