Staff report

Giants receiver Brandon Marshall talks about his health and the start of the season, his first with the Giants.
“Yeah. I’ll be out there. I feel good other than that hit I had in Cleveland, the body feels amazing. This is probably the only camp that I’ve had where I really didn’t have anything.
