Jaxson Dart and Abdul Carter said Friday their relationship is intact and publicly embraced after a disagreement triggered by Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a May 22 New York event.
Saturday talks between the two defused the issue, and Carter said Dart did not apologize because he believed no apology was needed if Dart stood by his beliefs.
Tuesday's players-led team meeting still addressed the fallout, with Dart and leaders including Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Andrew Thomas and Jevon Holland speaking to the room.
Coach John Harbaugh called the session a chance to build culture through adversity, while Dart said being the Giants' quarterback carries added responsibility under intense scrutiny.
