Hyatt lost his starting receiver spot during his sophomore season at Tennessee in 2021. Two games into the year, he was benched. It was a wake-up call and it showed him that his game preparation wasn't good enough.

The major knee injury suffered by New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers has reignited discussions about the turf playing surface at MetLife Stadium.

The executive added that if a player is nursing an injury, he might be less apt to play through it for a game at MetLife.

A man who opened fire during a July shooting in Auburn, New York, has pleaded guilty to murder and illegal firearm possession, officials announced.

The name of Patrick Mahomes has been used around the Giants for years. It goes all the way back to when head coach Ben McAdoo was lobbying for the Giants to draft him in 2017. He was already off the board and selected by Kansas City by the time they got around to picking Evan Engram. Then general manager Dave Gettleman began evoking Mahomes after he drafted Daniel Jones with Eli Manning already on the roster in 2019.
