Denver coach Gary Kubiak says that in his 32 years in the NFL he's never seen this much depth or deftness at wide receiver. ''I've said from day one: that really has the chance to be the strength of our team,'' Kubiak said Sunday. Last year, there were Pro Bowlers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders and not much else, as those two pass catchers accounted for 80 percent of the team's production at wide receiver.

For a couple of minutes, it seemed the injury bug had gotten the New York Giants again. All eyes and hands were focused on his left ankle and foot that had been stepped on by cornerback Janoris Jenkins on a pass play. Beckham would eventually limp to the sideline and then leave the indoor practice field a couple of minutes later on a cart to have the foot examined.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he doesn't like going up against NFL games when he debates Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton this fall and that the football league complained to him about the debate schedule in a letter.

In an interview with ABC's Sunday show ''This Week,'' Trump was asked if he would accept the commission's schedule.

The one missing, of course, is first-round draft pick Joey Bosa.

New coach Ben McAdoo isn't going to be limited by the belief that rookies need time to adjust to the NFL before playing. Cornerback Eli Apple, receiver Sterling Shepard and safety Darian Thompson - the team's first, second and third-round draft picks, respectively, - were working with the first-team units Saturday as the Giants held their first outdoor practice since reporting to training camp.

Peyton Manning's legacy lives on at Denver Broncos headquarters, the latest example coming Friday when second-year wide receiver Jordan Taylor made a ridiculous Odell Beckham Jr.-esque one-handed catch . Taylor is a second-year pro who went from practice squad player to Manning's personal workout partner last season when the quarterback was recovering from a foot injury. Taylor was tightly covered by cornerback Taurean Nixon when he spun around and stretched his 6-foot-5 frame, grabbed Mark Sanchez's 45-yard throw with his right hand and held on as he somersaulted out of bounds.
