With the suspension of Mark Ingram, which includes limitations to in-season game-planning and access to training over the first month of the year, the Saints will have to make up plenty of carries, as Ingram (230 attempts) carried the ball nearly twice as much as Kamara did last year. And the Saints don’t have a proven option behind them. 

For Kamara, every game in the first month of the season will have to look like his effort against Texas A&M in 2016, by far his standout game at the college level. If workload is going to be an issue for Kamara, it’s going to be apparent in Week 1.

For three years, Ereck Flowers has been a liability in pass protection for the New York Giants. If not for Ben McAdoo and Eli Manning embracing the quick passing game, Flowers would have been exposed even more.

Jenkins is going on his third year as a Jets starting pass-rusher. Frankly, that’s unacceptable. After packing picks to move up to third overall in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, New York took itself out of the top pass-rushing market in the draft. At the same time, the Colts took two pass-rushers in the second round and added McCain in free agency.

They had options. Now their only option is Jenkins putting it on himself to record a sack more than once every 200-plus snaps.

Holder worked 2 1/3 shutout innings to run his streak of not allowing an earned run to 24 1/3 innings over 21 outings.

This was the sixth career walk-off homer and fourth walk-off homer for Stanton.

The 2010 No. 1 overall pick also helped the Devils get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2011-12. When the race got tight in the second half of the season, Hall played his best. He started the 2018 calendar year by recording a point in 26 consecutive games played a run that lasted from Jan. 2 through March 8.

It’s been more about, how can we clinch a playoff spot? How can we keep climbing up the standings and chasing teams in front of us Hall late in the season. Like I’ve said before, I’m relied upon to produce offense for our team, and that’s my role. A lot to guys have roles on this team, and I’m just trying to do my best job with mine.

He entered the season with a career high of 27 goals, and Hall managed to match that number in 2018 after scoring 12 over October, November and December.

ESPN’s Mike Golic Blasts NFL For Julian Edelman’s Four-Game Suspension More Julian Edelman’s suspension isn’t sitting well with ESPN’s Mike Golic. The New England Patriots wide receiver is facing a four-game ban for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, pending an appeal.

We knew in our heads we were right, the new governor said. And we knew in our hearts that we would win. And we did.

He also thanked both Lesniak and former Gov. Chris Christie, whose administration spearheaded the case for seven years before Murphy took over in January. Christie was invited to the ceremony but did not attend.

It’s been very competitive the whole camp, Shurmur said. There’s certain things that certainly we can’t do. We got it settled down, and in this situation where scuffles break like that, we just take them out of the practice, let them cool off. … Will Hernandez is a very competitive guy and they just kind of butted heads.

Asked about Solder getting his leg tweaked, Shurmur said he hadn’t seen the whole deal and would watch the tape later, but insisted the leg of the Giants’ free-agent prize was fine.

Baseball fans in San Francisco and outside San Francisco pretty much all agree that Lincecum was a perfect fit to be a superstar in that city. So it’s strange to think that might not have ever happened had Lincecum decided to sign a professional contract with the Cubs after they drafted him out of high school. Or even if Cleveland had been able to lure him away from the University of Washington when the Indians picked him in the 2005 draft. But Lincecum didn’t sign either time, a fact Giants fans will eternally be grateful for.

But he didn’t come close to matching that production with the Redskins last season, limited to 20 catches for 240 yards and one touchdown. Pryor tore the deltoid ligament in his right ankle Week 1 and tried to play on it before opting for surgery and going on injured reserve Nov. 21. He couldn’t practice much, and it hindered his production significantly.

I just really couldn’t focus on my game, because I was too worried about my foot, he said. It kind of took control and controlled my mind.

In an effort to ensure future health, Pryor has been talking to different veterans about how they prepare for training camp. He plans to spend money over the next month on different techniques to build up the muscles around his ankle.

Terrell Suggs is 35 years old and heading into his 16th season as a pass rusher for the Ravens, but he’s not slowing down.

That’s the word from Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, who said he’s been blown away by the way Suggs looks better than ever this offseason.

Greg Rinckey, an attorney specializing in military law, said it’s rare for an officer out of West Point to receive an other-than-honorable discharge. He added that it’s also possible the military academy could seek repayment of the cost of Rapone’s education because he didn’t serve the full five-year service required upon graduation.

