Apple shows support for the enemy

ELI Apple has more explaining to do. Apple, the Giants’ corner in the doghouse who was scratched for a fourth straight game on Sunday, retweeted a Twitter account hailing Cowboys running back Rod Smith’s 81-yard touchdown against his own Giants teammates.

Apple and Smith were Ohio State teammates in 2014, but … still.

Apple, 22, approached outside the Giants’ locker room after a 30-10 loss to Dallas, said he couldn’t talk but would be available to speak today at the team’s next open locker room.

Apple, listed out with ankle and back injuries, also tweeted a cryptic “gotta smile in times adversity” message with an upside-down smiling face as his team fell to 2-11.

Apple has been disciplined throughout the season. Ex-coach Ben McAdoo benched him for three series against the Chargers in Week 5 for reportedly yelling at an assistant coach in practice. Apple said after that game that the “culture” needed to change, implying he was a scapegoat.

Apple then reportedly was criticized in a team meeting for a lack of effort after the San Francisco loss and reportedly threatened to leave the team.

MoRE Pain

The Giants suffered yet another injury to a crucial player — this time strong safety Landon Collins. Collins left the game in the middle of the fourth quarter with a left ankle sprain after chasing down Cole Beasley on a 50-yard catch and run.

Collins walked off the field and did not return, but said it is only a mild sprain and is not expecting it to end his season.

“I guess I turned a different way and as my body went over my foot, something tweaked I guess,” he said.

Wide receiver Darius Powe, however, had his season end when he broke his right foot on his first career catch in the first half of his NFL debut. Powe said he knew his foot was broken when the play happened but kept playing through the pain.

“Until I couldn’t run no more,” Powe said.

Odell Beckham Jr. was back on the sidelines on Sunday, watching the Giants play while sitting on the bench.

After the Daily News criticized him for being mum on all the drama surrounding the team while consistently talking about himself, Beckham said earlier this week via Twitter that he would attend the game .

“I CANNNNT waitt to be back in Met Life Sunday. It’s time to get this train back on the right track. 10 .... lead the way brotha. We all support you,” he tweeted. — with John Healy
