Former Houston Texans All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has found himself a new home before the start of the 2026 NFL season.
According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, Georgia Tech is expected to hire Hopkins as a member of the program's offensive staff for the upcoming season. The former Clemson Tigers All-ACC wide receiver will work closely with new Yellow Jackets offensive coordinator George Godsey.
Godsey, the Texans' former offensive coordinator from 2015-2016, was also on staff with Hopkins as the tight ends coach with the Baltimore Ravens. He was inlfuential in helping Hopkins choose Baltimore as his destination last season following a run with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hopkins, who previously spent a week working alongside the New England Patriots, said earlier in the offseason he would like to play for a contender this season as he enters his 14th season. The problem? The 34-year-old pass-catcher seems not to have any suitors for the time being and could be looking toward the next option in his playing career.

BALTIMORE — The Detroit Tigers are breaking apart, bit by bit; a backup catcher perhaps giving way to a franchise icon and, perhaps most of a starting rotation.
Life is coming at them fast on Woodward Avenue, to the point Jake Rogers didn't even get to bid Tarik Skubal goodbye.
The two-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher and his longtime personal catcher met at the alternate site during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, grew up through Rogers' career-high 21-homer season until the emergence of All-Star Dillon Dingler pushed Rogers to the margins and, finally, resulted in his getting designated for ***** ignment Tuesday, July 28.
A day later, Skubal made perhaps his final start as Detroit Tiger before the club likely deals him in a blockbuster move before the trade deadline. The ace got emotional when discussing Rogers.
Finally, the two exchanged text messages and then, come Friday, July 31, Rogers found himself back in a pennant race, activated by the Baltimore Orioles before a huge series against Philadelphia.

Ex-PFL fighter Logan Storley had the charges against him dropped after he was arrested on **** ual **** ault allegations back in May in Key West, Fla.
Online records in Monroe County show that prosecutors closed the case while canceling the next court hearing, which was originally scheduled for Aug. 3. No further details were made available, but the case is now closed and Storley is cleared from the charges.
"We are pleased that the criminal case involving Logan Storley has been resolved through a pretrial diversion program, after which the State has agreed to dismiss the charges," Storley's manager and attorney David Martin said in a statement sent to MMA Fighting.
"We want to thank attorneys Jeff and Diego Weiner for their exceptional representation and most importantly, we want to thank everyone who refused to rush to judgment. The presumption of innocence remains a cornerstone of our criminal justice system, and every person deserves fairness, due process, and the opportunity to have their case decided based on the facts, not public opinion.
"Logan is committed to becoming the best version of himself and looks forward to focusing on his family, his career, and the opportunities that lie ahead."

Potential of A.J. Brown-Drake Maye Connection on Full Display at Patriots' Practice originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
When the Patriots acquired A.J. Brown from the Eagles, they knew what they were getting: a superstar receiver who can take over games by himself to pair with quarterback Drake Maye. On Friday, the potential of that duo was on full display.
On Day 6 of the team's training camp, all indications were that Brown was the star of practice. The Boston Herald's Doug Kyed noted that Maye connected on all four of his attempts to Brown.
Two of those receptions came in the end zone. Brown snagged a perfect over-the-shoulder lob from Maye:
Brown also ran a sharp route and plucked the ball out of the air with one hand:

WWE SummerSlam 2026 emanates from Minneapolis, Minn. this weekend, and betting odds suggest that most WWE champions will walk out of US Bank Stadium with their ***** les in tow—with the exception of one champion.
Chad Gable is a heavy favorite to dethrone Penta and win his first WWE Intercontinental Championship in his hometown of Minneapolis at WWE's biggest show of the summer. Gable is set to compete on Night 2 of SummerSlam where he will join fellow Minnesotan Brock Lesnar as amateur wrestlers with a hometown advantage, though Brock will compete against Oba Femi on Night 1.
Gable has enjoyed a redemption arc ever since coming up short in the 2026 Match of the Year against El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) at El Noche de los Grandes for the right to don the sacred mask and namesake. Gable's performance jumpstarted his up-and-down career, and was even replayed on Netflix following the June 1 broadcast of WWE Raw. With his heel persona behind him, and after conquering the dark arts of lucha libre, an unmasked Gable has made amends with Alpha Academy and former lucha opps like Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee and Penta, whom Gable will challenge for the IC ***** le after winning a No. 1 Contender's Gauntlet on WWE Raw.
Gable finds himself as the biggest favorite of Night 2 with -1500 odds per BetOnline, while Lesnar is the biggest underdog of either night with +900 odds to topple Oba Femi (-3000) in their rubber match inside ***** in a Cell.