I knew there could be repercussions, said Rapone, who is scheduled to speak at a socialism conference in Chicago next month. Of course my military career is dead in the water. On the other hand, many people reached out and showed me support. There are a lot of veterans both active duty and not that feel like I do.

Nicolas was a sixth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2016. He appeared in 11 games with Kansas City as a rookie, then missed the 2017 season with a patellar tendon injury.

Nicolas signed with Seattle last month after being released by the Chiefs.

I could’ve settled with the Cowboys for just my back wages and unpaid wages that they owed me — they offered that, she said. But I am not willing to settle . . . My goal is to help other cheerleaders, and women as a whole.

The daughter of an electrical-engineer father and a dance-instructor mother, Wilkins wanted to be a DCC since seventh or eighth grade. My mom ran a dance studio, and she had a couple of students that went on to become Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

At a dance competition when she was 16, Wilkins was approached by a DCC scout.

Senior vice president of player personnel Chris Mara — brother of co-owner John Mara — told Mad Dog Sports Radio that  Gettleman’s voice will be heard loud and clear on major issues, such as Odell Beckham’s contract negotiations.

Beckham plans to attend Giants training camp as of now. But if the Giants do not scrap the one-year, $8.45 million deal for Beckham and replace it with a long-term extension as the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL by the start of training camp, there is a possibility of a holdout.

Stewart is a 10-year veteran and Pro Bowler who has seen up-close all of the league’s top players in that era. He was teammates with Smith, who ranks No. 12 in NFL history in receptions, for six seasons.

So how does Beckham compare?

Obviously one of the most freakishly talented athletic people I’ve ever seen touch a football. The routes he is running are very amazing, Stewart said. Steve Smith is one of those guys that come to mind as far as a guy who is a savage on the field. Odell definitely has that.

For years Luck has been a salmon swimming upstream in the Colts’ building, playing for a head coach who constantly referred to him as the quarterback – it always jarred me that in Pagano’s mind, Adam Vinatieri was Vinny, Darius Butler was D-Buts, and Andrew Luck was the quarterback – and playing for offensive coordinators and QB coaches who were hired because they were someone’s buddy (Pep Hamilton and Rob Chudzinski), or someone’s son (Brian Schottenheimer). Meatheads, all of them.

Now Luck is playing for a cutting-edge offensive coach, Reich, who last worked for Super Bowl-winning Doug Pederson of the Philadelphia Eagles, and with an even more innovative offensive coordinator in 36-year-old Nick Sirianni, who’s just out there as far as the way he sees and talks the game. And out there is right where the Colts need to be, to get the most out of a quarterback whose talent is superior but whose game was stagnating even before all those meatheads put him through a grinder that ultimately cost Luck the 2017 season.

The 67-year-old longtime Giants executive was in the thoughts of several players who spoke Wednesday night at the David Tyree Charity Bowl to benefit Children of the City, a Brooklyn-based organization dedicated to bettering the lives of impoverished children.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him, quarterback Davis Webb said. He is one of the leaders of our organization. A lot of us wouldn’t be here without him. We’re wishing him a speedy recovery. I know he’s going to beat it and can’t wait to get him back in the facility.

He is part of the reason why I’m here, why I got drafted to the New York Giants, Barkley said. It sucks to hear that for someone you care about, but at the same time you know the type of person he is and it sounds like he is in very high spirits. He knows for sure that everyone on the team has his back. We’re there for him. We’re going to continue to love him and pray for him.

Kevin Abrams, who has been a Giants’ assistant general manager for 16 years, could take on more in Gettleman’s absence. Gettleman’s right-hand man during his stint as general manager of the Panthers, Bills general manager Brandon Beane, issued his own statement of support for Gettleman.

I want to take this opportunity to explain why young Americans stand for the national anthem, Trump said. Maybe it’s about time that we understood. We stand to honor our military and to honor our country and to remember the fallen heroes who never made it back home. We stand to show our love to show our love to our fellow citizens and our magnificent constitution. Despite Trump’s insistence that everyone should stand for the national anthem at all times, there was at least one person at the White House on Tuesday who decided to kneel, as captured by a correspondent for Sweden’s SVT:

Apparently, the relationship between the Eagles and the White House started going south on Friday when the two sides began finalizing the details for Tuesday’s trip. According to multiple reports, the Eagles were planning to send fewer than 15 players to the event, which didn’t sit well with the White House.
