The New York Giants dealt with a series of late-week injuries ahead of their game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which called into question the status of several players.
Unfortunately for running back Devonta Freeman (ankle), he landed on injured reserve and will miss at least three weeks. But the news wasn’t as bad for wide receiver Golden Tate (knee) or cornerback Isaac Yiadom (calf).
Although Tate and Yiadom were both listed as questionable for the Week 10 game, the Giants are reportedly optimistic that each will be able to take the field in some capacity against the Eagles.
The Giants didn’t make any transactions by today’s 4 pm deadline to do so. So LB Tae Crowder remains on IR.
There’s optimism that starting CB Isaac Yiadom will play vs. the Eagles, per source. Yiadom (calf) was added to the injury report and listed as questionable on Friday.

#Giants WR Golden Tate, questionable because he tweaked his knee late in the week, is trending in the right direction to play, source said. He responded well to the benching last week, as well.

As Dan Duggan notes, the Giants made no additional transactions by Saturday’s 4:00 p.m. ET deadline, which suggests they aren’t just optimistic that Tate and Yiadom, but certain they will.
Meanwhile, rookie linebacker Tae Crowder (hamstring) will remain on IR headed into the bye week. He is expected back for a Week 12 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