Generally speaking, when a fighter says they're in the best shape of their lives before a fight, there's an urge to take a big swig of the old giggle water, because there's scarcely been a fighter in world history who wasn't.
Yet when Daniel Rodriguez says he notices he's been working harder than usual, almost as an outside observer to himself with a new lease on reason, you tend to listen. That's because until April, Rodriguez was in a Tijuana jail cell, where he'd spent the last eight months on a marijuana possession rap, far longer than a borderline bogus charge should warrant. He was able to hit some pads and do some "roadwork" in the yard, and even had a heavy bag at his disposal, but there was nary a nutritionist on site, nor were his coaches there to guide him, or a sauna, a ring, or really any of the creature comforts of a training facility.
Since April he's been working like a madman splitting time in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to catch his body up to the task of fighting Uros Medic this Saturday at UFC Belgrade in Serbia, yet it's doubtful Rodriguez is in the best physical shape of his life at 39.
But so what? He has never felt freer than he is right now in Belgrade, walking straight into the wheelhouse of the country's free-swinging ****** assin.
"You know what?" Rodriguez says, "I think I've handled it pretty well, man. I've handled this like a true professional. From the condition that I was in when I was released to where I'm at now and all the preparation and the whole fight camp and everything in between from then till now, the ups and downs, it's been a roller-coaster.

WEST SACRAMENTO — Jarren Duran was clearly mad after he hit a 245-foot fly-out to left field during the sixth inning Thursday.
It's just unclear if he was mad at teammate Willson Contreras, third base coach Chad Epperson or himself.
The Red Sox won 5-4 over the Athletics at Sutter Health Park, earning their seventh consecutive series victory. But Duran's on-field antics received as much attention as Boston's comeback, if not more.
BETTING: Red Sox moneyline is set at +116 on FanDuel for Friday night's game against the Dodgers. Our complete FanDuel Sportsbook review provides an in-depth guide on how to use their app.
Epperson held Contreras at third base on Duran's shallow fly ball. As Duran headed to the dugout, he gestured toward third base, raising his arm and yelling something.

UFC CEO Dana White on Friday responded to the recent arrest and allegations against one of his former ******* le challengers with an interesting take.
Former middleweight ******* le challenger Anthony Smith was arrested earlier this week in Nebraska after an alleged altercation with his wife at a bar in Gretna, Neb. Smith, 38, was charged with three felonies: first-degree domestic ******* ault, terroristic threats and first-degree false imprisonment. He was released on a $500,000 bond, ordered to stay away from his wife, and is scheduled to return to court Aug. 17.
The charges against him, according to the Sarpy County Attorney's Office, include some frightening details. Smith, it is alleged, threatened to kill his wife if she did not leave with him. Then, the charges say he forced her into the vehicle. Additionally, investigators determined Smith tried multiple times to hit his wife with the vehicle after she escaped while he was driving, but was unsuccessful. Smith turned himself in, officials said, after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Smith, to no surprise, has not commented publicly about the arrest or charges. He regularly works the UFC's broadcast desk as an ******* yst on Paramount+ for pre- and post-fight UFC shows.
His former boss, White, on Friday told The Mac Life the allegations were a surprise to him, but also compared it to his own recent time in the headlines when he was caught on camera slapping his wife in Mexico.

It would take a very clever person indeed to say at this stage where Ayyoub Bouaddi (18) will be playing in the 2026-27 season. Although he is reported to be very close to joining Manchester City – with whom he is said to have already reached an agreement – the Moroccan midfielder remains, for the time being, a Lille OSC player.
An important point that his chairman, Olivier Létang, present at a press conference on Friday, took great care to remind the media of. Whilst he explained that Ayyoub's situation had "not changed" since he last spoke in mid-July, and acknowledged interest from "very, very big clubs", the 53-year-old club executive was nevertheless keen to deny an "imminent deal with a club that plays in sky blue", despite reportedly having received several concrete offers – not just from Manchester City – since the transfer window opened.
"I told you last time that I thought Ayyoub (Bouaddi) was going to stay with us, and I still stand by that," he added. "The idea remains the same: to have a competitive team. If clubs come in at the end of the transfer window for a particular position and we're not in a position to replace the player, then we won't go ahead with the deal."
And although an offer of €100m – matching the player's valuation – would inevitably make him consider a move, Létang was careful to point out that the player's own wishes were also a key factor in any transfer.
"We're in regular contact with Ayyoub (Bouaddi); he's not in a hurry to leave, and he's very keen to stay here too. When you're 18 and at a club like LOSC, where you have the opportunity to play a significant number of matches – including in the Champions League – you naturally ask yourself, why leave now? […] I'll let him speak for himself when the time is right," he concluded.

