Giants OTA Friday: Red-Zone Focus and Depth-Chart Shuffle

The Giants' Friday OTA emphasized red-zone work with limited contact, featuring depth-chart moves (Thomas limited to install; Mbow at left tackle; Thibodeaux with the 2nd team; Newsome first-team CB; Colton Hood second-team; Schernecke second-team RT; Ezeudu sidelined). Jaxson Dart connected with receivers during team periods, including Theo Johnson with multiple red-zone TDs. The kicking duel between Ben Sauls and Jason Sanders remained unsettled (both 3 of 5), with wind affecting longer attempts. Arvell Reese flashed athletically but allowed a 19-yard TD to Johnson; Malachi Fields had a 7-yard TD. Overall, the session highlighted red-zone emphasis and depth competition.

ESPN gains control of NFL Network as NFL takes stake in ESPN

ESPN and the NFL have won regulatory approval for a landmark equity deal: ESPN will acquire control of NFL Network and other NFL Media assets, while the NFL earns a 10% stake in ESPN. NFL Network will be fully integrated into ESPN ahead of the next season, with ESPN subscribers gaining NFL Network access at no extra cost. The pact expands game coverage to 28 per season (21 on ESPN networks, 7 on NFL Network), eliminates Monday Night Football doubleheaders, and leaves four additional games to be sold to a streamer. The NFL will continue to operate NFL+, NFL.com, and the in-house RedZone broadcast, with ESPN owning the linear rights to RedZone. The transition begins in April, setting the stage for ESPN’s first Super Bowl broadcast in 2027.
