Giants Roll Past Dolphins in Preseason, Elevating Depth Players and Raising Roster Questions

The Giants defeated the Dolphins 26-3 in Week 2 of the preseason as backups stepped up with starters rested. Jameis Winston went 15-for-21 for 150 yards and added an 11-yard rushing TD. Darius Slayton led receivers with 58 yards, and Calvin Austin III contributed on offense and return duties. Rookie JC Davis locked in at left tackle, while Greg Newsome II and Paulson Adebo anchored the secondary. Dru Phillips forced two fumbles, sparking the defense, but Tyrone Tracy Jr. fumbled and Odell Beckham Jr. dropped a sure TD pass, and Darius Alexander was quiet against the run, leaving some roster-competition questions heading into the final preseason game.

Giants Ride Depth to 26-3 Preseason Win Over Dolphins

Giants cruised to a 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins, led by Darius Slayton’s 4 catches for 58 yards and backup QB Jameis Winston’s efficient 15-of-21 for 150 yards with an 11-yard rushing TD, plus strong depth performances from Deonte Banks and other role players like J.C. Davis at left tackle, Dalen Cambre, and Calvin Austin. Tyrone Tracy had a costly fumble and Darius Alexander struggled, underscoring ongoing roster decisions as the club evaluates 53-man spots.

Giants-Dolphins Preseason Spotlight: Five Battles That Could Shape the Roster

Previewing Saturday’s Giants-Dolphins preseason game, with stars expected to rest and the focus on five roster battles: which backups earn snaps, whether Najee Harris gets a few carries, and the evolving backup offensive-line picture (Ezeudu, Mauigoa, Patrick, and Kubas vying for spots); Evan Neal handling extended reps if others sit; rookie J.C. Davis climbing the depth chart at tackle; unsettled cornerback spots among Adebo, Banks, Newsom, Green and Black; and the QB3 race between Jake Haener and Brandon Allen for a potential practice-squad role.

Hayden Panettiere's Final PETA Campaign Highlights a Lifetime of Animal Advocacy

Hayden Panettiere's last PETA campaign was filmed in Los Angeles weeks before her death at 36, featuring her in a bathtub protest against marine parks as a capstone to a lifelong animal-welfare career that included protests against dolphin hunts in Taiji and activism with the Whaleman Foundation; authorities say autopsy found no trauma and the cause of death remains under investigation, with the DEA assisting.

Dolphins-Giants joint practice pops with clashes and standout QB reps

Dolphins-Giants joint practice in Miami Gardens featured a shorthanded Dolphins squad with several injuries, heavy 11-on-11 and 1-on-1 work, and multiple scuffles but no Dolphins ejections. Malik Willis and Giants rookie Cam Miller impressed at quarterback as the Giants’ pass rush, led by Chauncey Golson, pressured the Dolphins and Jevon Holland contributed a blitz sack; the Dolphins struggled with pass protection but ran the ball better overall. Ronnie Harrison returned to practice and Malik Nabors sat out, while the session ended with a late Giants field goal after a sequence of plays.

Rare dolphin shelling captured in Australia suggests mother-to-calf teaching

Researchers documented an extremely rare ‘shelling’ behavior in bottlenose dolphins off Queensland, Australia, where shells are used as tools to trap fish. The observation included both an adult female and her calf, suggesting the calf learned the behavior from its mother and providing potential evidence of maternal social transmission. The finding also underscores the importance of traditional wildlife photography for documenting new scientific insights.

Hayden Panettiere’s Final Act: a PETA Bath Ad Weeks Before Death

Hayden Panettiere filmed a PETA anti-marine-captivity campaign just weeks before her death, appearing in a bathtub to argue against keeping dolphins and whales in extreme captivity. PETA confirmed the July 22 shoot and highlighted her long history of animal-rights advocacy. The article notes her death at 36 from an apparent overdose, with autopsy finding no signs of trauma and Narcan reportedly present at the scene.

Mother–calf dolphins reveal rare shell-hunt behavior on Australia’s east coast

Researchers photographed bottlenose dolphins off Queensland’s Great Sandy Marine Park using shells as tools to trap fish, including an adult female and its calf. The footage, captured between July and October 2025, appears to be the first official recording on Australia’s east coast and suggests maternal social transmission of this tool-use behavior rather than learning from peers.

Across Australia, Dolphins Independently Invent Shell-Driven Fishing

Two bottlenose dolphin populations—Shark Bay in the west and Great Sandy Marine Park in the east—have independently learned to shell fish by using empty sea-snail shells as traps, lifting them to drain prey. Queensland observations (2025) include a mother-calf sequence that may show vertical social learning, while earlier Shark Bay work documented rapid, socially mediated spread among associates. The geographic gap implies convergent invention rather than copying; more data are needed to confirm transmission routes and first-inventor moments.

AI Consensus, Martian Gem, and Biodiversity's Diet Challenge

This week’s science roundup highlights: AI agents spontaneously reach a consensus in a controlled experiment, Perseverance reveals corundum gemstones on Mars, dolphins in Australia’s waters demonstrate shell-assisted hunting, a PNAS study links vegetable biodiversity to healthier diets as varieties decline, and early human data suggest fecal microbiota transplants could help treat peanut allergies; plus drought-driven heat threatens Pinot Noir and other wine regions.
