Giants’ Nick Williams, Aaron Robinson unlikely to return this season

New York Giants DT Nick Williams is out for the remainder of the season and CB Aaron Robinson is “doubtful” to return.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Tuesday that defensive lineman Nick Williams (bicep) was not coming back this year and that it’s ‘doubtful’ that cornerback Aaron Robinson’s knee injury was likely to return as well.

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

“Yeah,” Daboll added when asked if Williams was out for the season.

Williams started seven of the Giants’ first eight games and recorded 15 total tackles with two passes defense and two QB hits.

Since being selected 71st overall in the 2021 NFL draft, Robinson has been injured more often than not. He missed the entire first half of last season on PUP with a foot injury. This season, he had his appendix removed and missed two games. Robinson injured his knee after returning and has been on IR since October 4.

The Giants have been getting by at both positions without Williams and Robinson but are thin along the line and in the secondary and can’t afford any more injuries. That is one of the many reasons why the Xavier McKinney injury is going to be so impactful.

Injury to Giants CB Aaron Robinson may be season-ending

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll leaves open the possibility that Aaron Robinson’s knee injury may be season-ending.

New York Giants cornerback Aaron Robinson has had a less than ideal start to his professional career. After missing several games due to injury during his rookie season, he returned in 2022 poised to start alongside Adoree’ Jackson.

But again, Robinson has been hamstrung by injury.

Following a Week 1 victory over the Tennessee Titans, Robinson underwent an emergency appendectomy that kept him out two weeks. He returned in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears but was quickly lost to a knee injury.

The Giants placed Robinson on injured reserve and on Thursday, head coach Brian Daboll left open the possibility that the cornerback’s season is over.

The mere fact that Daboll entertained the idea of Robinson’s season being over means two things. One, the injury is obviously serious. And two, the second-year corner is a long way off from returning if he does.

That leaves the already thin Giants even more thin at cornerback for the foreseeable future.

Giants place CB Aaron Robinson on IR

New York Giants CB Aaron Robinson (knee) will miss at least four games after being placed on injured reserve.

The New York Giants have placed cornerback Aaron Robinson on injured reserve (IR), meaning he will miss the team’s next four games at minimum.

Robinson started alongside Adoree’ Jackson in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears, but managed just 12 snaps before suffering a knee injury. That came on the heels of an emergency appendectomy that cost Robinson the previous two games.

A third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Robinson started his rookie season on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list as the result of core surgery. He was activated on November 1 and went on to play in nine games, recording 26 tackles (16 solo), one QB hit and three passes defensed.

In two games this season. Robinson has recorded six tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed.

With Robinson now on IR, the Giants will turn to Darnay Holmes, Cor’Dale Flott, Fabian Moreau, Justin Layne and Nick McCloud to help fill the void. They also have Zyon Gilbert and Olaijah Griffin on the practice squad.

Giants injury updates: Kenny Golladay, Aaron Robinson likely to miss time

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll offered updates on more than 10 injured players and indicated that WR Kenny Golladay may miss time.

The New York Giants may have defeated the Chicago Bears, 20-12, in Week 4, but it came at a cost. In excess of 10 players went down injured and the prognosis on some of them is less than desirable.

During a Monday afternoon Zoom conference with the team’s beat reporters, head coach Brian Daboll broke down each — some in more detail than others.

Here are the updates on the team’s walking wounded.

Daniel Jones, Tyrod Taylor among new wave of Giants injuries

The New York Giants saw 10 players go down with injury against the Chicago Bears, including QBs Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor.

The New York Giants may have picked up a victory against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but they saw a new wave of injuries decimate their roster.

Among those injured were quarterbacks Daniel Jones, who suffered a sprained ankle, and Tyrod Taylor, who exited with a concussion.

After Taylor was knocked out of the game, the Giants were in such dire need at quarterback that Saquon Barkley briefly took over before Jones was forced back in under center.

“(Jones) wanted to go in,” head coach Brian Daboll said after the game. “I said, ‘You’re not going into the game. I see you’re limping. I’m not risking you getting injured to try to protect yourself with that limp. But if we need you, can you go back in the game?’ He said, ‘Yeah. I can go in the game now.’

“I said, ‘Tyrod’s going in the game, and if we need you, hopefully it’ll be just to hand the ball off.’ So, when Tyrod went down, I looked over to (quarterbacks coach) Shea (Tierney) and said, ‘Is he good to go?’ He said, ‘Yup.'”

With two injured quarterbacks, the Giants managed to win without throwing the ball the rest of the game.

“I feel good. I feel good. A little sore but all good. Listen to the trainers and doctors and go from there but feeling good,” Jones said, admitting there was pain when he returned to the game. “It hurt. Didn’t feel like I could move quite the same.”