Andreas Christensen's Barcelona career has been far from straightforward, but the club believe the defender has earned their trust through both his professionalism and willingness to help during one of their most difficult moments.
Although injuries and other setbacks have prevented the Danish international from establishing himself as a regular starter, his conduct behind the scenes has left a lasting impression on the club's hierarchy.
And, as per SPORT, those factors played an important role in the Blaugrana offering him a new two-year contract this summer even as he was recovering from an injury.
When Barcelona faced registration problems at the start of the 2024-25 season, Christensen played an important role in helping the club navigate the situation.

East Lansing — ****** ody on Michigan State's football roster published Wednesday is wearing the No. 1 jersey. That's for a particular reason.
Carrying over a tradition from his days at Northwestern's football coach, Pat Fitzgerald will have his Michigan State team vote on who gets to wear the No. 1 jersey. The selection will be based on who embodies team principles.
"We're gonna have that tradition started up this year," Fitzgerald said Wednesday at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. "... That person has an opportunity to wear No. 1 if they want. And if they have an affinity with their jersey, they'll put a No. 1 sticker on their helmet, but they'll be identified as the Spartan because he's the one that embodies our values — the work ethic, the commitment, the giving of himself for the greater good of his teammates better than anybody else."
More: Pat Fitzgerald hits right notes at media day: 'I understand our rivalry'
For Fitzgerald's old Northwestern teams, wearing the No. 1 was a special right for certain players who, though they may not have been the most talented or touted, gave their all. It's meant to be the antithesis of what No. 1 usually means — the kind of ****** y bravado that can rip a locker room apart.

Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen was set to travel to Amsterdam on Friday to undergo a medical at Ajax in a planned loan move from Barcelona, Spanish sports paper Marca has said.
Marca said that the clubs reached an agreement about the deal on Thursday after ter Stegen had agreed terms with the Dutch side at an earlier stage.
The clubs are yet to confirm the deal.
German international Ter Stegen, 34, has a Barcelona contract until 2028 but lost his place in the starting XI 12 months ago.
He went to Girona on loan in January but injured himself in the second match which also cost him playing for Germany at the recent World Cup.

The Athletic and Sky Germany both report that Borussia Mönchengladbach attacker Giovanni Reyna is in talks over a possible move to RC Strasbourg. Negotiations involving the 23-year-old United States international and the two clubs remain at an early stage. Gladbach are prepared to consider both a permanent sale and another loan for a player who only arrived at Borussia-Park last summer.
Should Reyna complete the move, Strasbourg would become his fourth club in four consecutive campaigns. An unsuccessful Nottingham Forest loan in 2023/24 was followed by one final season at Borussia Dortmund and an equally difficult year with Gladbach.
The Foals paid Dortmund an initial fee of approximately €4 million last summer. The total transfer package was reported to be capable of reaching around €7 million, while BVB retained a 15-percent sell-on clause.
Reyna signed a contract through 2028 and arrived hoping to restore both his club career and his position with the USMNT ahead of the World Cup on home soil.
His return to the national team ultimately proved more successful than his domestic campaign. Reyna made five appearances and scored once at the tournament, but never established himself as a regular in Mönchengladbach.

Cole Palmer says he is hungry to get back to his best after missing out on England's World Cup squad.
The Chelsea forward endured a frustrating last season, partly due to a groin injury, but says he is raring to go after a summer break.
"I didn't really know how to deal with it," Palmer admitted when asked about his injury last season.
"The first few months, with me being injured, I just wanted to go out and play. Which I probably shouldn't have done. Obviously I couldn't play how I wanted to play. It was a bad season personally with injuries and stuff but I feel good now. The seven weeks obviously helped. I'm ready to go again."
Palmer was a surprise absentee from Tuchel's World Cup squad, and says it has given him extra motivation to prove himself.

