NFC Notes: Buccaneers, Cowboys, Giants

Buccaneers

  • According to Jenna Laine, there are “no specifics” on second-year S Justin Evans‘ injury, but the team is “optimistic” that it is not serious or long-term.
  • Buccaneers placed TE Colin Jeter on injured reserve after clearing waivers.

Cowboys

Cowboys WR Cole Beasley (groin) has returned to practice this week and said he is “trying” to play in Sunday’s preseason game against the Cardinals.

I’m trying to get back to play in this one,” said Beasley, via David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. “To at least get a few snaps in.”

Giants

Giants QB Eli Manning said that he isn’t concerned about the team WR Odell Beckham Jr has missed, but the same can’t be said for first-round RB Saquon Barkley.

Not concerned with Odell [Beckham Jr.], just because we’ve got years of experience and you get a lot of reps in practice; we’ve had game experience together,” Manning said, via Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. “Now Saquon, that’s different, just because he’s a rookie and missing some valuable time. So I know he’s getting mental reps. It’s different than practice reps; it’s different than game reps. Hopefully he can get back soon.”

It’s worth mentioning that Barkley returned to practice on Wednesday.
