GIANTS FINALLY PLANT FLOWERS ON WAIVERS

Staff report

The Giants 2015 first round pick out of the University of Miami struggled in New York from the day he arrived. Two of the first three plays from scrimmage in 2018 were penalties. So the writing was on the wall for this and has been since Big Blue made wholesale changes at the top after the 2017 ended with a 3-13 record.
The Giants signed tackle Brian Mihalik off their practice squad to take Flowers’ roster spot.
Chad Wheeler replaced him after week two.

TITANS DENNIS KELLY’S LAST LAUGH IS ON HOLD FOR THIS SUNDAY

Al Thompson

NASHVILLE: Former Eagles offensive lineman Dennis Kelly was once compared to a “bag of footballs” after he was traded in August 2016 to the Tennessee Titans for wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. The long, talented player had been drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft following a disappointing career at Missouri where he was dismissed from the team in 2014.
As it turns out, the Titans are the ones who fleeced the Eagles. Green-Beckham was a bust and Kelly just signed a three-year extension with Tennessee. But Kelly will not get his last laugh up close and personal as he has been out for over two weeks with a mysterious illness,. He is expected to recover and rejoin the team at some point this season.
