TRAINING DAY
ON BRAND’
Brandon Marshall had his best showing yet in training camp. The highlight was a juggling, one-handed touchdown catch on a deep ball from Eli Manning, beating
Eli Apple in the one-on-one drill. Marshall opened the team period with a reception on a crossing route. “I think we’re doing some good stuff,’’ Manning said.
DEAD RED
Sure, you can call it solid defense, but the first-, secondand third-team offense did not score in three red-zone possessions. Manning’s drive stalled when he failed to connect with Odell Beckham
Jr. in traffic, Josh Johnson went four-and-out and Geno
Smith, after picking up two first downs, fizzled when his fourth-down pass was batted down by Dalvin Tomlinson.
CAUGHT MY EYE
TE Will Tye might be facing an uphill battle to retain his roster spot, but he helped himself in this practice, making two catches in the two-minute drill, the second a difficult grab on the left side. Tye, if you recall, did have 48 receptions last season.
MEDICAL REPORT
Lo and behold, WR Sterling Shepard was in uniform and on the field for practice, five days after getting carted off with a sprained ankle. Shepard did not do much but he is running fine. WR Tavarres King (ankle) returned to practice. LB Keenan Robinson (concussion protocol) remains out. LB Mark Herzlich and DT Robert Thomas did not practice.
