Giants injury report: Brian Burns expected to play vs. Falcons

New York Giants LB Brian Burns missed practice again on Thursday, joining a 21-player injury report, but is expected to play vs. Falcons.

The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll updated the status of several injured players, including linebacker Brian Burns, who he said would not practice for the second straight day but could suit up come Sunday.

“Should be ready to go for the game,” he said of Burns.

Daboll was also optimistic that quarterback Tommy DeVito, who remains in concussion protocol, would serve as QB2 against the Falcons.

“I think he’ll be available,” he said.

Meanwhile, quarterback Drew Lock, who is dealing with heel and elbow issues, made it through Wednesday’s practice okay and remains the projected starter on Sunday.

The Giants’ full Thursday injury report can be found below:

Giants list an astonishing 21 players on injury report

The New York Giants listed an astonishing 21 players on their Wednesday injury report, including linebackers Brian Burns and Bobby Okereke.

The New York Giants returned to practice on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Before taking the field, head coach Brian Daboll stepped up to the podium and spoke with reporters.

Two days after lacking clarity on the quarterback situation, Daboll revealed that Drew Lock is expected to start on Sunday barring a setback. He also expects Tommy DeVito to clear concussion protocol and serve as QB3.

“Drew should be okay,” Daboll told reporters. “(DeVito) moving through the protocol. He’ll do something today. I envision him being — I mean, who knows with concussions, but he’ll have a chance. If he is, he’ll be number two.”

Tim Boyle, who took over in Week 15, will fill the role of emergency third quarterback.

Meanwhile, Daboll revealed that linebacker Patrick Johnson will likely miss Sunday’s game with a knee issue.

Giants signing guards Austin Schlottmann, Aaron Stinnie

The New York Giants have agreed to terms with offensive linemen Austin Schlottmann and Aaron Stinnie.

The New York Giants lost offensive lineman Ben Bredeson to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday but promptly rebounded by agreeing to terms with guards Aaron Stinnie and Auston Schlottmann.

Stinnie and Schlottmann were both signed as undrafted free agents in 2018.

Stinnie attended James Madison University and has played for the Tennessee Titans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including as a member of the Bucs’ 2020 Super Bowl Championship team. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed just two sacks on 442 pass block snaps last season.

Schlottman attended Texas Christian University and has suited up for the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings. A versatile player who has lined up at right guard, center and left guard, Pro Football Focus indicates he has never allowed more than one sack in a season. His ability to line up in multiple spots will certainly come in handy in 2024.

Having some veterans along the offensive line will hopefully help stabilize and solidify the protective shield around Daniel Jones.

Stinnie and Schlottmann may have gone undrafted, but both are welcome additions to an offense that needs some serious help.

Former Bucs OL Aaron Stinnie signs 1-year deal with Giants

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Aaron Stinnie is signing a one-year deal in free agency with the New York Giants

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Aaron Stinnie is signing a one-year deal with the New York Giants, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Stinnie has spent most of his career in Tampa Bay as a backup, but started 11 games at guard last season, and also performed admirably when thrust into the starting lineup due to injury during the Bucs’ Super Bowl run back in 2020.

This news comes at the same time the Bucs have signed a one-year deal with former Giants guard Ben Bredeson, which means he and Stinnie are basically just switching places in free agency.

1 pending free agent the Colts could target from each NFC team

Taking a look at one pending free agent for the Colts from each NFC team.

With free agency right around the corner, the Indianapolis Colts have the chance to make some key additions to a roster that already has some promise.

Working with some of the most salary-cap space in the NFL this offseason, general manager Chris Ballard and the front office can continue to add pieces to the defensive side of the ball while improving the supporting cast for quarterback Anthony Richardson.

Re-signing some of their own players like Michael Pittman Jr., Grover Stewart and Kenny Moore II will be key. But they also could look around the conference to bring in some outside talent.

We know Ballard isn’t one to make huge splashes in free agency, but they are still going to be an active team even if it means simply adding depth.

Here’s a look at one pending free agent from each NFC team that should interest the Colts:
