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.

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.

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.

Giants injury report: Malik Nabers, Devin Singletary remain sidelined

New York Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers (concussion) and RB Devin Singletary (groin) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday.

The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.

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

While Nabers remains sidelined and in concussion protocol, head coach Brian Daboll is still holding out hope that the rookie can play on Sunday.

“Making progress,” Daboll said of Nabers.

Several other Giants also made progress as cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson and Andru Phillips returned to the field. Running back Devin Singletary also did some work on the side.

Giants injury report: Malik Nabers remains in concussion protocol

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers is in concussion protocol while cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson and Dru Phillips remain sidelined.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday morning in preparation for a Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington.

All eyes were understandably on rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who suffered a concussion in a 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.

With 10 days in between games, the Giants have been and remain optimistic about Nabers’ potential availability this coming Sunday but it’s still early.

“Early stages,” head coach Brian Daboll said of where Nabers is in concussion protocol. “Day to day.”

Meanwhile, cornerbacks Andru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson remain sidelined.

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

Did not participate: WR Malik Nabers (concussion), RB Devin Singletary (groin), DB Andru Phillips (calf), CB Adoree’ Jackson (calf)

Giants’ Dru Phillips, Adoree’ Jackson out vs. Cowboys in Week 4

New York Giants cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson are out against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4 due to calf injuries.

The New York Giants will continue their regular season slate against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Because of the quick turnaround, the Giants will limp into the Week 4 game down two key cornerbacks: rookie Dru Phillips and veteran Adoree’ Jackson.

“I think it’s always difficult for these guys on a short week, the routine. Again, you’ve got to play them when they’re called upon. We’re doing the best we can. Our walkthroughs, extra meetings, extra walkthroughs,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Tuesday.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was also limited on Wednesday with a knee injury but did not receive an injury designation.

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

Giants injury report: Dru Phillips, Adoree’ Jackson continue to sit out

New York Giants CB Dru Phillips (calf) and CB Adoree’ Jackson (calf) are unlikely to play on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Tuesday ahead of a Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Similar to the day prior, they were limited to a walkthrough.

Before practice, head coach Brian Daboll met with reporters and revealed that cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson would again sit out with calf injuries. However, Daboll said, neither is expected to land on injured reserve (IR).

Daboll also expressed optimism that fellow cornerback Nick McCloud, who has missed the previous two games with a knee injury, would return on Thursday night.

Little else on the injury report changed.

Giants projected injury report: Dru Phillips, Adoree’ Jackson sit out

The New York Giants released a projected injury report for Monday with cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson sitting out.

The New York Giants did not escape their Week 3 win in Cleveland unscathed.

They have several new names on their injury report on Monday. With the Dallas Cowboys coming to town in three days, they’ll have very little time to heal up.

“We’ll do walkthroughs, have a lot of meeting time, some extra meeting time, extra walkthroughs to get prepared for this game,” Daboll said.

Cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson both sat out Monday’s walkthrough with calf injuries.

Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (foot), linebacker Micah McFadden (back), and wide receiver Darius Slayton (thumb), who were all hurt in Sunday’s game, were projected as limited on Monday.

Defensive back Nick McCloud (knee), who was inactive on Sunday, was also limited.

Center John Michael Schmitz (neck) and right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (thumb) participated fully.

Giants’ Adoree’ Jackson, Darius Muasau fined by NFL

New York Giants CB Adoree’ Jackson and rookie LB Darius Muasau both received fines from the NFL, the latter due to a hip-drop tackle.

New York Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was penalized for a bogus defensive pass interference in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings and then called for the officials to be fined after the game.

What Jackson was not penalized for was a hip-drop tackle. In fact, no one in the league was — the penalty was not called a single time during opening week.

But Jackson and rookie linebacker Darius Muasau each received a fine from the league over the outlawed tackle this weekend, reports Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was fined $9,804 for a tackle on Vikings tight end Johnny Mundt and linebacker Darius Muasau was fined $4,696 for a tackle on wide receiver Jordan Addison. Addison left the game with an ankle injury and he will not play this weekend.

The NFL’s enforcement of the ban is expected to be mainly done through fines rather than in-game penalties because the play has multiple elements that must be present to be worthy of punishment and that’s difficult for on-field officials to ascertain.

New York Jets cornerback Michael Carter made a very similar tackle on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers but he was not fined. Those were saved for Jackson and Muasau.

There is also a discrepancy over Jackson’s fine with some reporting his resulted from an unnecessary roughness penalty late in the second quarter.

Whatever the case may be, both Jackson and Muasau have been ordered to pay up.

Giants’ Adoree’ Jackson wants official fined for controversial DPI call

New York Giants CB Adoree’ Jackson believes an official should be fined for his blatantly incorrect DPI penalty on Sunday vs. Minnesota.

The New York Giants committed nine penalties for 95 yards in their 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium on Sunday but there was one that stood out.

The defensive pass interference call on Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson in the first quarter seemed a little egregious.

At the 5:32 mark of the first quarter, Minnesota had a third-and-7 on their own 37. Quarterback Sam Darnold hoisted a pass in the direction of wide receiver Jordan Addison down the right side of the field. Jackson got there in what seemed to be a timely fashion and broke the pass up.

Replays showed Jackson may have gotten there a split second too soon but he also had his head turned around facing the ball, which was underthrown.

A flag was thrown. Jackson — and many others — objected, but to no avail.

A frustrated Jackson vented to the New York Post after the game.

Was it a bad call? Should it actually have been offensive pass interference against receiver Jordan Addison, who seemed to initiate contact by jumping onto Jackson’s back to get to an underthrown pass by Sam Darnold?

“He knows it,” Jackson said. “When I say ‘he,’ the ref. That’s why he wouldn’t look at me, wouldn’t talk to me. You saw Addison almost pull my damn helmet off. I turned and looked for the ball. I can’t do anything about it.”

The penalty went for 36 yards, giving the Vikings a first down on the Giants’ 27. Three plays later, Aaron Jones scampered into the end zone to give Minnesota a 7-3 lead.

“The ref is sorry,” Jackson continued. “He can hear me say that. He needs to be fined just like they fine us on different things. That was a BS call. He knows it. I wouldn’t look at me either if I knew I made a bad call.

“You heard the crowd reaction. You looked at the screen and saw it. So, he knows he made a bad call. And he threw it late. Come on.”

It was just one of many things that did not go the Giants’ way on Sunday.

Jackson, who played the last three seasons with Big Blue, was playing despite just being signed “off the couch” last week. He had been a free agent since March and did not have the benefit of the offseason program or training camp.

Jackson was signed due to his familiarity with new defensive coordinator Shane Bowen’s system from their days in Tennessee together. He played just 19 of the Giants’ 55 defensive snaps on Sunday, making two tackles but gave the Giants’ young secondary a veteran to lean on.
