NFC Notes: Buccaneers, Cowboys, Giants

Buccaneers

  • According to Jenna Laine, there are โ€œno specificsโ€ on second-year S Justin Evansโ€˜ injury, but the team is โ€œoptimisticโ€ 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 โ€œtryingโ€ to play in Sundayโ€™s preseason game against the Cardinals.

โ€œIโ€™m trying to get back to play in this one,โ€ said Beasley, via David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. โ€œTo at least get a few snaps in.โ€

Giants

Giants QB Eli Manning said that he isnโ€™t concerned about the team WR Odell Beckham Jr has missed, but the same canโ€™t be said for first-round RB Saquon Barkley.

โ€œNot concerned with Odell [Beckham Jr.], just because weโ€™ve got years of experience and you get a lot of reps in practice; weโ€™ve had game experience together,โ€ Manning said, via Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. โ€œNow Saquon, thatโ€™s different, just because heโ€™s a rookie and missing some valuable time. So I know heโ€™s getting mental reps. Itโ€™s different than practice reps; itโ€™s different than game reps. Hopefully he can get back soon.โ€

Itโ€™s worth mentioning that Barkley returned to practice on Wednesday.
