USC announces tunnel captain for homecoming game

Adoree Jackson will be USC’s tunnel captain for the Nebraska game. USC hopes the game’s outcome matches all the festivities surrounding the event.

On Friday, USC announced its tunnel captain for Saturday’s homecoming game against Nebraska. Serving in the role will be none other than former USC All-America cornerback Adoree’ Jackson. He played at USC from 2014-2016. As a junior in 2016, he became the second Trojan to win the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back.

Jackson also saw action on offense and special teams during his time in Cardinal and Gold. In fact, he is the Trojans’ all-time leader in both kickoff return yards and punt return touchdowns.

One of Jackson’s most memorable moments at USC came during the 2014 Holiday Bowl against Nebraska, when he returned a kickoff 98 yards for the game’s first touchdown. The Trojans would go on to win the game 45-42.

Jackson was selected 18th in the 2017 NFL draft by the Tennessee Titans. He spent the first four seasons of his professional career there, before signing with the New York Giants in 2021, where he has been since.

Kickoff between USC and Nebraska is set for 1 p.m. local time in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Giants injury report: Tyrone Tracy Jr. advances in concussion protocol

New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. advanced in concussion protocol and has a chance to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 9 game against the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium.

Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll delivered a positive injury update, revealing that all but two players — punter Jamie Gillan and wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton — would return to practice.

Daboll also stated that rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. advanced in concussion protocol and would wear the red non-contact jersey.

“Trending in the right direction,” Daboll said.

In further good news, Daboll said there’s a strong chance veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson returns for Sunday’s game against Washington barring a setback.

“Good to go,” he said of Jackson

Giants injury report: Tyrone Tracy Jr. in concussion protocol

New York Giants rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in the “early stages” of concussion protocol and may not be available in Week 9 vs. Washington.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 9 game against the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

On short rest, the Giants had a lengthy injury report with several veterans and stars sitting out, including nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Head coach Brian Daboll revealed that Tracy, who left Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, was in the “early stages” of concussion protocol. He is 50-50 to play against the Commanders.

Lawrence, who has been battling a hip injury for most of the season, was given a veteran rest day.

Meanwhile, offensive tackle Joshua Ezeudu had his knee drained and missed practice, paving the way for veteran Chris Hubbard to start at left tackle for the second consecutive week.

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

Did not participate: RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), OL Joshua Ezeudu (knee), WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles), WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle), LB Matthew Adams (knee)

Giants’ Jamie Gillan out, Jermaine Eluemunor questionable vs. Steelers

The New York Giants have ruled three players out, including punter Jamie Gillan, one as doubtful and OL Jermaine Eluemunor as questionable.

The New York Giants wrapped up their week of practice on Saturday afternoon in East Rutherford and despite some players taking a step forward, the team will be shorthanded against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.

The good news is that linebacker Brian Burns (groin/Achilles), who is as tough as they come, returned to the field and head coach Brian Daboll indicated he will play in Week 8.

Daboll also expressed optimism that right tackle Jermaine Elueminor would suit up on Monday night despite missing his second straight day of practice.

“He did a walkthrough. I think he’ll be okay. But I can’t guarantee it,” Daboll said.

But that’s about where the good news ended and the bad news began.

Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson will not play again this week and the Giants could also be without several of his counterparts, Tre Hawkins and Cor’Dale Flott.

“He’s still got the neck. I don’t think he’ll make it,” Daboll said. “The other two guys, not sure if they will.”

Punter Jamie Gillan will also sit this one out.

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

New York Giants

Out: P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), LB Ty Summers (ankle)

Doubtful: CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin)

Questionable: CB Tre Hawkins (ankle), OL Jermaine Eluemunor (hip)

Pittsburgh Steelers

Out: WR Roman Wilson (hamstring), OL Dylan Cook (foot), OL Zach Frazier (ankle), LB Nick Herbig (hamstring), LB Tyler Matakevich (hamstring)

Doubtful: WR/KR Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle)

Questionable: None

Giants injury report: Jermaine Eluemunor misses practice

The New York Giants have added right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (groin) to the injury report after not practicing on Friday.

The New York Giants took the field on Friday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 8 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll delivered some unfortunate injury news and revealed that right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor would not participate as the result of a groin injury.

Although Daboll wouldn’t rule Eluemunor out for Monday night, embattled offensive tackle Evan Neal stepped in and assumed first-team reps on the right side.

Joshua Ezeudu continues taking first-team reps at left tackle.

“Hopeful,” Daboll said when asked if Eluemunor would play against the Steelers.

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

Did not participate: LB Brian Burns (groin/Achilles), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), LB Ty Summers (hamstring/ankle), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), OL Jermaine Eluemunor (hip)

Limited participant: NT Dexter Lawrence (hip), CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin), CB Tre Hawkins (ankle)

Full participant: WR Jalin Hyatt (ribs), WR Byrce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles)

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence, Adoree’ Jackson not practicing

New York Giants nose tackle Dexter Lawrence (hip) was among four players who missed practice on Thursday afternoon.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday afternoon in preparation for a Week 8 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Despite the extra day off, head coach Brian Daboll delivered some unfortunate injury news before players took the field. Of note, nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and cornerback Cor’Dale Flott were sidelined.