In addition to Jones and Taylor, the Giants also saw injuries to right tackle Evan Neal, safety Julian Love, guard Mark Glowinski, wide receiver Kenny Golladay, cornerback Aaron Robinson, defensive lineman defensive lineman Henry Mondeaux and edge rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari.

Are we missing any?

The exact severity of each injury remains unclear but at least a few of them (Robinson, Mondeaux) appeared destined to miss some time. The same is likely true for Jones and Taylor. The good news is that Thibodeaux said he merely had a back spasm and would be fine.

Love also said he would “return soon,” but that promise was vague and also sounded like he could miss some time.

Although the Giants are 3-1 on the season and that’s worth celebrating, they once again appear to be well on their way toward leading the league in injuries — a distinction they own since 2009.

Giants’ Leonard Williams, four others out vs. Bears

The New York Giants have listed five players out against the Chicago Bears, including DL Leonard Williams and WR Kadarius Toney.

The New York Giants were hopeful to get several injured players back against the Chicago Bears but will have to wait another week on many.

Wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Wan’Dale Robinson aren’t ready to go just yet, and the same is true for defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who was also listed out.

On the plus side, cornerback Aaron Robinson will make his return to the field and it couldn’t come soon enough. Rookie Cor’Dale Flott will miss Sunday’s Week 4 game with a calf injury.

Also in the good news department, defensive lineman Jihad Ward will be available after missing practice earlier in the week.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Bears can be found below:

Giants injury report: Jihad Ward returns to practice, Leonard Williams sits

New York Giants DL Jihad Ward returned to practice on Thursday, but the news wasn’t as good for WR Kadarius Toney or DL Leonard Williams.

The New York Giants returned to the field on Thursday afternoon with “Fantastic Voyage” blaring over the loudspeakers in honor of rapper Coolio, who passed away at the age of 59 on Wednesday.

A day removed from the team’s walkthrough, all eyes were on the likes of Kadarius Toney, Leonard Williams and Aaron Robinson.

The bad news? Toney and Williams remain sidelined. The good news? Robinson was practicing and appears poised to make his return on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Nick McCloud (hamstring), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring), DL Leonard Williams (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf)

Limited participant: CB Aaron Robinson (appendicitis), DL Jihad Ward (knee)

Full participant: CB Justin Layne (concussion)

Giants injury report: Aaron Robinson ‘trending upward’

The New York Giants held a walkthrough on Wednesday and head coach Brian Daboll says CB Aaron Robinson is “trending up.”

The New York Giants returned to the building on Wednesday following a Week 3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Given that they played on Monday night, the team held a walkthrough that was closed to the media.

Prior to practice, head coach Brian Daboll said rookie cornerback Cor’Dale Flott would be added to the injury report. He also noted that several other players, including wide receiver Kadarius Toney, would continue to be managed.

The good news? Daboll noted cornerback Aaron Robinson was “trending up.”

The Giants’ (projected) Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Nick McCloud (hamstring), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring), DL Leonard Williams (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf), WR Sterling Shepard (knee), DL Jihad Ward (knee)

Limited participant: CB Aaron Robinson (appendicitis), CB Justin Layne (concussion)

Full participant: N/A

Giants’ Kadarius Toney doubtful, 4 out vs. Cowboys

The New York Giants have ruled four out and listed WR Kadarius Toney and DL Leonard Williams as doubtful against the Cowboys in Week 3.

The New York Giants will likely get edge rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari back on Monday against the Dallas Cowboys, but they’ll be without a few others.

As anticipated, cornerback Aaron Robinson will not play after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. He is expected to be joined by wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who missed the team’s previous two practices with a lingering hamstring injury.

Rookie wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson will also miss his second consecutive game.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Cowboys can be found below:

Giants injury report: Kadarius Toney a projected non-participant

The New York Giants released a projected injury report on Friday and WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was downgraded from the day prior.

The New York Giants did not have an official practice on Friday but did release a projected injury report following the day’s meetings and walkthrough.

Nothing had changed since the day prior with one alarming exception: wide receiver Kadarius Toney was listed as a non-participant.

Toney has been dealing with a hamstring issue for several weeks and the fact that he was DNP on a projection does not bode well for his potential availability on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants’ (projected) Friday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: DL Leonard Williams (knee), CB Aaron Robinson (appendicitis), CB Nick McCloud (hamstring), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Justin Layne (concussion), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring)

Limited participant: LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee), LB Azeez Ojulari (calf), OL Jon Feliciano (shin), S Jason Pinnock (shoulder), DB Dane Belton (clavicle)

Full participant: N/A
