Giants injury report: Darren Waller designated to return from IR

The New York Giants have designated TE Darren Waller to return from injured reserve (IR) and he could play on Sunday vs. New Orleans.

The New York Giants returned to practice on Thursday — their first full practice of the week — and the first order of business was a significant one.

Just prior to taking the field, the team announced that tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) had been designated to return from injured reserve (IR). If all goes well, he could see a few snaps on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Waller indicated on Wednesday that he was close to a return but was just awaiting the green light from trainers.

In other positive news, every single player on the active roster participated on at least a limited basis for the second straight day. All have a chance to play in Week 15 — right tackle Evan Neal included.

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

Did not participate: N/A

Limited participant: OL Evan Neal (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (shoulder), NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DL A’Shawn Robinson (hamstring/finger), LB Isaiah Simmons (ankle), TE Darren Waller (hamstring)

Full participant: WR Parris Campbell (knee), LB Azeez Ojulari (shoulder)

Giants injury report: Evan Neal returns to practice

New York Giants RT Evan Neal returned to practice on Wednesday, while four others, including NT Dexter Lawrence, were limited.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday following a stunning Week 14 upset of the Green Bay Packers.

Given that the Giants played on Monday night, they were limited to a walkthrough on Wednesday. They will have full practices on both Thursday and Friday before traveling down to New Orleans on Saturday.

The positive news opening Week 15 is that the team sustained no new injuries against Green Bay. Everyone on the active roster, right tackle Evan Neal included, participated in the walkthrough on at least a limited basis.

Unfortunately, there was also some negative news.

Daboll revealed that the 21-day window for tight end Darren Waller, who is currently on injured reserve (IR), was not opened. He did not practice on Wednesday and seems unlikely to play on Sunday against the Saints unless there is a drastic change in 24 hours.

“We’ll see where we’re at here, making progress. Getting closer,” Daboll said of Waller.

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

Did not participate: N/A

Limited participant: OL Evan Neal (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (shoulder), NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), LB Azeez Ojulari (shoulder), DL A’Shawn Robinson (hamstring/finger)

Full participant: WR Parris Campbell (knee)

Studs and duds from Giants’ Week 14 win vs. Packers

Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 24-22 win for the New York Giants against the Green Bay Packers in Week 14.

The New York Giants rallied with under 2:00 remaining on Monday night to defeat the Green Bay Packers, 24-22, in a game that kept their NFC Playoff hopes very much alive.

Now at 5-8, the Giants are just one game back of the final wildcard spot with two teams — New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams — ahead of them remaining on the schedule.

Who could have seen all this coming just one month ago?

Here is a look at some of the studs and duds (and studly duds) from the Week 14 victory.

Giants injury report: Kayvon Thibodeaux, Jalin Hyatt making progress

New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux and rookie WR Jalin Hyatt took a step forward in concussion protocol and could play in Week 11.

The New York Giants were back on the practice field on Thursday and they made a few positive strides from the day prior.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence returned from his veteran rest day, while both linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux and rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt took a step forward in concussion protocol. They were limited and have a chance to play on Sunday.

The same could not be said for veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, who did not participate for the second straight day and is unlikely to suit up against the Washington Commanders.

Meanwhile, linebacker Azeez Ojulari was listed as limited with yet another new injury.

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

Did not participate: OL Evan Neal (ankle), CB Adoree’ Jackson (concussion)

Limited participant: CB Deonte Banks (ankle), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (shoulder), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), OL Andrew Thomas (knee), WR Jalin Hyatt (concussion), LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (concussion), LB Bobby Okereke (hip), LB Azeez Ojulari (ankle)

Full participant: RB Deon Jackson (concussion), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest), QB Tommy DeVito (shoulder), S Xavier McKinney (rib), S Jason Pinnock (thumb/ankle)

Giants injury report: Kayvon Thibodeaux, 2 others in concussion protocol

New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux and rookie WR Jalin Hyatt were among a trio who missed practice on Wednesday due to concussions.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of a Week 11 game against the Washington Commanders at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.

After getting a little banged up in a 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week, all eyes were on rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito. He was a limited participant and head coach Brian Daboll announced that he will start on Sunday.

“I think he’s a good, young quarterback to work with, so you know, try to improve him this week from last week,” Daboll said.

On the downside of things, rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt and linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux joined veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson in concussion protocol.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence also received his usual mid-week rest day.

