Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin has not been assured that he will be the team's starting running back when he returns from a drug suspension, general manager Jason Licht told ESPN. Martin has three games remaining in his suspension and will return in Week 4 against the New York Giants. "Look, he has done everything we've asked him to do, and he looks reminiscent of 2015 when he was playing for his contract," Licht said.

Giants’ Casillas sees more give and take with Spagnuolo
Posted by The Associated Press under UncategorizedComments Off on Giants’ Casillas sees more give and take with Spagnuolo
No one on the New York Giants' defense has spent more time working with coordinator Steve Spagnuolo than weakside linebacker and captain Jonathan Casillas. The two worked together in New Orleans in 2012 when Spags was the Saints' coordinator, and they were reunited here two years ago when the detail-obsessed Spagnuolo was hired for a second tenure with the Giants by Tom Coughlin and retained when Ben McAdoo was elevated to head coach last season. Talking football is a constant for the two, and Casillas believes Spagnuolo is mellowing.

Ravens sign TE Larry Donnell, release UDFA WR Tim Patrick
Posted by Baltimore Beatdown under UncategorizedComments Off on Ravens sign TE Larry Donnell, release UDFA WR Tim Patrick
The Ravens have added former New York Giants tight end Larry Donnell and released undrafted free agent wide receiver Tim Patrick according to the team's official Twitter account. Donnell will add depth to a tight end position that has struggled with injuries this summer. It was reported last night that Gillmore had suffered a significant knee injury. The team has not yet commented on the severity of the injury, but the signing of Donnell is a sign that Gillmore's injury may in fact be serious, and something that could keep him out for a sizeable period. Donnell has started just 27 games in four seasons for the Giants. He has 969 career receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Donnell was often injured

Odell Beckham Jr. put on a show on the second day of training camp for the New York Giants, and no one may have enjoyed it more than fellow receiver Brandon Marshall. Signed by the Giants as a free agent in the offseason, the 33-year-old Marshall gives quarterback Eli Manning another option on the outside of the offense other than Beckham. The Giants used Victor Cruz there last season, but he just didn't have the speed and size to play on the outside and was released after the season. At 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, Marshall is a big target. He is a guy who has caught a 100 passes in a season and someone who has to be watched by opponents. He also is going to benefit playing with Beckham, one of

Eli Manning downplays the age factor as Giants open camp
Posted by The Associated Press under UncategorizedComments Off on Eli Manning downplays the age factor as Giants open camp
Entering his 14th season, the 36-year-old New York Giants quarterback just smiled Friday when asked about the number and comments by general manager Jerry Reese that the two-time Super Bowl MVP will be on somewhat of a pitch count in training camp. The goal seemingly is to limit the wear and tear on the ''old guy's'' arm heading into a season when the Giants have high hopes following their first playoff berth since winning the Lombardi Trophy in February 2012. ''I know how old I am,'' Manning said after the Giants held their first training camp workout.
