EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Nat Berhe is getting another chance to start with rookie safety Darian Thompson nursing a shoulder injury.Thompson, the third-round draft pick who was handed the job at the start of training camp, was hurt in the Giants preseason loss to the Bills in Buffalo on Saturday.Coach Ben McAdoo was not available to comment on the extent of the injury on Monday, but Berhe ran with the starting unit as it went over corrections from Saturdays game and began working on plans for this weekends game against the Jets.A fifth-round draft pick in 2014, Berhe was expected to push for a starting job last season after Antrel Rolle signed with the Chicago Bears as a free agent.However, he injured a calf in the spring and never made it back to the field. He was placed on injured reserve.Its day to day, Berhe said of playing with the first team now. We all know this league is day to day, playing strong safety or free safety.

I work for the Giants. Whatever they want to do I am with it.Berhe said his goal in training camp has been to be relentless in running down the ball and showing up on the clips when the tackle is made.His 35 snaps on Saturday were the second most on the defense. He finished with two tackles. He also played five snaps on special teams.Berhe said missing last season helped to him grow as a person. He also has learned to listen to his body and ease up when it is hurting.I have grown as a realist, but I am still striving to be better and learn as much as I can, the 25-year-old San Diego State product said.

To keep their recent surge going strong the Sun will have to bring their best game with them on Sunday when they travel to Atlanta to square off against the Dream at Philips Arena.Connecticut (9-16) is rising thanks to a three-game win streak and a surge that has seen the Sun garner victories in six of their past nine contests. Their win against Minnesota featured six double-figure scorers (Alyssa Thomas paced the attack with 15 points) and was Connecticuts second against the Lynx (who have lost just five games) this season.All that is grand but the Sun is still on the outside of the WNBAs new playoff structure, in which the top eight teams regardless of conference earn spots in the postseason.

At the time of her injury, Lyttle led the league in steals at 2.2 per game and was fifth in rebounds at 8.5 per game. ' ' '