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

Did not participate: LB Bobby Okereke (hip), WR Jalin Hyatt (concussion), OL Evan Neal (ankle), OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux (concussion), CB Adoree’ Jackson (concussion), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest)

Limited participant: CB Deonte Banks (ankle), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), QB Tommy DeVito (shoulder), CB Cor’Dale Flott (shoulder), S Xavier McKinney (rib), S Jason Pinnock (thumb/ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), OL Andrew Thomas (knee)

Studs and duds from Giants’ Week 10 loss vs. Cowboys

Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 49-17 loss for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10.

The New York Giants were entirely non-competitive on Sunday, falling to the Dallas Cowboys, 49-17, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

Things were ugly from the moment Big Blue took the field and they never got any prettier. In addition to being humiliated on the field, the Giants continued to humiliate themselves off of it thanks to in-fighting and sideline tantrums (more on that shortly).

With the loss, the Giants fall to 2-8 on the season and are now tied with the New York Jets as the NFL’s most-losing franchise since 2017.

Here are a look at some of the studs and duds (and studly duds) from the Week 10 loss.

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones remains limited

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) remains limited in practice and is still not cleared for contract, leaving his Week 7 status in doubt.

The New York Giants were back on the practice field on Thursday and little had changed from the day prior. Quarterback Daniel Jones remains limited and was not cleared for contact.

“He’ll throw out here at practice, same as yesterday,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters. “Like I said yesterday, doctors will let me know when he’s ready to play.”

“When the doctors tell me he’s ready to play he’ll be ready to play,” Daboll repeated when asked again.

Meanwhile, offensive lineman Shane Lemieux was placed on injured reserve (IR) with a torn biceps and five other linemen were at least limited in practice.

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

Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

Limited participant: QB Daniel Jones (neck), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), K Graham Gano (knee), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), OL Evan Neal (ankle)

Full participant: RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), DL D.J. Davidson (knee), CB Tre Hawkins (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle/shoulder), OL Mark Glowinski (quad/ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee)

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones limited in return to practice

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, while LT Andrew Thomas continues to sit out.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday and so did quarterback Daniel Jones, who is still nursing a neck injury.

Although Jones is not yet cleared for contact, he was able to do some throwing and could be in play for Sunday, although that should be considered unlikely.

“He’s doing better and he’ll be out here at practice today doing some stuff. We’ll see where we’re at,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s cleared to throw so that’s what he’s going to do today.”

Asked if there’s any concern DJ misses the rest of the season, Daboll said his quarterback will “be back.”

The news wasn’t as positive for several others, including left tackle Andrew Thomas, who continues to sit out with a hamstring injury.

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

Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Evan Neal (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

Limited participant: QB Daniel Jones (neck), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle/shoulder), K Graham Gano (knee), OL Mark Glowinski (quad/ankle), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), OL Shane Lemieux (groin/biceps)

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones continues to miss practice

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) missed practice again on Thursday as the team’s injury report somehow grew in size.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday but did so without starting quarterback Daniel Jones, who remains sidelined due to a neck injury.

Although head coach Brian Daboll refused to rule Jones out for a Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills, things appear to be trending in that direction.

In addition to Jones and the remaining injury report, which was already large in scale, punter Jamie Gillan was added as a non-participant. He missed Thursday’s practice with what the Giants called an “illness.”

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

Did not participate: QB Daniel Jones (neck), LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Matt Peart (shoulder), LB Azeez Ojulari (ankle), P Jamie Gillan (illness), RB Gary Brightwell (ankle)

Limited participant: DB Deonte Banks (ankle), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), DB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle), OL Shane Lemieux (groin), OL Marcus McKethan (knee), DL D.J. Davidson (knee), LB Micah McFadden (ankle), OL Evan Neal (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), TE Darren Waller (groin)

Giants injury report: Andrew Thomas, Azeez Ojulari limited

New York Giants LT Andrew Thomas and LB Azeez Ojulari were limited on Thursday and their status for Sunday’s game is up in the air.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday following a scary scene the day prior. Practice squad cornerback Amani Oruwariye was injured on a kickoff drill and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

Thankfully, Oruwariye was back at team facilities for the team’s second practice of the week and had full function in his extremities.

Meanwhile, left tackle Andrew Thomas and right end Darren Waller each returned to practice.
