Giants two best defenders miss practice on Wednesday ahead of game vs. Eagles

Giants’ Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence miss Wednesday practice ahead of Week 7 game vs. the Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles (3-2) and Giants (2-4) are set for a critical NFC East matchup on Sunday, and New York’s two best defenders are nursing injuries that must be monitored.

Jordan Raanan reports that outside linebacker Brian Burns (groin) and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (hip) will not practice on Wednesday. It’s the first practice of the week and not unusual, but Brian Daboll’s team must have their two most important defenders in the lineup.

Overall, the Giants are already without linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist), who is currently resting on injured reserve (IR) and will soon be joined by left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot), who is out for the season.

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) donned a red non-contact jersey and returned to practice.

Giants injury report: Malik Nabers practices, Dexter Lawrence sits out

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers returned to practice on Wednesday while NT Dexter Lawrence (hip) and LB Brian Burns (groin) sat out.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Unfortunately for the Giants, they were short on superstars as linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) currently rests on injured reserve (IR) and is soon to be joined by left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot), who is out for the season.

On the positive end of the spectrum, rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) donned a red non-contact jersey and returned to practice.

“Good progress,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s much better.”

The Giants are “optimistic” Nabers will be able to play on Sunday against the Eagles.

Meanwhile, Daboll said the team would not open any windows for injured reserve (IR) players, meaning kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) is out for at least one more week.

Additionally, Daboll seems uncertain about the Week 7 statuses of nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and linebacker Brian Burns, each of whom missed practice.

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

Did not participate: OL Andrew Thomas (foot), NT Dexter Lawrence (hip), LB Brian Burns (groin), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring)

Limited participant: WR Malik Nabers (concussion), WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (shoulder), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (ankle), WR Darius Slayton (groin), RB Devin Singletary (groin), LB Ty Summers (hamstring)

Full participant: N/A

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)

Limited participant: RB Devin Singletary (groin), LB Brian Burns (groin), CB Adoree’ Jackson (calf), CB Andru Phillips (calf/shoulder), DL DJ Davidson (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)

Limited participant: RB Devin Singletary (groin), LB Brian Burns (groin), CB Adoree’ Jackson (calf), CB Andru Phillips (groin/shoulder)

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

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.

Panthers fans don’t seem to miss Brian Burns after his quiet TNF performance

Panthers fans may no longer be fretting over their team’s trade of Brian Burns, who continues to have a quiet start to his Giants career.

Maybe the Brian Burns trade wasn’t so bad after all.

The two-time Pro Bowl defender, under Thursday night’s prime-time lights, was shut out in the New York Giants’ 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. According to NFL’s Next Gen Stats, Burns generated a total of zero pressures over 25 pass-rushing attempts—marking his first career game without a pressure on at least 10 tries.

Burns, of course, was shipped off to New York back in March by the Carolina Panthers—who were mocked for their weak return on the deal. The Panthers—in exchange for one of the game’s top young edge rushers—received a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick while also agreeing to a  2024 fifth-round pick swap.

Plus, that deal looked a lot worse considering they reportedly had an offer of two first-round picks for Burns from the Los Angeles Rams in 2022.

But we’re already four games into the 2024 campaign, and Burns is sitting on just one sack. And the previously peeved Panthers fans don’t seem to be too peeved at the moment . . .

Browns might dodge Pro Bowl pass rusher as offensive tackles ease back into action

The Browns might dodge a player who has potential to Burn(s) them.

The Cleveland Browns may just get offensive tackles Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills back in their lineup this week against the New York Giants, and as they ease back onto the field they may just dodge a matchup against Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns.

While Burns was not on the injury report all week, he was a late addition on Friday with a hamstring injury. The Giants have officially listed him as questionable for Sunday’s game at Huntington Bank Field.

Burns, who was traded from the Carolina Panthers to the Giants this offseason before signing a mega-deal in the Big Apple, has yet to record a sack this season. However, as a fringe double-digit sack artist, not having to see him in the first game that either (or potentially both) Conklin or Wills get back onto the field would be a stellar way for them to get their feet wet again in live-action football.

We will be monitoring closely to see if Burns can play this week against the Browns.

Giants’ Nick McCloud out, Brian Burns questionable vs. Browns

New York Giants CB Nick McCloud is out and LB Brian Burns is questionable for a Week 3 game against the Cleveland Browns.

The New York Giants will continue their 2024 regular season on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

Entering the game, Cleveland is viewed as a heavy favorite after picking up their first win of the season in Week 2. The Giants, meanwhile, are reeling after an 0-2 start and things are beginning to get dicey in the locker room.

Despite being a limited participant this week, linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) will start in his usual role on Sunday. He is not expected to be on a snap count.

Thibodeaux will be joined by veteran defensive back Isaiah Simmons, who missed time this week as the result of a personal matter.

Meanwhile, linebacker Brian Burns was a surprise addition to the injury report on Friday. He is listed as questionable.

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