Other Giant observations
Giants veteran right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor played with All-Pro Maxx Crosby as teammates with the Raiders, going against him regularly in practice, just as he has Carter since camp began.
'He has traits that you can't teach,' Eluemunor said of Carter. 'Certain things that – everyone has talent because you're in the NFL, everyone has hard work and determination – but there's a little thing that God just blessed you with that he has that I can count on one hand that guys in the NFL have. That's not to put any unrealistic expectations on his shoulders, but the sky is the limit for that kid – even higher than the sky.'
Pick No. 3: New York Giants: EDGE Abdul Carter Overall Rookie Grade: 82.2. Carter wasted no time showing off his potentially elite pass-rush ability. He rushed Mitchell Trubisky three times and generated a hurry on all three occasions. Two of those three pressures came against standout left tackle Dion Dawkins, while the third came as an inside rusher. Expect Carter to be used in several alignments throughout the season as the Giants deploy all of their best pass rushers.
Dart attacked the single-receiver side on three-by-one formations, hit some screens that became explosive plays and showed off his athleticism on scrambles, which Giants fans should be excited about. We'll see if the Giants decide to add more to his plate in the preseason, but they seem intent on sticking with the plans regardless of the flash plays he makes this preseason.
1. Jaxson Dart (New York Giants). Dart had the most impressive outing of any rookie quarterback in my mind because he was going up against some of the Buffalo starters and performed well in that settling. The Ole Miss product came in after Russell Wilson got the start and played the opening drive. In all, Dart was in the driver's seat for three scoring drives on his four first-half possessions. Dart looked comfortable in the pocket, made tight window throws, and when the pressure started to get home, he showed off his mobility with 24 yards on the ground.
His best play of the day was by far his 28-yard touchdown pass to Lil'Jordan Humphrey. On top of hitting his receiver in stride, Dart completed the pass despite a defender crashing towards him and taking a hit.
Jordan Bly is a NY Giants WR. His dad, the great Dre Bly, is a Jets DBs coach. An interesting subplot to joint practices is how those matchups go. No freebies to make the other look good is a guarantee. 'Competition is what our family is all about.'
To preview how much has changed this offseason, Jets and Giants reporters, Zack Rosenblatt and Charlotte Carroll, got together for a little back-and-forth to break down their respective teams.
Enhancements in place for the start of the NFL season include four new cornerstone video boards, a brand-new audio system, an updated distributed antenna system (DAS) that will increase 5G cellular capacity and coverage, and the installation of two sensory pods.

Rasmussen (10-5) reached double-digit wins for the second time in his career, but saw his AL-best scoreless streak end at 17 1/3 innings when Lawrence Butler hit a two-run homer in the third.

Yankees 1B Paul Goldschmidt has a right knee sprain and may go on IL
NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt has a low-grade right knee sprain and the New York Yankees may place the veteran first baseman on the injured list ahead of his return to St. Louis this weekend. The Yankees will evaluate Goldschmidt during their day off and will decide before Friday's game against the Cardinals if he will be placed on the IL. 'He's dealing with something so we'll see if it's an IL situation,' manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota. 'He was pretty sore last night and this morning. Feels like he's doing quite a bit better right now so we'll see.' Goldschmidt was injured chasing down a foul pop by Byron Buxton in the third inning of Tuesday's 9-1 victory. Goldschmidt overran the ball along the dirt track near the Yankee dugout and slipped before making the catch on the grass while slightly falling down. 'When I kind of overran it and dove back, hit my knee on the ground I guess,' Goldschmidt said. 'I felt that it was sore yesterday but obviously was able to play through it.' Goldschmidt stayed in Tuesday's game and hit a double in the seventh before being lifted with the Yankees holding an eight-run lead. 'As I was going to going back to my position, I was like 'that kind of hurt,' but stuff like that happens,' Goldschmidt said. 'So just felt like I could continue to play, which I did and it was fine.' Goldschmidt, who is hitting .404 off left-handed pitching this year, did not start Wednesday and did not pinch hit when Austin Wells batted and struck out against left-handed reliever Kody Funderburk in the seventh. Signed to a one-year, $12.5 million contract in December following six seasons with the Cardinals, the former NL MVP is hitting .276 with 10 homers and 40 RBIs in 112 games this season. He also has a .996 fielding percentage and has been charged with three errors in 745 chances this year. Ben Rice made his 26th start at first base Wednesday and Cody Bellinger has made two starts at first this season. Bellinger has started 273 games at first base during his nine-year career. 'He's been a huge part of his team,' Bellinger said about Goldschmidt. 'He's a vacuum over there. I played first before and I'm really appreciative what he does on the defensive side.' ___ AP MLB:
