EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Its only a couple of days into the New York Giants training camp and one thing is sticking out.New coach Ben McAdoo isnt going to be limited by the belief that rookies need time to adjust to the NFL before playing.Cornerback Eli Apple, receiver Sterling Shepard and safety Darian Thompson -- the teams first, second and third-round draft picks, respectively, -- were working with the first-team units Saturday as the Giants held their first outdoor practice since reporting to training camp.This isnt something that is happening because a veteran is hurt.Apple is rotating at cornerback with veterans Janoris Jenkins and Dominique-Rodgers Cromartie. There is no doubt that he will play when opponents use formations with three receivers, whether he is on the outside or in the slot.Shepard has replaced the departed Rueben Randle as the No. 2 receiver. Thompson has taken over the spot that opened when Brandon Meriweather was not re-signed.I trust them right now, McAdoo said. Were not going to be afraid to play young players.The Giants didnt start many rookies in Tom Coughlins 12 seasons; even Eli Manning had to wait half the season in 2004. Safety Landon Collins last year became the first rookie to start on defense to play all 16 games since tackle Barry Cofield in 2006.McAdoo told his rookies from the start he expected them to produce.Apple, who played at Ohio State, was the 10th pick overall. Shepard was the 40th pick overall and Thompson the 71st.We are really close, Apple said of the rookie trio. We always talk about what we can do to help this team out. We are talented and we know that, so we are just trying to push each other every day.Shepard understands that nothing will be given to him. Victor Cruz is trying to return to the starting lineup after missing most of the last two seasons with knee and calf injuries. Dwayne Harris and second-year pro Geremy Davis are looking for playing time, among others.Being drafted in the second round, youre expected to play, said Shepard, who had 233 catches for 3,482 yards and 26 touchdowns at Oklahoma. Along with the other rookies, I think we all understand that if you make plays, youre going to be out there playing on Sundays, so thats what were all striving for.Thompson came to the Giants from Boise State, where he had 19 career interceptions. Meriweather led Giants safeties with two last season.Collins definitely will start at one safety. Thompson will be challenged by a group of young players coming off injuries: Mykkele Thompson, Nat Berhe, Cooper Taylor and Bennett Jackson.The veterans have been stepping in to help the rookies. Shepard has been schooled by Cruz, Odell Beckham Jr. and Manning. Apple has been helped by Rodgers-Cromartie and Jenkins, and Collins is the leading voice among the young safeties.Apple, who has a reputation of using his hands a little too much for NFL standards, is impressed with Shepard.I see a competitor, Apple said of Shepard. He is someone who does not like to lose a rep. He does not let you get hands on him, he is quick off the line and does not like to lose. You can tell by his reaction if he does lose.Hes a great receiver and I expect big things out of him.Shepard noted the lanky Apple has a lot of range.You have to try and knock his arms down because if he gets his hands on you, its going to be difficult to deal with him, Shepard said. Hes got good feet, so you have a combination of both of those together, and you have a pretty good corner.Tight end Larry Donnell called Shepard lighting in a bottle. He said he has gone against Thompson a couple of times.Hes fast, a lot faster than me, Donnell said. I think he is going to be an awesome player.After two consecutive 6-10 seasons and four straight years out of the playoffs, its not going to be a surprise if the Giants go with the young players.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Max Outlet . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- OG Anunoby gave No. 16 Indiana a jolt of energy, and the Hoosiers got themselves back in sync.On a night when Anunoby had 19 points and nine rebounds, three of his teammates also reached double figures to help Indiana rout Delaware State 103-56 on Monday.The other day he played like it was his first game back a couple of times. Tonight, he played like hes capable of, Hoosiers coach Tom Crean said.By avoiding a second straight loss, the Hoosiers (9-2) extended their home winning streak to 25 games -- tied for the fifth-longest in school history.The Hoosiers (9-2) know how much they need Anunoby.When he was ill at IPFW, he was held scoreless in Indianas first loss of the season.A healthier Anunoby helped Indiana win its next two, including a nine-point upset of No. 3 North Carolina.But he injured his ankle late in that game, missed the next three and in his return Saturday wound up with his second-lowest point total (seven) of the season in another loss.If Anunoby stays healthy and plays with the passion and precision he did against the Hornets (3-10), the Hoosiers know they will be tough to beat.We knew it would be hard without OG, just because of everything he brings on the defensive end and the guys he can guard and because of his versatility on offense, teammate Robert Johnson said after finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists.James Blackmon Jr. had 18 points and Thomas Bryant scored 14 for Indiana.Anunoby, meanwhile, went 9 of 11 from the field, was 1 of 3 on 3-pointers, had a career-high four blocks, and added two steals and two assists.DeVaughn Mallory led Delaware State with 14 points and Kobe Gantz had 13, but the Hornets never had much of a chance. They have lost five of six.Less than 6 minutes into the game, Indiana already had a 20-10 edge. By halftime it was 54-30, and the Hoosiers extended the margin to 92-42 late in the game.We ran into one of them Hoosier buzzsaws tonight, Delaware State coach Keitth Walker said.dddddddddddd. After halftime, I promised the team they couldnt duplicate that first-half shooting percentage. They went from 71 percent and then we did cut it down. It went to 67.BIG PICTUREDelaware State: The Hornets, who won at St. Johns in November, were no match for the defending Big Ten champs. They are 0-33 against opponents from the Big Ten and a long way from being competitive with college basketballs big boys.Indiana: Showed again it can rebound in style against an inferior opponent at Assembly Hall. Perhaps the most impressive part of the night was the offense. The Big Tens top scoring team has put up 100 or more points four times this season.UPON FURTHER REVIEWPerhaps the lopsided nature of the game got the best of the referees, too. After Indiana called a 30-second timeout with 6 minutes to go and another stoppage 11 seconds later, the officials started to put the ball in play. Thats when longtime Hoosiers public address announcer Chuck Crabb alerted the officials to a miscue and stopped play by saying, Timeout. Thats a television timeout.ON THE ROADDelaware State has played a daunting schedule. Following two home games to open the season, the Hornets hit the road for eight consecutive games. They returned home Dec. 10 for one game, then embarked on a six-game road trip that began in Binghamton, New York, before going to Bloomington, Iowa City and Honolulu. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference didnt give them a break, either. Theyll open with two more road games to start league play. Their next home game is Jan. 14 against Hampton.UP NEXTDelaware State: Plays at Iowa on Thursday, the third stop on its six-game road trip.Indiana: Puts its home winning streak on the line again Thursday against Austin Peay.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
