Giants receiver Coleman tears ACL
By TOM CANAVAN
Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. — Just months after
trading Odell Beckham
Jr. to Cleveland, the New
York Giants are being hit
by a rash of injuries at wide
receiver.
Sterling Shepard, who
was to take over from Beck-
ham as the top wideout,
broke his left thumb reach-
ing to catch a pass on Thurs-
day in the fi rst practice of
training camp.
The Giants announced
Friday morning that receiver/
kickoff returner Corey Cole-
man tore an ACL, a sea-
son-ending injury. They said
the injury also happened in
practice Thursday.
Rookie Darius Slayton,
the fi fth-round draft pick
from Auburn, missed his

second straight practice with
a hamstring injury, while
veteran Brittan Golden sus-
tained a groin injury late in
Friday’s workout.
General manager Dave
Gettleman said the team
would hold a tryout Saturday.
Coach Pat Shurmur
expects Shepard and Slay-
ton not to be sidelined long.
Shepard’s status is week to
week.
“The problem is it really
affects the way practice
operates,” Gettleman said.
“It affects the way Pat writes
the script, Pat and Mike
Shula write the offensive
script and everything, so it
hurts.”
The injury to Coleman is
a little shocking because he
fi nished practice on Thurs-
day and looked good run-
ning deep routes.
“It feels like there is a
dark cloud over our room
right now,” Slayton said.
“Sterling’s injury wasn’t
major, mine wasn’t major.
Really the only major one
suffered was Corey. Obvi-
ously, Sterling, he is going
to try his best to get back as
quickly as possible and I’m
going to try to do the same.
At the same time, we are
rooting for Corey and his
recovery.”
Linebacker
Markus
Golden was carted off the
fi eld late with cramps.
Chargers’ Russell Okung out due to blood clots
By JOE REEDY
Associated Press
COSTA MESA, Calif. —
Russell Okung was with his
Los Angeles Chargers team-
mates for the start of training
camp Thursday but he will
be sidelined indefi nitely.
The veteran left tackle
revealed via Twitter that he
is being treated for blood
clots. He said in a statement
that the condition was dis-
covered after he suffered
a pulmonary embolism
during a June 1 offseason
practice at the team facility.
“After
experiencing
unusual chest pain at prac-
tice, on June 1st I went to
urgent care out of an abun-
dance of caution,” he said.
“According to the doctors
who treated me, the deci-
sion to do so likely saved my
life.”
Okung said since the con-
dition was detected early,
it is treatable. He is attend-
ing meetings and receiving
treatment after missing last
month’s minicamp.
The Chargers placed
Okung on the active/
non-football list Wednes-

camp because of blood clots.
day, meaning he still counts
against the 90-man roster
limit.
“While near death type
experiences are certainly
a wakeup call, I’m feeling
great physically. It’s not an
ankle or shoulder,” Okung
tweeted. “As soon as doctors
clear me, my plans include
blocking #17’s blind side
(Philip Rivers) all the way
to Miami.”
Rivers echoed Okung in
saying that injuries such as
this are more of a wake-up
call.
“This is one of those
silent and deadly deals,” he
said. “Thankfully, he is get-
ting the treatment and he
caught it soon enough. He’s
here in meetings and in his
jersey. When he’s healthy
we’ll get him back there.”
While Okung is out, Sam
Tevi and Trent Scott will
see time at left tackle. Tevi
started 17 games last sea-
son and moved to left tackle
when Okung missed the
Oct. 7 game against Oak-
land due to a groin injury.
Scott started one game at
right tackle.
The Chargers held their
fi rst practice without run-
ning back Melvin Gordon,
who is holding out in hopes
of getting a new contract.
Rivers said coach Anthony
Lynn did not bring up Gor-
don’s holdout when he
talked to the team Wednes-
day night.
Austin Ekeler, Justin
Jackson and Detrez New-
some all got time with the
fi rst team during Thursday’s
two-hour practice.
Lynn said the holdout
will not be a distraction for
a team that many are favor-
ing to reach the Super Bowl
after going 12-4 and reach-
ing the AFC divisional
round last season.
“We don’t like to talk
about players that aren’t
here,” Lynn said. “We
understand his situation. We
love him but he’s not here.”

The Derek Jeter Field at Kalamazoo Central High School in
Kalamazoo, Mich. A charitable organization founded by
the former New York Yankees shortstop is donating about
$3.2 million to renovate a baseball and softball complex
at his Michigan high school.
Jeter’s foundation donates $3.2M
for Michigan high school ballfi elds
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — A charitable organi-
zation founded by former New York Yankees shortstop
Derek Jeter is donating about $3.2 million to renovate
a baseball and softball complex at his Michigan high
school.
The Kalamazoo Public Schools district announced
the donation Thursday from the Turn 2 Foundation.
Planned work includes new fi elds, seating and dugouts
as well as synthetic turf. The Kalamazoo Gazette reports
school offi cials say the project is scheduled to be com-
pleted in 2021.
Jeter, who is the Miami Marlins CEO, says in a state-
ment that he hopes the project “will inspire local youth to
work hard to achieve their full potential and accomplish
their goals.”
Jeter graduated from Kalamazoo Central High School
in 1992 and the baseball fi eld at the complex was named
Derek Jeter Field in his honor in 2012.
UConn will pay $17M exit fee
to leave the AAC early for Big East
STORRS, Conn. (AP) — The University of Connecti-
cut has agreed to pay a $17 million exit fee to the Ameri-
can Athletic Conference, so the school can rejoin the Big
East next year.
AAC bylaws stipulate any school seeking to leave the
conference must give 27 months’ notice and pay a $12
million fee, but the sides negotiated the higher fee for
UConn to leave sooner.
UConn Athletic Director David Benedict in a state-
ment Friday thanked AAC Mike Aresco and his staff for
their professionalism during the transition process.
Aresco praised Benedict for helping the sides reach a
“swift and amicable resolution.”
The Huskies will join the Big East in all sports except
football, men’s and women’s ice hockey and rowing.
UConn also announced Friday its football program
will become an independent in the Football Bowl Sub-
division in 2020.
