DALLAS | Cowboys hold team meeting on social injustice

The Cowboys held a team meeting at the end of last week revolving around the subject of social injustice in America.

"It was all about how we all have families, and how we are our own family, and how together we want to leave a legacy,'' one Cowboys player told CowboysSI.com. "Standing together, for what's right, is what we want to be remembered for.''

Among those who volunteered to give speeches were defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and linebacker Sean Lee.

The discussion lasted around 45 minutes in length and was rooted in head coach Mike McCarthy's multiple visits with smaller groups on the topic, according to Fox Sports' Laura Okmin.

PHILADELPHIA | Malik Jackson does not accept Drew Brees' apology

After New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who irked a lot of people after stating he'd never agree with anyone who disrespected the U.S. flag, he apologized for having offended those who support the Black Lives Matter movement.

However, Eagles' defensive tackle Malik Jackson, in an interview with 6ABC over the weekend, said that he doesn't accept Brees' apology.

“I think he’s only apologizing because people are coming for him, and people are disagreeing with him, and in Louisiana, there’s a lot of black people,” said Jackson. “Whatever happens to him, it must be nice to make $25 million a year and have that stance.”

NEW YORK | ESPN's Mike Clay has a grim forecast for the Giants offensive line

The Giants made a handful of additions to their offensive line this offseason to include the signing of Cam Fleming, and the drafting of Andrew Thomas in the first round, Matt Peart in the third round and Shane Lemieux in the fifth.

However, ESPN Fantasy Football forecaster Mike Clay's latest fantasy football projections has the Giants offensive line yielding as many as 44 sacks, 42 of which are forecasted to be absorbed by starting quarterback Daniel Jones.

This would hardly be an improvement over the last two seasons in which the Giants offensive lines allowed 47 and 43 sacks, respectively.
