Giants head coach provides update on former LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers after injury
After a shoulder injury earlier this week, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is "good" and will return to practice on Wednesday, per head coach Brian Daboll. ESPN's Adam Schefter made the report on Wednesday.
The former LSU football star suffered the injury during Tuesday's practice. He grabbed at his shoulder following a run block and went to the ground. After walking off the field under his own power, he met with the team's athletic trainer and didn't return to practice.
The ailment adds to Nabers' ongoing toe injury that dates back to his days in Baton Rouge. It held him out of organized team activities (OTAs) earlier in the offseason, and he spoke about staying on top of it during an interview on the "Up & Adams" show Monday.
Nabers will enter his second professional season after a No. 6 overall selection by the Giants in the 2024 NFL Draft. He was a front-runner for last year's offensive rookie of the year honor after accumulating 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 109 receptions.
Despite dealing with a revolving door at the quarterback position, Nabers averaged 11 yards per catch and was a bright spot in an otherwise dull offense. The Giants brought in Russel Wilson, Jameis Winston, and fellow rookie Jaxon Dart to compete for the starting quarterback role.

NFL on the verge of selling media assets to ESPN for an equity stake in the network, AP source says
The NFL and ESPN are expected to announce an agreement next week under which most of the league's significant media holdings will go to the sports network. People familiar with the transaction said the multibillion-dollar deal would give the NFL an equity stake in ESPN. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been finalized. It was first reported by The Athletic. The NFL and ESPN had no comment. The NFL has been trying to sell its media properties for nearly five years. ESPN and the league have been involved in on-again, off-again talks for the past three years. The proposed move comes as ESPN is expected to soon launch its direct-to-consumer service, likely before the end of August. The service would give cord cutters access to all of ESPN's programs and networks for $29.99 per month. Most cable, satellite and viewers who have streaming services will receive the service for free as part of their subscription. ESPN would get access to the popular RedZone channel, as well as NFL Network and an additional seven regular-season games (six international and a Saturday afternoon late-season contest). A couple of weeks ago, ESPN announced that NFL Network host Rich Eisen's three-hour program would air on ESPN Radio as well as stream on Disney+ and ESPN+. 'The Rich Eisen Show' is not affiliated with NFL Network. ESPN has carried NFL games since 1987 and 'Monday Night Football' since 2006. Under the current TV contract, it will have the 2027 and 2031 Super Bowls for the first time. NFL Network started in November 2003 and was the second major pro league to have its own network. NBA TV started in 1999, MLB Network in 2009 and NHL Network in the United States in 2007. ___ AP NFL:

Panthers CB Jaycee Horn says this WR has been 'impossible to guard' in training camp
"He's been impossible to guard..." 🤯Pro Bowl CB Jaycee Horn says Hunter Renfrow is making plays out of the slot — and that Jimmy Horn Jr.'s "game-changing speed" has stood out ⚡️@heykayadams | @jayceehorn_10 | @Panthers #KeepPounding The comeback story of Carolina Panthers wideout Hunter Renfrow just keeps getting better and better. Following this morning's outing at training camp, cornerback Jaycee Horn joined the set for Friday's episode of Up & Adams. When asked by host Kay Adams about the team's receivers, the Pro Bowl defender had quite the praise for a few guys—including Renfrow . . . Renfrow, who missed the entire 2024 campaign due to ulcerative colitis, signed a one-year deal with the Panthers this past spring. Since then, the 29-year-old veteran has impressed many members of the organization, including head coach Dave Canales and quarterback Bryce Young. Canales highlighted Renfrow's performance following last Saturday's practice. "It's just the Hunter Renfrow I remember," Canales told reporters. "He looks healthy. I think everyone who's watched football over the last four or five years remembers what he looks like, and he's really playing in top form right now. I'm really excited to have him here and to have his family, which is right down the road here after this practice, just to be able to connect with him. And it's a great story that's unfolding right before our eyes." Despite being in a pretty crowded wide receiver room, Renfrow has defied the odds and made himself an early favorite for Carolina's initial 53-man roster. And if that's the case, then Horn won't have to worry about guarding him in the reps that actually count. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.
