NY Giants react to Manhattan shooting in NFL headquarters building
Giants head Brian Daboll opened his news conference before Tuesday morning's training camp practice by extending thoughts and prayers to all those affected in the shooting.
'We all saw what happened there at 345 Park (Avenue). Tragic,' Daboll said.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with the people who were affected in that tragedy here with the Giants."
The shooter, identified as Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas, entered the Park Avenue building Monday evening and fatally shot at least four people, including a New York City police officer, before killing himself.
According to reports, Tamura was attempting to target the NFL's headquarters, located in the building. One NFL employee was wounded in the shooting.
The shooter left a note that appeared to blame the NFL for CTE, a brain injury he felt he had, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a July 29 appearance on CBS's 'This Morning' program.
The Giants continued with their typical security procedures for the training sessions with fans allowing to attend camp, which is located at Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford.

Cleveland.com gives promising update on ex-CU Buff Shedeur Sanders after facing Browns' first-team defense
Shedeur Sanders may finally be making headway in the Cleveland Browns' four-man quarterback competition. On Wednesday, the 'Grown QB' got his first reps against the Browns' first-team defense. Sanders impressed, showing a firm grasp on Kevin Stefanski's play-action-heavy offensive sets while throwing on the move. Mary Kay Cabot, Dan Labbe, Scott Patsko, and Ashley Bastock conceded that Sanders has earned consideration to move up the depth chart following that performance. 'A significant shift in the Cleveland Browns quarterback competition emerged Wednesday when rookie Shedeur Sanders earned his first opportunity against the team's starting defense — and made the most of it,' they wrote. 'While still working with the second-team offense, Sanders faced the daunting task of going against the Browns' defensive starters, including Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome II. It marked a critical step in his development and potential rise up the depth chart.' Kenny Pickett's hamstring injury opened the door for Sanders, and the CU Buffs record-breaker kicked it down on Wednesday. With everyone expecting him to fail, Shedeur showed that he could be a quick learner in a system that wildly varies from Pat Shurmur's in Boulder, Colorado. Dillon Gabriel was expected to become the primary beneficiary of Pickett's injury, but Sanders has flipped the narrative on its head. There are now four viable starting options in Berea. If Sanders can continue his progress, perhaps his fall to the fifth round of the 2025 draft could prove to be the humbling experience needed to mold him into a starting-caliber NFL signal-caller.

Marshawn Lloyd dealing with short-term groin injury
One of Green Bay's running backs is currently sidelined, but that shouldn't be the case for too long. Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Thursday that MarShawn Lloyd is dealing with a groin issue. "It's not going to be a long-term deal, but I wouldn't anticipate him this week," LaFleur said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Lloyd, 24, was a third-round pick in last year's draft. He was able to play just one game last year as a rookie due to injury and subsequent appendicitis.

Surprise! Saints tight end Juwan Johnson returns to practice after injury scare
Despite earlier reports suggesting Juwan Johnson would miss time due to a groin injury, the New Orleans Saints tight end appears ready to go. Johnson was spotted practicing in full pads on Day 7 of training camp, a strong sign that he's cleared for practice and that his injury is not a concern. The update comes shortly after the Cincinnati Bengals signed Noah Fant -- who recently visited New Orleans -- further reinforcing the team's confidence in Johnson's health and availability on the field. Keeping Johnson on the field, particularly in the early part of the season, will be critical for the Saints offense. Both Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill are still recovering from injuries and may not be available for Week 1. While Michael Jacobson and Treyton Welch have shown flashes during camp, their lack of game experience (and Welch's own injury) makes Johnson's presence all the more important. A healthy Juwan Johnson could go a long way for a Saints team in transition. As an athletic safety blanket for a young quarterback, his presence could be exactly what this offense needs to find its rhythm early in the season. Getting him back on the field is an encouraging sign for this team. This article originally appeared on Saints Wire: Saints training camp: Tight end Juwan Johnson (groin) back at practice
