New York Giants training camp: Top 5 plays from Week 2

New York Giants training camp: Top 5 plays from Week 2

Yahoo18 hours ago
The New York Giants are through two weeks of training camp and will begin preparing for the preseason next week. First up is the Buffalo Bills, who host Big Blue on Saturday afternoon.
But before looking ahead, we'll take a moment to look back at the week that was.
Here's a look at the top five plays of the week.
5. Moonball
Wide receiver Malik Nabers makes so many highlight catches that this one just seems routine. But it really wasn't. Nabers went up and high-pointed a moonball from quarterback Russell Wilson for a 50-yard gain.
4. Dart dot
Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Montrell Washington linked up several times in Week 2, and a few of those plays warrant a spot on this list. However, the ball placement on one of their Thursday connections was elite.
3. One-handed snag
Cornerback Art Green opened the second week of training camp practice with a dazzler, intercepting veteran quarterback Jameis Winston using only one hand. The player/fan reaction tells the story.
2. Unblockable
There is not a single practice that goes by in which rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter doesn't stand out. He's an unstoppable, unblockable force, and the offensive line learned that once again in Week 2. At first glance, this play seems unremarkable. But the more you watch it, the more remarkable it becomes.
1. Wild Wan'Dale
Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson made a circus catch during practice on Saturday, hauling in an underthrown ball from quarterback Russell Wilson that cornerback Dru Phillips had made a good play on. Sometimes the ball just bounces the right way. Literally.

Versatile €30m forward told he can join Liverpool

Liverpool are conducting big changes in their attack line this summer. Luis Diaz has already left the club - and we could see the likes of Federico Chiesa, Ben Doak and Federico Chiesa join him on the list of departures. Space has been made in the squad - and the budget - for new arrivals like Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today!

We could even see the Reds complete another British record deal - having paid up to £116m for Wirtz - depending on what happens with Alexander Isak. And although it's unlikely that he arrives this summer, there is another versatile attacker appearing on the Reds' radar. Baris Alper Yilmaz, 25, won the Turkish league and cup double with Galatasaray last season. Baris Alper Yilmaz linked with Liverpool The Turkey international - who is equally comfortable playing left or right wing - scored 14 goals and added six assists overall for the Istanbul giants. Following another stellar campaign, he has been mooted as a potential departure - with Turkish reports suggesting that West Ham could be a destination. However, his coach, Okan Buruk, believes he is TOO GOOD for the Hammers and should instead hold out one more year for Liverpool to come calling. Gala coach says wait for Liverpool That's according to a new report from Galatasaray reporter Ali Naci Küçük, who discussed the player's transfer situation on the SkySpor YouTube channel. "Barış has no intention of leaving," the report said. "Barış Alper Yılmaz has a truly special and distinct place for Okan Buruk. 'Coach Okan told Barış, 'Europe's eyes are on Galatasaray right now... Instead of going to West Ham, go to Tottenham or Liverpool.'"

Caleb Williams Watch: How Bears QB performed on Day 7 of training camp

The Chicago Bears continued training camp on Wednesday morning with their seventh practice of the summer, and there was plenty to break down from Day 7 -- including the performance of quarterback Caleb Williams. Williams is entering his second season following a rocky rookie year that included two head coaches, three offensive coordinators, being sacked a league-high 68 times, a 10-game losing streak and a 5-12 record. But the Bears prioritized Williams' development this offseason with the hiring of offensive guru Ben Johnson as head coach, overhauling the interior offensive line and adding even more weapons to the mix. All eyes will be on Williams this summer as he continues to learn Johnson's offense and looks to find a rhythm heading into Year 2. We're taking a look at the good, the bad and the noteworthy with Williams from the seventh practice of Bears training camp: The Good Williams has really stepped up following a rough start to training camp, and that continued into Wednesday's lighter, red-zone simulated practice. According to Bear Report's Zack Pearson, the starting offense got off to a strong start during the 11-on-11 period. Williams connected with wide receivers DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Luther Burden III on consecutive pass attempts. His best was to Burden, where Williams "threaded the needle" (per The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain) in the completion inside the five-yard line. While the final 11-on-11 red zone period wasn't pretty (more on that below), Williams still managed to put an exclamation on it with a touchdown on a read option. The Bad While Williams and the starting offense got off to a strong start, they did struggle during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, per Pearson. During the low red zone 7-on-7 work, Williams completed just 1 of 5 passes (his completion coming to running back Kyle Monangai out of the backfield for a touchdown.) One of his incompletions was to rookie tight end Colston Loveland, who slipped and fell down and was unable to haul it in. Pearson noted that during 11-on-11 that Williams went 0-for-2 and was sacked. But Williams did use his legs to find the end zone on a read option. The Noteworthy The Bears used their first two draft picks on offensive weapons for Williams, so it's a good thing that both are already showcasing they can be impact players in this offense -- and favorite targets for the second-year quarterback. The past two days have been about Williams' connection with rookie tight end Colston Loveland. But Wednesday's practice showed that Williams also has a budding connection with rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III, who practiced in team drills for just the second time. Burden was on the receiving end of two of the best plays of the day in this rather uneventful practice. On the first play, Williams hit Burden across the middle and the second-round rookie ran into the end zone prompting an ovation from the fans in attendance. On the second play, Burden made an impressive catch in the back of the end zone -- which Greg Braggs called "the play of the day" -- where it's up for debate whether he was in bounds or not. Still, it was a great catch. It's worth noting that this is the first time Williams has had the opportunity to throw to Loveland and Burden as both missed the veteran portion of the offseason program due to injury. The more reps the young rookies get with Williams, the more dangerous this offense becomes.

Sophie Cunningham Facing Criticism For 'Weird' Behavior With Teammates

Sophie Cunningham Facing Criticism For 'Weird' Behavior With Teammates originally appeared on The Spun. WNBA star Sophie Cunningham might be playing some of the best basketball of her career right now, and yet, she's receiving a decent amount of criticism on social media. Cunningham stepped up for the Indiana Fever on Sunday, dropping 17 points in a 78-74 victory over the Seattle Storm. She has really stepped up during Caitlin Clark's absence, averaging 11.7 points per contest over the past two weeks. Off the court, Cunningham is keeping herself busy with her new "Show Me Something" podcast. During her debut episode, she ripped the current state of officiating in the WNBA. "If I was a ref, I know I would mess up all the time," Cunningham said. "I'm not saying that your job is easy. But when it is a a simple call right in front of your face multiple times, what are you doing? What are you doing? They're just so inconsistent. Like, if you're on the other team and you're going to be fining the [expletive] out of me, cool. But let me do it to you. Yeah. You know what I mean?" For the most part, fans appreciated Cunningham's honesty on her podcast. What they didn't like was her pregame interaction with Fever guard Sydney Colson Cunningham and Lexie Hull basically sat on Colson as she was lacing up her sneakers on the hardwood. It seemed like a playful interaction, but some people found it to be weird and downright childish. "This is actually very weird," one fan replied after seeing this video. "Diabolical," a second fan commented. "That is so childish," another fan wrote. "I don't like this one bit and I'm not debating," a fourth fan said. The Fever are riding a five-game winning streak right now, so there shouldn't be any concerns about the culture in the locker room. Besides, this genuinely seemed like a joke between teammates and nothing more. Do you think Cunningham crossed the line? Or are her critics trying to make something out of nothing?Sophie Cunningham Facing Criticism For 'Weird' Behavior With Teammates first appeared on The Spun on Aug 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
