Nine down. One to go.

At this time next week, the Giants will break for the summer and report back for training camp in late July. But before that, they held their ninth of 10 OTA practices on Thursday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. They will practice again Friday and wrap up spring football with minicamp next week.

"I think the guys are out there competing," Daboll said before practice. "I think we're getting a lot of work done. I'm encouraged by the progress that all three phases have made from the beginning of, since they've been here, phase one all the way through. That's the process of the offseason. Again, I like the way the guys are competing."

Here's everything you need to know from OTA No. 9:

TOUCHDOWNS

Russell Wilson once again opened the day with a flurry of touchdowns during 7-on-7 drills in the red zone, finding Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson for scores. Both wide receivers spoke recently about what it's like to catch passes from the 10-time Pro Bowler.

"His knowledge of the game has shown already," Slayton said. "Obviously, he has amazing talent with the ball. Accuracy, great touch on the deep balls. I don't really know that he's missed more than one or two deep balls this whole camp. He is really accurate, really smart. He's helped keep us in good plays throughout the whole camp. So, his impact has been felt for sure."

"That deep ball just drops right in the bucket, for sure," Robinson said. "And then whenever he's throwing just the shorter routes and stuff like that, it kind of comes in like a pillow. It's really, really easy to catch, which I like."

Jaxson Dart also showed his touch and accuracy on a touchdown to tight end Daniel Bellinger in the corner of the end zone, placing it perfectly over the outstretched fingertips of the defensive back.

Jameis Winston also had a 7-on-7 touchdown pass to running back Dante Miller.

Moving to 11-on-11 drills, Tommy DeVito threaded the needle on a touchdown pass to undrafted rookie wide receiver Dalen Cambre in the middle of the end zone.

Safety Dane Belton made a good play to deflect a pass from Wilson but got a bad bounce for the defense as it was redirected into the hands of tight end Theo Johnson for a score.

Dart found undrafted wide receiver Da'Quan Felton in the back corner of the end zone for a touchdown.

Winston wrapped up practice with a short touchdown to Beaux Collins, another undrafted wide receiver.

TAKEAWAYS

Cory Durden got a rare interception for a defensive lineman after he corralled a pass that undrafted outside linebacker Trace Ford tipped straight up in the air.

OTHER NOTABLE PLAYS

Belton came off the edge for a would-be sack in team drills. Linebackers Micah McFadden and Darius Muasau also teamed up for one shortly after that.

Up front, Abdul Carter, Elijah Chatman and Brian Burns found their way into the backfield a handful of times. In addition, Burns played volleyball on one pass and swatted it back the other way a good 10 yards.

Cornerback Dru Phillips made perhaps the best non-takeaway defensive play, knocking a ball away on the sideline after a long scramble. Cornerback TJ Moore then prevented a touchdown with a pass deflection.