Although Lawrence was getting more of a rest day, Daboll said Flott would not practice until at least Friday but more than likely, will sit out on Monday Night Football.

“I wouldn’t be able to say week to week. We’ll see where he is tomorrow,” he said. “Probably, I don’t know if he’d be able to make it this week, but I’m not going to rule him out because he hasn’t been ruled out to me.”

With Adoree’ Jackson still sidelined, that created an uphill climb for the Giants.

Meanwhile, punter Jamie Gillan, who has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, took a step forward in his recovery and worked with trainers on the side.

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

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hip), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin), LB Ty Summers (hamstring/ankle), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), CB Tre Hawkins (ankle)

Limited participant: LB Brian Burns (groin), WR Byrce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles)

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns remain sidelined

While New York Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers is trending toward playing in Week 7, NT Dexter Lawrence and LB Brian Burns remain sidelined.

The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium.

Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll revealed some positive news to reporters, noting that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers advanced in concussion protocol and would practice in full.

If all goes well, Nabers will meet with an independent neurologist in hopes of being cleared to play.

The news wasn’t nearly as positive for nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and linebacker Brian Burns who, despite their vows to play on Sunday, missed their second straight day of practice.

Veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was also sidelined on Thursday due to a neck injury.

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

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hip), LB Brian Burns (groin), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck)

Limited participant: WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (shoulder), WR Darius Slayton (groin), RB Devin Singletary (groin), LB Ty Summers (hamstring)

Full participant: WR Malik Nabers (concussion/groin), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (ankle)

Giants injury report: Malik Nabers remains in concussion protocol

New York Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers is at risk of missing his second straight game as he remains in concussion protocol.

The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals at MetLife Stadium.

With time once again running low, it was a big day for rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and several of the other injured veterans.

A day after doing some work outside with the trainers, Nabers remained sidelined. There has been no change in his status, head coach Brian Daboll revealed.

“The same spot he was in yesterday,” Daboll told reporters.

There was better news on running back Devin Singletary, whom Daboll said was “advancing.”

Meanwhile, offensive lineman Jon Runyan Jr. continues to sit out due to an illness.

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

Did not participate: WR Malik Nabers (concussion), LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist), OL Jon Runyan Jr. (illness), WR Bryde Ford-Wheaton (shoulder)

Giants injury report: Kayvon Thibodeaux ‘week to week’ after wrist surgery

New York Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux is consider “week to week” after undergoing wrist surgery on Wednesday morning.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday morning in preparation for a Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

All eyes were understandably on rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who missed last Sunday’s victory over the Seattle Seahawks due to a concussion despite 10 days to heal.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Nabers remained in concussion protocol but did take a step forward as he worked outside with trainers for the first time.

“He is doing better,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters, adding that Nabers is “day to day.”

Meanwhile, Daboll revealed that edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux is considered “week to week” with a wrist injury that required surgery on Wednesday morning. He is not expected to play in Week 6.

“I’m encouraged with what I’ve heard but, again, you never know,” Daboll said of Thibodeaux’s long-term prognosis.

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

Did not participate: WR Malik Nabers (concussion), LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist), OL Jon Runyan Jr. (illness), OL Greg Van Roten (rest)

Giants snap counts from Week 5: What’s up with Jalin Hyatt?

The New York Giants won their Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants pulled off an improbable upset of the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Sunday afternoon and did it in unexpectedly dominant fashion.

Although the final scoreboard showed 29-20, it’s not indicative of how the game played out. The Giants controlled the pace from the opening whistle until the final whistle, winning in all three phases of the game.

“Proud of the guys to come out here, play a good game, and get a win on the road,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters. “Proud of our team, our coaches. They put a lot of hard work to come out here on the road.

“So proud of the guys. Competed well. Got the result we wanted. Really the process is what I’m proud of, how they stayed true to it, how they practiced, how they prepared, meetings, all those type of things. Good win.”

The Giants improved to 2-3 with the win and are showing signs of life.

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ Week 5 victory.

Offensive snaps: 72
Defensive snaps: 58
Special teams snaps: 30

In the absence of rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, fellow wideout Jalin Hyatt drew the start and was on the field for 48 snaps. He ran 26 routes but wasn’t targeted a single time.

Although Hyatt did draw two crucial holding penalties, his lack of involvement in the offense continues to raise eyebrows. It was previously believed the issue was relative to his snap share but that wasn’t the case on Sunday. There’s more to this story.

Meanwhile, Tyrone Tracy Jr. appeared to establish himself as the team’s No. 2 back following Eric Gray’s latest fumble. Veteran wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins also got some field time after being elevated from the practice squad.

Defensively, Isaiah Simmons didn’t see a single snap but boy did he make his presence felt on special teams. Good things happen when he’s on the field, so perhaps the Giants should make note of that moving forward.

Also of note, cornerbacks Adroee’ Jackson and Andru Phillips played well in their returns, taking 27 and 23 snaps, respectively. Rookie linebacker Darius Muasau took just five snaps.
