EAST RUTHERFORD, N. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Nikola-Kalinic-Jersey/ .J. -- For a couple of minutes, it seemed the injury bug had gotten the New York Giants again.Three days into training camp, leading receiver and offensive catalyst Odell Beckham Jr. sat in the end zone surrounded by team doctors and trainers.All eyes and hands were focused on his left ankle and foot that had been stepped on by cornerback Janoris Jenkins on a pass play.The only real noise seemed to be the photographers clicking one picture after another, and reporters tapping on their cell phones sending out tweets, wondering the severity of the injury.Beckham would eventually limp to the sideline and then leave the indoor practice field a couple of minutes later on a cart to have the foot examined.It was hold your breath time for Giants fans, who have seen their team miss the playoffs the past four seasons. It was also hold your breath time for Beckham.I dont think in the moment, at that exact time, I can understand what is going on all around me, Beckham said. You are checking internally. `Am I OK? OK. Is it that hurt? All right. Im making sure everything is good. Its not so much I can hear or feel the silence, but I know I would never want to worry my teammates if I dont have to.The worries ended about half an hour later when new coach Ben McAdoo said Beckham was cleated as he and Jenkins landed after jumping to catch a long pass downfield.Beckham had a couple of cuts on his foot, but seemingly nothing more. His injury did not require stitches. His foot was taped before he left the locker room to talk to reporters.The Giants have off Monday. It is uncertain whether Beckham will practice Tuesday, the first day they wear pads.Beckham, who was limping when he arrived to talk to reporters, downplayed all the attention. He seemed more concerned there was blood on his custom-made cleats.Its football, we go down, he said. Ive been worse.Injuries, both on and off the field, have hurt the Giants in recent years, leading to consecutive 6-10 records.Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul missed the first half of last season after a fireworks accident. Receiver Victor Cruz, offensive linemen Will Beatty and Geoff Schwartz, cornerback Prince Amukamara, middle linebacker Jon Beason and defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins were all hurt in recent seasons.With the roster changes the Giants made in the offseason, Beckham feels the Giants can compete for a playoff spot.I care about winning, period, said Beckham, who had caught a long pass early in the practice. I hate losing. It doesnt matter what we are playing: marbles, spades, video games. I dont like losing.Beckham said he senses that Eli Manning wants another Super Bowl title, just to go one up on his brother. The third-year receiver, who has caught 187 passes for 2,755 yards and 25 touchdowns in his first two seasons, also got a little motivation working out last week with one of his idols -- LeBron James. Beckham said it was great to see how hard he works, even after winning NBA titles.I have never been able to call myself a champion, Beckham said. There has got to be no better feeling than seeing the confetti fall after all the hard work since July 28th, that you put in and before that leading up to it.General manager Jerry Reese, who re-signed Pierre-Paul and got defensive end Olivier Vernon, defensive tackle Damon Harrison, Jenkins and linebacker Keenan Robinson to sign with the Giants as free agents, says he is optimistic about this season.The atmosphere is great here, we have a lot of positive energy, Reese said. We have a lot of competition at different position, and I feel that makes your football better.Game notes McAdoo said he cut down on Cruzs workload, but that was planned since he has only played in six games over the past two seasons. ... Two of the teams practices have been held indoors because of rain.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL href="http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Vitolo-Jersey/" target="_blank">http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Vitolo-Jersey/ ;. Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Gelson-Martins-Jersey/ ;. The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times. "The result looked easier than it really was," Ivanovic said. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Diego-Costa-Jersey/ ;. PETERSBURG, Fla.In his first column for Sky Sports, Englands Jonny Bairstow talks Headingley, Sri Lanka, batting with Joe Root and his 1990s hero… Hi Jonny. How excited are you to be gearing up for just your second Test match at Headingley?Coming back home is obviously very special as Headingley has a big place in my heart, as it does for every Yorkshireman. The fact there has been a little lay-off - my only other Test at the ground came three years ago against New Zealand - makes it even more exciting, so hopefully the weather holds!I scored 64 in that game versus New Zealand, while Joe Root and Alastair Cook got hundreds as we won by 247 runs, but what I remember most is how electric the crowd was and Im expecting something similar this week.Ive hit the ground running this season, particularly at Headingley, scoring 246 against Hampshire and 198 against Surrey, but the Test pitch will be different to the county ones.Everyone wants to be there at the Test for high-scoring days but also some entertainment with the ball, so Im sure we will get both.How was your winter and what did you make of Englands World T20 campaign?I had a bit of time off and away from cricket to recharge my batteries, which is really important, but watching the England lads in the World T20 was fantastic.I dont think most people expected us to go that far but to reach the final playing the way we did was an exceptional effort. England reached the final of the World T20 in India Its got me itching to get that England jersey back on - not that you need any extra motivation to get up for the first Test of the summer on your home ground!I was pleased with the way I contributed in the series win over South Africa, in which I scored my maiden Test hundred, even though I still have things to work on and develop. It was a great way to finish the year and I am looking to keep on progressing.If you beat Sri Lanka and Pakistan, you will achieve something pretty special…If we win we will hold all nine of the Test series trophies - something I was made aware of moments before doing this column! Its not something we have spoken about in the dressing room, as our focus is purely on winning matches. Englands Test series win over South Africa means they hold seven of nine possible trophies Sri Lanka beat us here two years ago, while we know the quality Pakistan bring, so its going to be a tough summer of cricket ahead. People have made us favourites to defeat Sri Lanka but we know the threats that they pose, so we wont be taking anything for granted.Mahela Jayawardene will be with Sky Sports for the series and Im sure he and Kumar Sangakkara, who is playing for Surrey, will be passing down fonts of knowledge to the Sri Lankan players, so we know we are in for a real battle.Joe Root has been in outstanding form recently - did you always expect him to hit these heights? Joe Root has scored nine centuries in his 39 Tests to date Joe was only small when he was young so everyone was hoping he grew for a start! Seriously, though, we always knew he was a real talent.He has been fantastic over recent years - you only have to look at the stats and the way he has gone about his business - and hopefully he and I can spend a lot of time in the middle together, not only this summer but for many years to come. Root lands ECB awards hat-trick Joe Root swept the board at the England Team Awards and there was recognition for David Lloyd Having batted with him since we were about 12, out partnership is a pretty natural one now, its not something we have to think about or plan too much. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Juanfran-Jersey/. We know how the other one operates, how they run and the abilities they possess, so its great to be in the middle at the same time.Hes also not bad with the ball as he showed when he bowled out Stokesy [Ben Stokes] in Carnaby Street recently! Joe Root bowled out Ben Stokes during an impromptu game of cricket in Carnaby Street Finally, Sky Sports England in the 90s documentary has just been released. Who was your cricketing hero during that decade?Definitely Alec Stewart. The amount of games he played was sensational and to play for the length of time he did and achieve what he did made me really look up to him. If I have a career like his it wont be too shabby, and to try and emulate someone like him would be very special.It always looked like the guys in the England team in the 1990s had fun and that is something we are trying to foster, too. You have enough tough times in the game and in life so you have to enjoy the good times as a group. Teams dont function as well if you dont have that rapport.
