There’s still no guarantee Ereck Flowers is going to remain with the Giants.
But he’s at least working out with them.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN Bo Scarbrough Jersey , the former first-round pick returned to workouts with the Giants today.
Flowers was reportedly upset (and Pat Shurmur wishes players would stop talking about it) by the team acquiring left tackle Nate Solder in free agency), which required him to move to the right side and compete for a starting job. He registered that displeasure by staying away from voluntary workouts.
The Giants offered him up in trade during the draft but found no takers for a mid-round pick (for the guy once picked ninth overall). So now the challenge is to get him back aboard and ready to work.
They didn’t pick up his fifth-year option Andy Janovich Jersey , so he’s in a contract year, creating incentive for him. The Giants also have a vested interest in him returning Clayton Geathers Jersey , since there’s not another obvious starting right tackle option on the roster at the moment.
A person with direct knowledge of the decision says there will not be a disciplinary hearing for Washington Capitals winger Tom Wilson for his hit to the head of Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because the NHL does not announce when there is no hearing for a player.
Wilson struck Dumoulin in the head with his left shoulder 4:36 into the second period of Game 2 Sunday. No penalty was called. Dumoulin adjusted his positioning at the last second to brace for a hit from Alex Ovechkin, which was enough to keep Wilson from being suspended. Wilson will be available for Game 3 Tuesday at Pittsburgh.
Wilson said after the game he watched replays and didn’t know what he could have done to avoid hitting Dumoulin’s head. Dumoulin remained down on the ice for several minutes Gary Zimmerman Jersey , went down the tunnel and never returned.
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and teammates expected the league to take a look at Wilson’s hit on Dumoulin in part because of the Capitals winger’s track record. Wilson was suspended twice this season stemming from incidents in exhibition games.
