Brian Burns exits Giants practice early in possible injury worry
The Giants invested heavily in big offseason additions, so questions about Brian Burns’ health are worth noting.

Jason Pinnock, Dane Belton leading Giants’ safety competition
Replacing Xavier McKinney could be a two-man job for the Giants.

Giants’ Malik Nabers makes over-the-shoulder catch at camp
Observations from Giants training camp practice on Sunday. Good stuff Malik Neighbors caught the ball over his shoulder with one foot on the ground as he ran along the sideline, then limped off with his other foot and fell out of bounds.

Giants star Andrew Thomas looks to raise game even more
Because he’s still only 25 years old, Andrew Thomas is increasingly being viewed as a veteran presence on the Giants’ offensive line. Certainly, Thomas is the longest-tenured member of that group in terms of contributions to the team and is by far the best player up front. In some ways, it seems like Thomas just […]
