Cornerback battle and other things to watch in Giants’ preseason finale vs. Patriots
NY Post
Three things to watch for in the Giants’ preseason finale vs. the Patriots at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night:
1. The summerlong competition between Deonte Banks and Cor’Dale Flott for a starting cornerback spot included some bumps in the road, as both players missed time dealing with injuries.
This could be a case of the guy who plays the most, or at all, in the final preseason game is not in a prime spot as far as winning the job. It might already be decided.
2. Do we see more of 278-pound defensive tackle Elijah Chatman lining up on offense at fullback?
In his quest to stay on the roster, a dual role for Chatman is being explored.
Not that the Giants use a blocking back too often, but if the fire hydrant-like Chatman can prove he can be an asset in the backfield, it enhances his chances to stick around.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp.
