Giants injury update: D.J. Davidson activated from PUP

The New York Giants have activated DT D.J. Davidson from PUP and offered updates on several other injured players, including Collin Johnson.

Prior to practice on Monday, New York Giants defensive lineman D.J. Davidson passed his physical and was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Davidson joins a suddenly deep group of interior defensive linemen, including rookie Jordon Riley, who played well in his NFL preseason debut.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and cornerback Aaron Robinson (knee) remain on PUP with no timetable for return, although general manager Joe Schoen previously implied that Robinson could be activated this week.

The news on wide receiver Collin Johnson, who suffered a knee injury against the Detroit Lions, was also somewhat positive. His issue does not appear to be long-term.

“I don’t think it’s long-term, but I’m not a doctor, either,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters.

Johnson will not practice on Monday but right tackle Evan Neal (concussion) will take a step forward. He will participate in the non-contact portion of practice as he works his way back. However, Neal remains in concussion protocol.

Meanwhile, offensive linemen Devery Hamilton (leg) and Tyre Phillips (unknown), running back Gary Brightwell (ankle), linebacker Cam Crown (unknown), defensive lineman Ryder Anderson (triceps), and defensive back Nick McCloud (stomach) will not practice.

Finally, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (abdominal) will practice after leaving Friday night’s preseason game against the Lions early. Nose tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (groin) will also practice.

9 Giants players who need a strong training camp

These nine New York Giants players need to shine during training camp or risk being buried on the depth chart or worse.

The New York Giants will soon return to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey for their 2023 training camp.

For many players, the impression made on coaches and front-office executives over the summer will determine their future with the organization. Even some of the established veterans and recent signees will have something to prove as they convene to lay the foundation for the second season under general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.

Some will look to prove they’ve made progress since they joined the team. Others will look to prove they’re better than the rookies brought in at their respective positions. Training camp will ultimately paint a clear picture of the best players.

Here are nine Giants players who need to have a strong training camp for one reason or another.

4 Giants players who could lose their job to rookies in 2023

There are four veteran players on the New York Giants’ roster who could lose their jobs to rookies in 2023.

The New York Giants are a young team that is just getting younger. They do have some veterans they still rely on to get the job done but it’s only a matter of time before those vets are moved out in favor of some younger players.

Here are four veterans (or non-rookies) who could be challenged this season by rookies on the depth chart.

3 Giants could start training camp on PUP list

Three New York Giants could begin training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

The official start of training camp is still several months away but speculation over who will be available for the New York Giants has already begun.

Dan Duggan of The Athletic suggests that three players — wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Wan’Dale Robinson, and cornerback Aaron Robinson — will all start camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Shepard suffered a torn ACL in a Week 3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last season. He underwent surgery about a month later and of the three, is likely the closest to returning.

Aaron Robinson suffered a partially torn ACL and MCL in a Week 4 victory over the Chicago Bears and underwent surgery in November. At the time, he was given a nine-month window for recovery which puts his expected date of return sometime in August.

Finally, Wan’Dale Robinson also suffered a torn ACL with his coming in a Week 11 loss to the Detroit Lions. He underwent surgery in early December and while he’ll likely miss much of camp, he expects to be ready by Week 1 of the regular season.

All three could potentially be available to start the season but Wan’Dale, despite his confidence, seems like a long shot.

5 moves Giants need to make to get back to the playoffs

If the New York Giants want to return to the playoffs in 2023, here are five things they’re going to need to settle this offseason.

The New York Giants made significant strides in 2022 under first-year general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, logging a winning record for the first time in six years and winning their first postseason game since Super Bowl XLVI in 2012.

They face a crucial offseason if they plan to continue their climb in the NFC hierarchy, however. Much still needs to be done for them to sustain success and remain contenders for years to come.

Here are five things that they can do in the next few months that can help them get back to the playoffs in 2023.

5 players who could have bigger roles for Giants in 2023

These five New York Giants (who are still under contract) are likely to see a larger role during the 2023 regular season.

The New York Giants got many key contributions from first-year players in 2022 which helped them become a playoff team for the first time since 2016.

But some of the players they brought in didn’t — or couldn’t — help them due to injury or lost snaps in a numbers game.

Next season, we see many of those players stepping back up and contributing. Here are five names to watch in 2023.

19 players Giants have drafted from Senior Bowl over last 6 years

Since 2017, the New York Giants have drafted 19 players who had practiced during Senior Bowl week or played in the Senior Bowl itself.

The NFL draft run-up begins this week with the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. The New York Giants have always had a presence at the game and have drafted many a player who has participated in the game over the years.

Here are some players the Giants met and scouted at the game and then drafted going back to 2017.

Giants’ 5 biggest needs this offseason

The New York Giants are on the right track but there’s still work to be done, including these 5 issues that must be addressed this offseason.

The New York Giants just completed their best season in six years, posting a 10-8-1 overall record, qualifying for the postseason, and winning their first playoff game since Super Bowl XLVI over a decade ago.

That doesn’t mean the turnaround is complete. There is still much work to be done.

Here are the five most pressing needs the Giants need to address this offseason.

Giants’ 7 most disappointing players of 2022

The New York Giants provided many reasons for optimism in 2022 but these seven players most certainly disappointed.

The New York Giants had a banner season under the first-year combo of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, going 10-8-1 overall and qualifying for the postseason for the first time since 2016.

That was satisfying for many Giant fans but the season wasn’t without its disappointments. Here are seven disappointing players from the 2022 season.

Report: Giants’ Aaron Robinson has partially torn ACL, MCL

New York Giants CB Aaron Robinson underwent surgery to repair a partially torn ACL and partially torn MCL in November and is out 9 months.

New York Giants cornerback Aaron Robinson returned in Week 4 after missing several games due to an emergency appendectomy. However, he managed to play just 12 defensive snaps before he again found himself on the sideline.

The 2021 third-round pick had suffered a knee injury against the Chicago Bears and eventually landed on injured reserve.

The severity of Robinson’s injury was initially unclear, but head coach Brian Daboll revealed it was severe enough that his season was likely over.

“Doubtful,” Daboll said when asked if Robinson would make it back this year.

More than a month later, we now know why.

Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Robinson suffered both a partially torn ACL and a partially torn MCL. He underwent surgery in November and won’t be cleared for football activities until next August at the earliest.

That puts Robinson on track to return for the 2023 regular season but he is very much behind the eightball. He missed eight games during his rookie season due to various injuries and will have appeared in just two games this season.

In the 11 career games Robinson has played, he’s recorded 32 tackles (21 solo), one QB hit, and four passes defensed.
