New York Giants rookies took the field on Thursday for their first day of training camp conditioning work. Veteran players have not yet joined conditioning work.

• Phase 2 of practice (helmets but no pads): Held on four of these days: Aug. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
• Padded practices (coaches’ discretion, max of 14): Starting Aug. 17. No more than three straight days.
• Mandatory days off: Aug. 8, then one day off every seven days.
• Padded practices resume: Aug. 22
