Malachi Fields catches first career touchdown for New York Giants

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields scored his first NFL touchdown during a preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings on August 15, 2026. The touchdown came on a 15-yard pass from quarterback Jaxson Dart, who returned from a brief absence after a hit. Fields demonstrated impressive contested-catch ability as he outjumped a Vikings defender for the score, putting the Giants ahead 7-3 early in the second quarter at MetLife Stadium. Fields, a third-round pick out of Notre Dame, continues to show his potential in training camp and the preseason.
