TURNING A CORNER

CB Ross Cockrell was with the Giants on Monday for his first practice with his new team since being traded from the Steelers.

The defensive back was excited to be with a team expecting to contend for a championship but now has a week to learn on the playbook before the season opener against Dallas.

“I’m just trying to learn the basics,” he said. “I have to get all the terminology down just to make sure when I get into the game plan, that I have those basic fundamentals down.”