Arsenal are moving towards one of the biggest Premier League transfers of the summer, with The Times reporting that the club are close to agreeing an £80m deal for Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United.
The Brazil international has long been admired by **** nal and this latest push appears to have real momentum. A personal agreement is already in place with the 28-year-old midfielder, while the broader package, including add-ons, is understood to be nearing completion. From **** nal's side, this looks like a strategic move completed with conviction, rather than a late-market gamble.
Guimaraes has established himself as one of the Premier League's most influential central midfielders, bringing authority in possession, personality in key moments and a level of control that top clubs value highly. **** nal's previous interest never truly disappeared, and the current situation has given them the opening they needed.
Newcastle, for their part, appear to have been preparing for this possibility. Talks over Botafogo midfielder Danilo as a potential replacement suggest succession planning is already under way. That context matters, particularly at a time when there is uncertainty around the managerial position after Eddie Howe informed the club that he wants to leave.

Arsenal are one of the clubs interested in adding Kaishu Sano to their squad after closely following the Mainz 05 defensive midfielder over the last few months.
The ****** an international has established himself as one of the finest players in his position in the Bundesliga and has continued to impress with his performances for Mainz. His consistent displays have attracted interest from several clubs looking to strengthen their midfield options.
Sano is a tough-tackling, ball-playing midfielder who would suit the system Mikel Arteta currently employs at ****** nal. The Gunners believe his qualities could strengthen their midfield and provide another reliable option for the squad.
Liverpool are another club reported to be interested in signing the midfielder as they look to improve their own squad. However, it remains to be seen whether Mainz 05 will be willing to part with one of their key players before the transfer window closes.
According to Bulinews, Mainz 05 sporting director Christian Heidel has addressed Sano's future as the club prepares for the new season, with interest in the midfielder continuing to grow.

The following article contains a discussion of suicide.
Each day Mark Beard spends in recovery is a reminder of what could have been. He is living a version of the future that his brother, the late former Liverpool Women manager Matt Beard, could have had.
Mark is a professional development coach at Premier League club Hull City. His brother Matt was a revered women's football coach synonymous with Liverpool, where he won back-to-back Women's Super League ***** les in 2013 and 2014 before returning to guide them back into the top flight in 2022. He also led West Ham Women to an unlikely FA Cup final, was twice voted WSL manager of the season and was posthumously inducted into the league's Hall of Fame this year.
Matt died at the age of 47 last September. The inquest into his death is not concluded, but a coroner's court was told that he took his own life.
In the months after Matt's death, Mark went to Sporting Chance, the residential treatment facility and mental health clinic founded by former ***** nal and England captain Tony Adams to help professional sportspeople. Mark checked himself in to address the drinking that had spiralled out of control as he faced the reality of life without Matt.

As we are all well aware of, it has been an interesting summer for Juventus and their new CEO, Giovanni Carnevali. The transfer window has been one that has been slow to develop, but it's also one in which the majority of the Bianconeri's signings thus far have been ones in which we haven't really seen coming. That, of course, doesn't involve the long-standing negotiations that multiple Juve sporting chiefs had with Paris Saint-Germain for striker Randal Kolo Muani, a deal that is actually about to cross the finish line.
No, really. It is. Juventus are about to sign Kolo Muani after Carnevali reportedly got things done earlier this week.
We also know this because Carnevali himself told us that same exact thing during an interview on Thursday night in which he touched on Kolo Muani and the big surprise that came shortly after news broke of there being an agreement with the two-time defending European champions: the deal for Bosnian teenager Kerim Alajbegović.
On Kolo Muani front, Carnevali said the following:
"We're finalizing the deal for Kolo Muani now. It's been a long-running negotiation. When I arrived at Juve, I read the newspapers and thought it was a done deal, but it wasn't. There were some difficulties, and we needed to mend relations with PSG, remedying previous problems. We're finalizing the deal right now and we're in the final phase."

