The New York Giants have ruled OL Evan Neal and DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches out against the Eagles, listing four others as questionable.
The New York Giants closed out their practice slate on Saturday afternoon, wrapping up their third session in four days.
Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who is nursing a hamstring injury, returned to the field and told reporters he intends to play on Monday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Head coach Brian Daboll expressed similar optimism for veteran defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson.
Full injury reports for both the Giants and Eagles can be found below:
New York Giants NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) was a projected non-participant in practice on Friday and was joined by three others.
The New York Giants enjoyed an off day on Friday with their final practice scheduled for Saturday ahead of a Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
With most players away from team facilities, that meant little change in terms of injury status. However, the Giants still moved forward with a projected injury report.
Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was a projected non-participant due to a hamstring issue that has plagued him for several weeks.
“He’s still working through his hamstring,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters this week.
Even with an extra day off this week, Sexy Dexy seems unlikely to suit up on Monday afternoon against the Eagles.
The Giants’ full (projected) Friday injury report can be found below:
Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee), OL Evan Neal (ankle), TE Lawrence Cager (groin)
Limited participant: DT A’Shawn Robinson (back), RB Matt Breida (hamstring), LB Carter Coughlin (neck), P Jamie Gillan (groin), S Xavier McKinney (illness)
Full participant: OL Justin Pugh (calf/neck), TE Darren Waller (hamstring), RB Gary Brightwell (hamstring), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

The New York Giants have released their official Thursday injury report.
The New York Giants were back on the practice field Thursday ahead of a scheduled day off and were down a starter.
Kicker Randy Bullock has been placed on season-ending injured reserve (IR) with a hamstring issue. He will be replaced by fellow kicker Cade York, who is currently on the practice squad, for the remainder of the season.
Meanwhile, all eyes were on the Giants’ trio of defensive tackles — Dexter Lawrence, A’Shawn Robinson, and Rakeem Nunez-Roches, all of whom are banged up.
Lawrence and Nunez-Roches continued to sit out while Robinson was limited.
The Giants’ full Thursday injury report can be found below:

The New York Giants have designated RB Gary Brightwell and OL Matt Peart to return from injured reserve (IR).
The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of their Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
Their first order of business was designating running back Gary Brightwell and offensive lineman Matt Peart to return from injured reserve (IR). Both will likely be able to suit up in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“We’ll open the window for Brightwell, open the window for Peart. Both those guys,” head coach Brian Daboll said.
Meanwhile, nose tackle Dexter Lawrence missed practice as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. He was joined by kicker Randy Bullock, who suffered a similar injury in Sunday’s 24-6 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Daboll is less than optimistic that Bullock will play on Monday, suggesting that Cade York will be elevated from the practice squad.
“He’s not great. Yeah, he’s not great, so that’s something we’ll work through here and see where he is. But I’m not expecting him to be ready,” he said of Bullock.
The Giants did not release a projected injury report with an extra day available on Saturday.

The New York Giants have waived RB Deon Jackson and OL Joshua Miles with three players eligible to return from IR this week.
On Monday, the New York Giants waived running back Deon Jackson and offensive lineman Joshua Miles, leaving them with 51 players on the 53-man roster.
Jackson appeared in one game for the Giants after being claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Browns on October 24. He gained two yards on a single carry in Week 9.
Miles was signed off of the Atlanta Falcons practice squad on October 17 but was inactive for each game he was with the team.
Running backs Gary Brightwell and Eric Gray and offensive lineman Matt Peart are all eligible to return from injured reserve (IR) this week and it’s likely those two open roster spots will be filled by a pair of the three.
Meanwhile, kicker Randy Bullock and tight end Tyree Jackson have reverted back to the practice squad.
With no more elevations left for Bullock, the Giants will have to make a decision at kicker. Cade York remains on the active roster for the time being.

The New York Giants have placed RB Gary Brightwell on IR and made several other transactions, including two practice squad elevations.
The New York Giants have placed running back and special teams ace Gary Brightwell on injured reserve.
Brightwell, who’s been dealing with a hamstring injury, will miss at least the next four games, and he’s eligible to return in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.
Brightwell has not played an offensive snap since Week 4 and has only been used on special teams the past three games. He didn’t practice all this week due to a hamstring issue and was ruled out for this week’s game against the New York Jets on Sunday.
The Giants have added both Jashaun Corbin and Deon Jackson to the active roster to serve as running back depth behind Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida. Corbin is expected to be a candidate for punt return duties in the wake of the injury to Eric Gray.
The Giants also signed the recently added Gunner Olszewski from their practice to squad to the 53-man roster, replacing the aforementioned Brightwell.
Finally, quarterback Tommy DeVito and linebacker Oshane Ximines were elevated from the practice squad. Both are considered standard elevations.

Tyrod Taylor will once against start for the New York Giants as QB Daniel Jones (neck) was ruled out for a Week 8 game against the Jets.
The New York Giants will host the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this Sunday and although they are getting healthier, will still be down several key players.
One of those players will be quarterback Daniel Jones, who will miss his third straight game due to a neck injury.
“I’d just say we are on this week, and we will see what happens next week,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters. “He’s getting better. He’s getting better.
“He’s throwing, he feels better every day. He’s done a good job here of the things that he can do out here on the practice field and take it one day at a time. But he’s getting closer.”
Daboll refused to answer when asked if Jones would play again this season, reminding members of the media that he’s already addressed that. The coach previously said that DJ would play again this year.
This time, however, Daboll did not seem very affirmative. It’s a storyline to keep an eye on.
In addition to Jones, the Giants also ruled out running back Gary Brightwell.
Full injury reports for both the Giants and Jets can be found below:
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is still not cleared for contact while WR Wan’Dale Robinson was added to the injury report.

Unfortunately for Jones and the Giants, there was no change in his participation level from the day prior. He remained limited and not cleared for contact.
The news was a bit better for left tackle Andrew Thomas, who saw an uptick in his practice workload. However, he remains uncertain if he’ll be able to play against the New York Jets in Week 8.
Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was given a rest day.

Defensive lineman Leonard Williams was given a veteran rest day.

Wearing their throwback uniforms, the New York Giants’ defense looked like a throwback unit, carrying the team to victory over Washington.
The New York Giants, losers of five of their six games thus far in 2023, hosted the 3-3 Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Giants played the game with an extensive injury list. Quarterback Daniel Jones and starting cornerback Adoree’ Jackson both sat out with neck injuries.
Three starting offensive linemen — left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring), center John Michael Schmitz (shoulder) and right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) were also inactive as well as swing tackle Matt Peart (shoulder).
The Giants wore their ‘legacy’ uniforms in this game, which was a sloppily-played affair by both sides.
Ultimately, the Giants’ defense stepped up and embodied the players who had worn those uniforms before them, carrying the team to a 14-7 victory.
