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.
The Red Sox traded one of their top prospects to the Pirates to help boost their rotation as part of a five-player trade Thursday night.
As we arrive at the final five weeks of the NFL regular season, the quarterback market for 2026 continues to take shape.
Tyler Kolek is getting his opportunity as the backup point guard and, frankly, it’s not going well.
Less than two weeks removed from being a point away from the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Rangers appear to be surging again, winning four of their past five games heading into Thursday’s match at Ottawa.
This is not a great time for the Mets to need a center fielder.
Tyrod Taylor knows the perils of being a dual-threat quarterback, and he knows what it’s like for Jaxson Dart to be learning when to take a hit and when to avoid one.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s days in Milwaukee may be numbered.
Brian Daboll tried in his own way to get Abdul Carter on the right path.
Elden Campbell, a 15-year NBA veteran who spent the majority of his career playing with his hometown Los Angeles Lakers, has died, according to the Los Angeles Times. He was 57.
Shedeur Sanders has another potential challenger with the Browns.
The offseason signing of Vladislav Gavrikov became exponentially more important for the Rangers when Adam Fox was ruled out for the foreseeable future.
Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
After leaving practice early on Monday to be evaluated for a lower-body injury, Adam Edstrom did not suit up Tuesday night against the Stars.
