Giants' Nabers should be ready for training camp after sitting out spring practices with toe issue
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers should be available to practice for the start of training camp next month after sitting out during the spring with a toe issue. Coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Nabers was 'doing good' and he had no concerns that the injury would affect his availability. 'Every person's at a different part in, call it rehab if you will or prehab,' Daboll said, 'and we just did what we thought was best for Malik to try to get him as healthy as we can.' Daboll said last month during organized team activities that the Giants were simply being cautious with Nabers, who has had an issue with the toe since his college days at LSU. Daboll also said then that Nabers didn't need any procedures on his toe during the offseason. Nabers didn't practice in the sessions open to reporters during OTAs and minicamp, but participated in some of the team's walkthrough periods. 'He's had some issues, like I said, in the past, in college with it,' Daboll said. 'And again, that was the plan that we came up with for him and for our football team.' Nabers, the sixth overall pick in the draft last year, caught an NFL rookie-record 109 passes last season while setting the franchise mark for most receptions in a season. Nabers also tied former Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. for the NFL record for fewest games needed for 100 career catches, reaching the milestone in just 14 games. Left tackle Andrew Thomas also didn't practice throughout the spring while he works his way back from surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury to his right foot that sidelined him the final 11 games. Three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence didn't practice in team drills, but participated in individual drills during OTAs and minicamp. Third-round defensive tackle Darius Alexander and fourth-round running back Cam Skattebo also didn't practice fully in minicamp because of undisclosed injuries. 'They're progressing,' Daboll said. 'They'll do everything they can do to get ready and hopefully they'll be ready to go.' ___ AP NFL:

From 'Love Island' to the practice field, Jaxson Dart is already fitting in with the Giants' QBs
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — It took no time for Jaxson Dart to become one of the guys in the New York Giants ' quarterbacks room. The first-round draft pick from Mississippi is drawing rave reviews for his work on and off the football field — and his competitive approach and cool confidence have helped him easily get along with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. The four often have dinner together and hang out away from the facility. DeVito also dropped the news that practice videos aren't all they watch together. The two also occasionally tune into 'Love Island,' the popular Peacock reality dating series. 'I can't say we do it every night, but from time to time if we get an off day,' a smiling DeVito said Wednesday after the Giants wrapped up minicamp. 'Yeah, we watch it, we talk about it.' Not only that, the two have tossed around the idea of someday being contestants. 'Me and Jaxson might go on 'Love Island,'' DeVito said. 'We've talked about it. So, you really don't know what's about to happen.' That could also be said of the Giants' quarterback situation as they head into training camp. Wilson is the certain starter, but the spots behind him on the depth chart are up for grabs. And Dart will be given every chance to earn that No. 2 role. 'They've had this blueprint and they've done it with different quarterbacks and you've seen them succeed at the highest level, so I trust them,' Dart said. 'For me, I'm just trying to be the most coachable player that I can. I want to play well in the offense. I want to be able to manage it and operate it at the highest level. I know that they definitely do have a plan. I'm just trying to take it day by day and I'm not looking for results immediately. 'I'm a process driven person, so I'm just taking it day by day, rep by rep.' Coach Brian Daboll and the Giants loved what they saw from Dart when they evaluated him before the draft. So much so that general manager Joe Schoen traded back into the first round to take the Utah native with the 25th overall pick. Daboll has spoken about having a plan for Dart through the offseason and into training camp, and so far the rookie has done an 'excellent' job, according to the coach. 'He's fit right in with those guys,' Daboll said. 'He's smart, he's aggressive with the football, which I like. And then the true test will be once we start and there's live hitting and preseason games and things like that. But he's progressed since he's been here to where he is now. He's made good improvement.' Wilson has taken the majority of the snaps with the starters. But Dart has been in for a few plays with the starting offense, while primarily working with the second and third teams. 'It's good to get him in with the ones,' Daboll said. 'There's usually a level of anxiety at times for young players when they get thrown into the mix. It's not exactly planned in terms of he's getting rep (No.) 3. Sometimes we'll just say, 'Get in there.' Then he's calling plays in front of veterans that have done it at a high level. I think that's important.' Dart, who broke Eli Manning's school record for yards passing at Ole Miss, said he was 'swimming' a bit during his first few days in the NFL. But he has enjoyed having a lot of information thrown at him to see how much — and how quickly — he can absorb. 'I feel like I've made tremendous strides, especially from my first day to now, just being able to understand the pictures of the offense and whatnot,' Dart said. 'Obviously, I have to dive into a lot more, but I'm definitely just trying to take it to the next level over the summer. Really just lock in, hone in on as much as I can throughout this time, so that way when I get back for training camp, I'm on an even better level than I'm now.' And he can always turn to Wilson, Winston or DeVito — during commercial breaks, of course. 'Any time that I see them after practices sitting in the meeting room, I try to just sit down and listen,' Dart said. 'In the meeting rooms, trying to listen and then if I have questions on the field, I've got three great guys to talk to and ask for advice from. So, I'm constantly searching for that. I don't have any pride about myself going over to ask questions and I know that I definitely don't know everything. 'So I definitely want to pick those guys' brains because they've done it at the highest level and even won a Super Bowl.' ___ AP NFL:

Ex-NFL player Ramzee Robinson sues Chiefs for wrongful termination, racial discrimination
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former NFL defensive back is suing the Kansas City Chiefs for wrongful termination from his job as director of player engagement after accusing the franchise of discriminating against him because he is Black. Ramzee Robinson, who spent nine years with the Chiefs, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri on Sunday. In the lawsuit, Robinson claims that he was called into a meeting in February and accused of attacking a female co-worker, and that Chiefs refused to show him security video of the encounter. Robinson ultimately was fired from his position, which involved locker room management, mentorship and other responsibilities within the team. The lawsuit claims that Robinson was paid a salary of $125,000 by the Chiefs, but that his research found other NFL teams paid comparable positions an average salary of $171,932, not including other benefits. It also claims that 'the Chiefs paid African-American business employees less than their white counterparts.' Chiefs spokesman Brad Gee told The Associated Press on Wednesday that while he could not comment on pending legal matters, 'to be clear, the Chiefs do not tolerate discrimination of any kind.' 'We look forward to the facts of this case coming to light,' Gee said. The 41-year-old Robinson was the final player chosen in the 2007 draft by Detroit. He played in 19 games over two seasons for the Lions, then appeared in three games for Philadelphia and four for Cleveland in 2009. He never played for the Chiefs. ___ AP NFL:
