1. McClain manned the middle.
Starting middle linebacker Jon Beason is week-to-week after he sprained his knee on a play in the end zone during Saturday’s second preseason game. In his place, Jameel McClain manned the middle in Tuesday’s training camp practice, the final one open to the public at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. It’s a familiar role for McClain, who made 11 of his 14 starts there last season as Beason dealt with injuries.
“We do have the benefit of a guy that’s played a lot of football and is very good in the huddle—does all those things extremely well,” coach Tom Coughlin said of McClain, who led the Giants in tackles in 2014.