More than half of MAGA voters say they would support a Republican candidate accused of ******* ual ******* ault, according to a new poll.
In a recent Politico poll, 66 percent of MAGA voters who cast their ballot for President Trump in his last contest for the White House said they would back a GOP candidate even if "a former partner has accused the Republican candidate of ******* ual ******* ault" rather than support the Democratic candidate in a hypothetical congressional race.
Twenty-five percent of the MAGA voters said they would not cast their ballot for either candidate in the same hypothetical race, while 9 percent of the same group said they would cast their ballot for the Democrat.
In a larger group of Republican-leaning respondents, 42 percent said they would cast their ballot for the GOP candidate accused of ******* ual ******* ault, while 11 percent went for the Democrat and 47 percent went for neither.
MAGA voters showing support for a Republican candidate alleged to have committed ******* ual misconduct is not new. In fact, in May 2023, a jury found that Trump himself ******* ually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s.

SEATTLE (AP) — Less than six months removed from his first NFL ****** le, Sam Darnold briefly chuckled to himself.
Darnold was asked Thursday if he feels the narratives about him have gone by the wayside. For years, the discourse on Darnold centered around him being a bust, considering his pedigree as a former No. 3 overall pick, and a transient quarterback who hopped from team to team. Darnold's first year under center for the Seahawks, after all, marked his fifth team in eight seasons.
Despite the scrutiny, Darnold said his confidence in himself has never wavered.
"I don't allow myself to really pay attention to anything like that," Darnold said five days into training camp. "If I do catch wind of it, I have my process on how to handle that. Like I said, it's just about handling my process and doing it my way, so that when I get out there, it's not about what I've done or what I'm going to do, it's about what I'm doing right now.
"I think if I just continue to have that mindset as we go on, we'll be just fine."

"Robzilla" is extra motivated.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight Robert Valentin returns to action this weekend against hometown fighter Dusko Todorovic on the UFC Belgrade main card, which goes down Sat., Aug. 1, 2026, inside Belgrade Arena in Belgrade, Serbia.
And for the first time in a while, Valentin sounds like himself again.
It has been a brutal two years for the Swiss fighter, who entered UFC with plenty of eyeballs on him after a strong run on season 32 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF). Unfortunately, his official Octagon career got off to a nightmare start.
Valentin was stopped by eventual TUF winner Ryan Loder in the finale (watch highlights). He then was one half of one of the most boring fights you will ever watch when Torrez Finney wrestled him for 15 minutes. After that, Valentin got crushed by super prospect Ateba Gautier in one minute at UFC 319 (watch highlights).

It's fitting that two of the brightest starts at the final Rocket Classic have been two of the most dedicated golfers in the tournament's eight-year history.
Indiana native Peter Malnati led the field after the first round of the 2026 Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club, shooting a 9-under par on Thursday, July 30. Malnati's 61 overall tied a course record set by Jake Knapp in the 2025 Rocket Classic as Malnati had multiple opportunities not only to grab the course record for himself, but register a historic round of 59.
"Even in the beginning before I knew it was going to be a special day, I didn't feel the same level of like anxiety of, like, if I hit a bad shot, it means I suck," he said. "I just felt no, I'm going to enjoy the good ones. If I hit a bad one, I'm going to figure out why and how can I improve."
Not far behind him was fan favorite Rickie Fowler, who finished the first round tied for second at 7-under, two strokes back. Malnati and Fowler are two of the six golfers to have played in all eight editions of the Rocket Classic.
World No. 3 Cameron Young, the highest-ranked player at the tournament, finished at 1-under after the first round while World No. 5 Russell Henley finished at 3-under.

Santiago Castro is finally a Roma player.
The Argentine introduced himself with his first interview with the club.
"I wasn't expecting such a welcome; it was wonderful from the moment I arrived in the city. You could feel the fans' enthusiasm even when I came to play here. I thank the club and the club for placing their trust in me and giving me the opportunity to play for the team from the capital," he began, commenting on his arrival at Termini.
Regarding the timing of the deal, he then clarified that he pushed to come to the capital: "It was a short negotiation; from the very beginning, I pushed to come here. I had a meeting with the sporting director, where he explained what they wanted from me. I know what I can offer and how to help the manager, and as soon as I spoke to them, I chose to come here."
Castro also spoke about Gasperini: "I like Gasperini's style of play. He's been doing well for many years at both Atalanta and Roma, leading them to the Champions League. I'll do what he asks of me; I'm ready to play anywhere."

