What happened

In the 118 days since he was introduced as Giants head coach, John Harbaugh has done pretty much everything besides lead the 11-man offense against the 11-man defense.

Why it matters

That milestone finally can be reached Tuesday, when OTAs begin.

Common ground

Media will have eyes on a Harbaugh-led practice with the veterans for the first time on Thursday.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.

Claim 4: “OTAs begin Tuesday”

Sources contradict the start date. One source states OTAs began on Monday, while another says 20 NFL clubs open OTAs on Tuesday. Because there is conflicting information regarding whether they began Monday or Tuesday, the claim is disputed.
