Story summary

The New York Giants distributed black T-shirts with the slogan "1-0" as a motivational tool for their players and staff to focus on each game individually. Head coach John Harbaugh initiated this initiative, emphasizing the importance of thinking about each upcoming match as a fresh start rather than dwelling on past performance. The shirts were first seen at Wednesday's practice and continued to be worn through Thursday by key team members including general manager Joe Schoen and defensive tackle D.J. Reader. Reader, an 11-year veteran, noted that while the T-shirts might seem corny, they serve as a daily reminder for players to concentrate on achieving a win in their current game rather than looking ahead or back. The "1-0" concept is not tied to the team's actual record and will remain constant regardless of future wins or losses.

🔮 tRY IT NOWBecause McCarthy is on the 53-man roster, the Giants could have made McCarthy inactive and still used him as the emergency third-stringer if the starter and backup (Jameis Winston and Jake Haener) are ruled out.
🔮 Thomas (groin) practiced in a limited capacity after sitting out the previous two days, while center John Michael Schmitz (personal reasons) was absent and replaced by Bryan Hudson during the media viewing period. Access the Giants like never before Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. tRY IT NOWSchmitz is expected to rejoin teammates in time for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.
🔮 Cam Skattebo isn’t out to prove that the Giants didn’t need Love in a head-to-head matchup of the running back that they are featuring and the one they likely would have drafted had he been available two picks later.
🔮 None of it has made Hood any less coachable, passionate or willing to work, in the eyes of the Giants.
🔮 Informed that as of that moment Wednesday afternoon Dart had not shared any sort of public update, Harbaugh quipped, “Maybe he just texted me that.
🔮 - CHECK OUT THE LATEST NFL STANDINGS AND GIANTS STATS Harbaugh said there are “a lot of layers” and subtleties to playing time as coaches put together game plans and call plays that he does not feel obliged to share publicly. He spoke last week about hoping the opportunities would come for Beckham against the Titans, but it didn’t work out that way and it was “nothing he did.”
🔮 Isaiah Likely wears No. 9 for the Giants, and that might be the best thing that could happen to J.J. McCarthy.
🔮 Who would’ve thought that would be the case when the season started?
🔮 Guys go down and everybody feels bad for them, but we know that they would want us to continue moving forward.”
🔮 Tennessee could’ve played for a field goal in the final seconds rather than needing a touchdown.
