John Harbaugh: Giants 'improved tremendously' during camp in West Virginia

The New York Giants concluded their 12-day stay at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia on Saturday afternoon with their 10th overall training camp practice and sixth in as many days.

They will head back to New Jersey to prepare for next Saturday's preseason opener at MetLife Stadium against the Minnesota Vikings.

— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) August 8, 2026 After practice, head coach John Harbaugh reflected on his team's time in West Virginia with the smattering of beat reporters who had managed to weather the entire trip.

"I think we got a lot better," the Giants' first-year coach said. "That's probably what we got out of it. We improved tremendously. We're much further along than we were when we started. I think we can look back and say that we've come a long way. I mean, the competition is really tough in this league, and every team is doing the same thing.

"You're in a race every single day to be at least the best you can be. And everybody's trying to do the same thing in the NFL, so that's why it's so tough, but I thought our guys did a good job. I'm happy with where we're at. It's just a matter of keeping your head down and staying after it every day. Never taking a breath in terms of your mindset and determination to get better."

The Giants conducted their summer training camp away from their New Jersey headquarters for the first time since 2012. The Greenbrier was chosen as a location by the team while the Quest Diagnostics Training Center underwent a facelift and expansion.

Harbaugh initially believed the trip would serve as a bonding exercise for his new team and help galvanize some budding relationships. He was right.

"I would give it an A, A plus for that. It's been really everything," Harbaugh said of the experience. "We've been able to focus on the task at hand. There's really no distractions out here. It's a beautiful setting. It's a beautiful resort. Everything has been excellent. And the guys have been able to lock in on the football. The fields have held up extremely well. I mean, every little thing has been good. It's not lavish by any stretch in terms of the facility, but it's everything we could want. Maybe that's even better.

"We don't want it to be too nice. So, I feel like the guys responded well. I have asked them; I think the guys are happy too. But I'm sure you'll be asking them. So, that's good."

Now it's back to work at home.
