There was also a practice today.

In what was a newsy day both in East Rutherford and around the NFL, the Giants opened the week with their first of four consecutive days of OTAs at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.

Players will be off Friday and then return next week for a three-day minicamp, which will wrap up the offseason. The next time the team will be on the field together will be in West Virginia in late July.

Here is what you need to know from OTA No. 7.

Football is Art's

Art Green and Nic Jones, two cornerbacks who each played double-digit games for the Giants last season, teamed up for the first of two interceptions on the day. Green took advantage of a pressure by Jones (who may have had a sack in a live setting) and intercepted a pass in the first 11-on-11 portion of practice.

Not in his neighborhood

Rookie cornerback Colton Hood has now made a nice play in back-to-back practices. On Friday, he broke up a pass during a red-zone drill. On Monday, he snagged an interception with his momentum going the other way for what would have been a pick-six.

The second-round pick made a similar play during rookie minicamp, but this time it was with veterans in the mix.

"I think a lot of DBs panic just because they're not great at tracking the ball," Hood said recently about his ball skills. "I played baseball, played center field, so tracking a football is 10,000 times easier than tracking a baseball. I wouldn't say it's easy, but it's something that I've been doing my whole life. So, it comes natural to me."

Best of the rest

Jaxson Dart opened practice with a scramble to buy time and find Isaiah Likely. Fellow tight end Theo Johnson followed it with a long catch-and-run.

There was a sequence when the defense batted down a pass one after the other, and they came from two very different players. The first was 5-foot-11, 180-pound cornerback Dru Phillips. The second was 6-foot-3, 328-pound defensive lineman Bobby Jamison-Travis, a rookie sixth-round pick from Auburn.

Dart and rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields connected a few times for big gains, including a nice play on the sideline.

Outside linebacker Brian Burns had what would have been a sack.

Cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse broke up a pass in the end zone late in practice.
