What happened

Observations from Giants training camp on Tuesday.

Why it matters

John Harbaugh called it part of the day-to-day rotation, but a conspiracy theorist might suggest the staff wants a better evaluation of Beckham, who has been creating separation without drawing targets with the second-team offense.

Common ground

He had what might have been a touchdown, but it was bang-bang out of bounds.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
