Malik Nabers missing practice could have chain effect for Giants
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz and senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein discuss the New York wide receiver's recent toe injury and what his continued absence could mean for the Giants' chances this season. Hear the full conversation on 'Inside Coverage' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Uh, Malik Neighbors missed practice again. He's been out since August 6th with a toe injury. Uh, all eyes have been on the quarterback battle, and no Malik at this point just feels like that has to impact the entire process of quarterback evaluation and development. What they're going to put on the field during a season like this. This is substantial simply because of what the Giants are up against this year. Absolutely. And I think also when you look at this, and we talked yesterday on the show about Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen, the win-now mandate in 2025 and how the quarterbacks factor into this. To me, if you're Russell Wilson and you're trying to stave off Jackson Dart from getting that starting position after he had a strong preseason game, you have to ask yourself, well, if you don't have Malik Neighbors at receiver, do you feel as confident about your ability to be the best guy? Also, Malik, was that guy who you felt, well, if Russell Wilson's strength is his moon ball, Malik Neighbors is the one who's going to catch it, and now you might not have that. So I think you do have real questions about what this means for the quarterback competition. Also, if Malik Neighbors is arguably the most talented player on that offense, I know they've got some great defensive linemen, so I'm not going to go against that. And they're not winning as many games, let's say, because he's out. Well, what does that mean for the future of the Giants' coach, front office, and general manager? Yeah, it's, gosh, for me, look, this defensive line is so good. I know this defensive line has a chance of being one of the best in the league, and my God, I feel like the Giants are poised to try and win games 6 to 3. You know, maybe that's the only way. But all of this Jackson Dart conversation, every time he plays well in the preseason, it's just going to create more "when does Jackson Dart get to play" sort of moments, and you're right, if this offense is stagnant at all, the first thing people are going to start doing is calling for a change of quarterback because there are so many quarterbacks in that room, and there's a first-round pick in that room they're trying to develop. So if you're a Giants fan, your hope is that, hey, you want Russ to play so well that Jackson doesn't have to play. You're winning games and Jackson's developing, or you want Jackson to win the job so clearly that he comes in and dominates. I don't know how either of those things can happen without Malik Nebors.

Little League World Series - What to watch for in Williamsport
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton discuss the top storylines for this year's tournament. View more Video Transcript Little League World Series has a bunch of storylines on it. Clarendon Hills won the Great Lakes Regional this year. Now they make their first ever Little League World Series appearance. That's awesome. No Illinois team, shockingly, has ever won the tournament, Caroline, that's a little nugget for you there. So see what they can do. I'll give you another nugget. You ready for another nugget on this one? I'm always ready for nuggets. Look at this. Glenmore Eagles on fire. Glenmore Eagles have won 14 straight. All right, that's amazing. And the Glenmore Eagles have the shortest trip to Williamsport. They only have to go 160 miles. So I feel like they're gonna, the crowd's gonna be rocking like there's gonna be more signs for them. People are gonna be out there. That's gonna be a good one. I'll give you that for the Eagles. How much travel fatigue exists for 12 year olds? When we get to the last team, you'll, you'll regret asking that question because it's big. Definitely big. Let me go next to South Dakota. South Dakota never won the Little League World Series, but Sioux Falls is getting their second straight shot at it. So it's rare to get back to back. Sioux Falls going in for the second straight time. So a little bit of South Dakota, by the way, when I was a little kid, I used to go to Wall Drug all the time in South Dakota. So, shout out to Wall, South Dakota. Nobody ever needed that. And now, your travel question. Ready for this one? Summerlin South is trying to become the first team from Nevada to win the Little League World Series, but they're the third straight team from Southern Nevada to represent the mountain regions. So that's a long fight, long fight. Gotta go from Southern Nevada all the way to Williamsport. Hey, get yourself a juice box and a granola bar and get out there. Go get them, Nevada. I don't know why you went juice box and granola bar, but like I just like, just make kids get up and stretch, walk around the flight a little bit, make sure that you keep the circulation going. When you're older, you'll be glad that you did. Uh, your circulation is just fine. I mean, my my my circulation and my joint pain, now that's a different story. But when you're, you know, hey, 11 years old, get out there, you know, go, go to your pizza party, go enjoy, go have fun, but the just the pure joy of the Little League World Series always. Gives me what's. Close

Jordan Love tears finger ligament - panic time for Packers?
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton react to the breaking news that the Packers quarterback suffered a torn left thumb ligament in practice. View more Video Transcript Breaking news on Yahoo Sports Daily. Ian Rapoport reporting. Packers quarterback Jordan Love tore a ligament in his left thumb, and had a procedure to repair it. It's called a quote, a little procedure. I'm not sure if you can have a little procedure. He shouldn't miss any regular season time after banging it on a helmet, taking a sack. Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz on Yahoo Sports Day, and Caroline, I don't think that this is, you know, necessarily something to cause panic, but certainly, anytime you have an issue with the thumb on the quarterback, even though it's a non-throwing hand, it's still going to make everybody a little bit nervous. Of course, and, you know, a little procedure makes me laugh a little bit, like just, just a teeny tiny little procedure, just as a treat. Like you don't want to hear this at all from your starting quarterback. The positive news is it is his left thumb. It is not his throwing thumb. That doesn't mean that you don't still use your left hand. As a quarterback, it is obviously something that we need to consider. It's another question that I have about how important is training camp, how important are these preseason reps if Jordan Love isn't able to get them, and then he's back out there week one. Are we going to see a little bit of a ramping-up period? Are we going to see, you know, some time where he's a little bit rusty, perhaps. Obviously something to monitor here, but I don't think it's panic time in Green Bay just based off of this reporting. Close
