EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. \u2014 Jaxson Dart looks bigger and stronger than his rookie year in the NFL with the New York Giants. He insists he weighs the same.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m not like Tim Tebow,\u201d Dart said with a smile. \u201cI\u2019m not like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still built like a quarterback and not like Tebow, who became a tight end as a pro, Dart made a concerted effort in recent months to build muscle. That was evident as he took the field for the first week of organized team activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think I\u2019m just leaner, and our strength staff has done an amazing job,\u201d Dart said Thursday. \u201cWhen you just get into the league, there\u2019s a little bit more resources that you have when it comes to a nutrition standpoint, building out a plan. Had a really good offseason, and I was happy to make it through this past season healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dart missed two games last season after getting concussed<\/a> , and, yes, the topic of him getting down and sliding came up after new coach John Harbaugh<\/a> , offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan took over. The 23-year-old conceded earlier in the week at a Giants town hall fan event that he has to avoid some unnecessary hits so he can stay on the field.<\/p>\n

Evidence of that adjustment won\u2019t be clear until September when games start counting. During offseason workouts, the aim is to build a rapport with a handful of new pass-catchers, including receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Isaiah Likely.<\/p>\n

Dart gathered players for informal workouts in California earlier this spring to start that process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s some things that you should do,\u201d Mooney said. \u201cThe more reps you get with Dart, the more familiar he gets with you and the more connection you have.\u201d<\/p>

Returning receivers Malik Nabers, who\u2019s recovering from a torn ACL<\/a> in his right knee, and Darius Slayton were among the injured players not participating Thursday. Harbaugh said Slayton had surgery to repair a lingering sports hernia and expects the 29-year-old to be ready for training camp.<\/p>\n

Nabers\u2019 timeline is murkier, with no guarantee he\u2019s ready for the season opener.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s probably the first time he\u2019s been hurt like this, and my experience with guys is the first time they have a serious injury, it\u2019s tough,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough because it\u2019s new for him. It\u2019s a tough process. Our job is to stay close to him and stay with him, and his job is to trust and work hard. He\u2019s doing his job, and the trainers and docs are doing their job and he will be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Left tackle Andrew Thomas took part in drills Tuesday and Wednesday, Harbaugh said, while nursing shoulder and foot injuries. Thomas said he and trainers are managing the situation.<\/p>\n

The Giants on Thursday night announced they\u2019ve signed general manager Joe Schoen to a multiyear contract extension, keeping him in position to work with Harbaugh for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

The two have been complementary of each other since Harbaugh was hired in January, reporting directly to ownership. Extending Schoen\u2019s deal is a sign that it was not just talk, and it comes after New York navigated defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence\u2019s trade request and selected<\/a> linebacker Arvell Reese and offensive lineman Francis \u201cSisi\u201d Mauigoa with the Nos. 5 and 10 picks in the draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe did a great job tonight, operating under pressure,\u201d Harbaugh said after the first round last month. \u201cHe was very well prepared, obviously, just knew what he wanted to do and was fielding the different calls and communicating with everybody. I thought we had a really good operation. Joe leads the way on that and did a great job with it.\u201d<\/p>
