New York Jets SS Antonio Allen is in the lead for a starting safety job, according to head coach Rex Ryan. “It’s good competition, because SS Jaiquawn Jarrett is behind him. That’s going to be real fun to watch because both guys [are] physical players. I love Allen’s length and he’s been impressive at times. He’s not there yet, but some of the things he’s done, he made a couple real nice plays the other day.

New York Giants WR Kris Adams (hand) is dealing with a hand issue that saw a finger pop out, but Adams was able to pop them right back in. ‘Yeah, his finger popped out on him but he popped it right back in,’ head coach Tom Coughlin said. ‘He’s fine.’
Footballguys View: Adams played with the Colts in 2012 but finished the season with only two catches in three games. He was undrafted in 2011 and the Giants are the fifth team he’s been on during his pro career. He needs to stay healthy if he wants to impress in camp and make the roster.