Seattle Seahawks star Sam Darnold was money in the clutch last season.
Pro Football Focus appraised Darnold as being the fourth highest-graded quarterback in clutch situations in 2025, defined as situations where teams trail by 14 points or fewer, or hold a lead of eight points or fewer in the fourth quarter or overtime, excluding garbage time, among players with at least 45 dropbacks.
"Darnold ranked among the NFL's top five quarterbacks in several key efficiency metrics, including accurate throw rate (73.3%, third), negatively graded play rate (8.9%, fifth) and yards per attempt (8.4, fifth)," PFF's Mark Chichester said. "The combination of accuracy, efficiency and ball security helped produce one of the strongest clutch seasons of any quarterback in 2025."
The Seahawks were able to win the Super Bowl at the end of last season thanks in part to Darnold's ability to deliver in big moments down the stretch throughout the year, which helped them reach the NFL's biggest stage to begin with. The USC product's elite arm and sound decision making late helped him established himself as a quarterback capable of winning games in a variety of ways last season.

Training camp is an opportunity for long shots and feel-good stories to make their names, and there might be no lesser-known quarterback receiving first-team reps than Jack Strand.
With the Atlanta Falcons' top two quarterbacks, Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr., held out of full-team practice on Thursday, Strand found himself handing off to Bijan Robinson and throwing to the likes of Drake London and Kyle Pitts.
Not bad for an undrafted rookie who less than a year ago was facing Division-II defenses at Minnesota State Moorhead.
When the Falcons opened camp, Tagovailoa was dealing with some back tightness and Michael Penix Jr. not yet cleared for full-team activities, it left Strand as the only fully healthy quarterback on the roster after the team released Trevor Siemian with a non-football injury designation.
"I didn't think about it too much," Strand told the Falcons' official website. "I'm coming into training camp and everything just trying to take it day by day. Keep attacking every day. Keep getting better every day. Whether I'm getting a bunch of reps or I'm not getting as many reps. Whatever reps that I do get, whether it's in Indy, whether it's in RVA, whether it's in team, anything, I'm just going to try to attack those reps and try to keep getting with those. And then also from watching the guys around me."

The Green Bay Packers are adding to the wide receiver room after two days of training camp. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Packers are signing Kaden Prather -- a 2025 draft pick of the Buffalo Bills who played in the UFL during the 2026 season -- to a one-year deal after a tryout on Thursday.
The Packers have 10 wide receivers on the current roster, although Brenden Rice was placed on the non-football injury list with a hamstring injury after Wednesday's practice. It's possible Prather (6-3, 209) could be a replacement for Rice as the 10th receiver. A corresponding roster move will be required.
Prather was the 240th overall pick in the 2025 draft. He was released from injured reserve by the Bills at final cuts last August and then played most recently with the UFL champion Louisville Kings, catching nine passes for 148 yards over nine games. Prather dealt with a hamstring injury during his only training camp in Buffalo.
Prather played two seasons at West Virginia before finishing his collegiate career at Maryland. He was an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick in 2023 after catching 42 passes for 666 yards and five touchdowns, and his senior season included a career-high 56 catches for 624 yards and four scores.
Prather's scouting report from Lance Zierlein of NFL.com: "Outside receiver with size and speed to create advantages downfield. Prather is not explosive -- though he builds and carries speed to create deep windows -- and needs to do a better job of finishing routes and catches. He's too leggy and tight-hipped to beat man coverage over the first two levels and he's not a natural pass catcher in traffic. Prather is a niche option as a field-stretcher with good height, weight and speed, but he might need to prove he can play special teams to give himself a legitimate roster shot."

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - Malik Nabers isn't yet declaring himself ready to play on Opening Night against the Dallas Cowboys, a primetime showdown at MetLife Stadium that won't be here for another 45 days.
Those of us watching from the sidelines at The Greenbrier Resort the past two practices of New York Giants' training camp will judge by body language, the smoothness of Nabers' routes and the lack of hesitancy in any of his football movement can and will make our own determinations.
The loudest and most definitive declaration of all: Nabers' smile, flashed several times following Thursday's practice when talking about his long and winding road back to the field, and whether there is any doubt he can be the player he was as a record-setting rookie for the Giants two seasons ago.
His bold answer: Malik Nabers promises to be even better.
"I got extreme confidence in myself," Nabers said. "I'm not going to put myself in any spot that I feel like I'm not going to be better than what I was before. So, I don't see myself being what I was before. What y'all saw my rookie year, I felt like that was basic. I left a lot of stuff on the field [in 2024]. I got high standards for myself. I know everybody has high standards for me, but the standard that I hold myself to is very high."
