Giants’ Evan Engram is working outside the box to fix drops

Highlights from the Giants practice on Saturday:

Something Good

Corey Ballentine continues to be a bright spot in camp. The rookie cornerback had another strong practice Saturday, with an interception and two pass breakups. He picked off Daniel Jones (again) on a fade in the end zone, leaping up and grabbing the ball away from 6-foot-4 receiver Alonzo Russell. His teammates went crazy for every big play he made.

One Bad Thing

Bennie Fowler has an opportunity to step into a more regular role at wide receiver and has gotten involved plenty. But he had a hiccup during a red-zone drill when he dropped what should have been a touchdown on a pass from Eli Manning. He knew it, too, slapping the ground in frustration.

Caught My Eye

During a special teams period, when some regulars get to rest, Evan Engram was off to the side catching tennis balls from two coaches at the same time. The tight end has struggled with drops in the past, but it is not for a lack of effort.

Keeping Up With The Jones

Jones may want a few passes back — especially the one on which he had Russell wide open deep and just overthrew him. He also threw his second interception of camp, though it was a terrific play by Ballentine. The rookie finished 6-for-14.

Medical Report

There appeared to be some progress from the walking wounded. CB Sam Beal (hamstring), OT Chad Wheeler, DL Alex Jenkins and LB Avery Moss did not practice while WR Darius Slayton (hamstring), WR Brittan Golden (groin) and CB Grant Haley (shoulder) improved to running on the side with trainers. LB Markus Golden (load management), LB Oshane Ximines (sore legs) and CB Henre’ Toliver (ankle) rejoined individual drills.
