Giants

Jets

• HC Rex Ryan confirmed that they will use a committee approach at running back this season.

“I definitely think it’s going to be the committee approach,” coach Rex Ryan said Tuesday, via Rich Cimini of ESPN. “When you have Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson and Bilal Powell, I would think that’s a pretty safe bet.“

Texans

• HC Bill O’Brien mentioned that Case Keenum is “slightly ahead” of rookie Tom Savage for the backup quarterback job. (Tania Ganguli)

“Right now I’d still say Case is a little bit ahead of Tom,” O’Brien said. “I’d say Tom’s improving. I think Tom’s definitely improving. It’s a battle, it’s definitely a competitive battle, but Case is still slightly ahead of Tom.“
