Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll updated the status of several injured players, including wide receiver Malik Nabers, who is now nursing a toe injury.

Daboll also revealed that center John Michael Schmitz remains sidelines and that guard Greg Van Roten would take some snaps at center.

“See where they’re at (on Friday),” he said of JMS and Nabers.

With offensive line injuries a continuing problem, the Giants signed tackle Ricky Lee to the practice squad. They also re-signed defensive back Alex Cook to the reserve unit.

Giants injury report: Malik Nabers, six others miss practice

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers was among seven players who would have missed Wednesday’s practice; six others would have been limited.

The New York Giants returned to practice on Tuesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 17 game against the Indianapolis Colts at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The practice was scheduled a day early to give players off on Wednesday — Christmas Day. As a result, there was no official injury report listed on Tuesday with the present injury report serving as a projection.

Before taking their holiday break, head coach Brian Daboll spoke with reporters yesterday and attempted to look ahead as best he could.

“No. He’s not going to go today. It’s early in the week,” he said of linebacker Micah McFadden.

“I’ll just give you guys that aren’t, right now. So, (Tyrone) Tracy (Jr.), he won’t practice. Again, it’s Tuesday, so it’s a little different. (Malik) Nabers, John Michael (Schmitz Jr.), (Greg) Stroman (Jr.), (Raheem) Layne, (Cory) Durden, McFadden and Dru Phillips.”

Like the players, all of the front office staff had Wednesday off but Daboll did say quarterback Drew Lock is expected to start.

“I think Drew will be ok,” he said.

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

Did not participate: LB Micah McFadden (neck), RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle), WR Malik Nabers (toe), OL John Michael Schmitz (ankle), CB Greg Stroman (shoulder/shin), S Raheem Layne (knee), DT Cory Durden (shoulder)

Limited participant: CB Andru Phillips (knee), OL Jermaine Eluemunor (wrist), QB Drew Lock (shoulder), S Dane Belton (knee), DL Jordon Riley (knee), DL Armon Watts (shoulder)

Full participant: OL Austin Schlottmann (fibula), OL Aaron Stinnie (concussion)

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.

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.

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-Panthers Week 10: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants lost their Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants somehow managed to reach a new low on Sunday in Germany, falling to the Carolina Panthers, 20-17, in humiliating overtime fashion.

Whenever we think the Giants have hit rock bottom, they find new and inventive ways to prove there could also be worse.

Truth be told, we’re out of words at this point. We’ve recycled the same post-loss talking points for years and through multiple regimes, and it all just sounds like a broken record. Poor personnel handling, bad play-calling, bad coaching, poor execution, blah, blah, blah…

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ Week 10 loss.

Offensive snaps: 75
Defensive snaps: 60
Special teams snaps: 30

Quarterback Daniel Jones took 100 percent of the offensive snaps and that’s only noteworthy because under no circumstances should that have been the case. Head coach Brian Daboll should have benched him in the second quarter but admitted after the game he didn’t give it any consideration. Astonishing.

In his return to the starting role, right tackle Evan Neal also took 100 percent of the offensive snaps and unlike Jones, played exceptionally well. Who’d ever expect to read those words?

With Jason Pinnock out, safety Dane Belton took 100 percent of the defensive snaps alongside Tyler Nubin but only one of them played up to snuff. We’ll let you guess which one (hint: it wasn’t Belton).

Giants’ Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns questionable vs. Eagles

The New York Giants have ruled two players out and listed NT Dexter Lawrence and LB Brian Burns as questionable vs. Philadelphia Eagles.

The New York Giants will limp into a Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles down offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) and edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist), each of whom is on injured reserve (IR).

They will also be without punter Jamie Gillan, who will miss his second consecutive game with a hamstring injury.

In Gillan’s absence, Matt Haack will handle both the punting and holder duties.

Meanwhile, nose tackle Dexter Lawrence (hip) and linebacker Brian Burns (groin) returned to practice on Friday but Daboll stopped short of guaranteeing they would suit up against the Eagles.

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who cleared concussion protocol on Thursday, is expected to play but is now nursing a groin injury.

Following a summer littered with injuries — several to key players — the Giants will enter Week 1 relatively healthy and with the entirety of their roster available.

“Nope,” head coach Brian Daboll said on Friday when asked if he’d rule anyone out.

Safety Dane Belton (back), linebacker Brian Burns (ankle), quarterback Drew Lock (abdomen), linebacker Micah McFadden (groin), and wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (groin) were limited in Friday’s practice.

Giants injury report: Drew Lock among 4 projected limited participants

New York Giants players were off on Thursday, so the injury report was projected and remained the same with Drew Lock and 3 others limited.

The New York Giants were off on Thursday after conducting a walkthrough on Monday, a fully padded practice on Tuesday, and a normal practice session on Wednesday.

They will return to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center on Friday for one final practice ahead of their Week 1 opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

It’s a quirk in the schedule due to the off week between the preseason and the regular season. Beginning next week, it’s likely that team meetings will be held on Monday with the players being given off on Tuesday.

Accordingly, the injury report for Thursday was projected due to players being away from the facility and resting.

The Giants’ full Thursday (projected) injury report, which did not change from a day prior, can be found below:

Did not participate: N/A

Limited participant: QB Drew Lock (abdomen), LB Micah McFadden (groin), S Dane Belton (back), WR Gunner Olszewski (groin)

Full participant: N/A

Meanwhile, quarterback Drew Lock is still dealing with a hip injury suffered during a Week 1 preseason victory over the Detroit Lions.

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