Giants place Gary Brightwell on IR, activate two from practice squad

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.

Giants’ Daniel Jones among two out vs. Jets in Week 8

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:

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones still not cleared for contact

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is still not cleared for contact while WR Wan’Dale Robinson was added to the injury report.

The New York Giants were back on the practice field in East Rutherford on Thursday and once again, all eyes were on quarterback Daniel Jones and his progress.

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.

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

Did not participate: RB Gary Brightwell (hamstring), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest)

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones still not cleared for contact

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones was limited in practice on Wednesday and is not yet cleared for contact, while other key pieces returned.

The New York Giants were back on the practice field on Wednesday and all eyes were on quarterback Daniel Jones, who has missed the past two games with a neck injury.

Unfortunately for Jones and the Giants, his status has not changed. He was a limited participant in practice but is not yet cleared for contact.

“Same as he was last week,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters. “He’ll do stuff in practice; non-contact. Getting better but the same.”

The Giants did receive good news elsewhere, welcoming back offensive linemen Andrew Thomas and John Michael Schmitz. Both players were limited in practice and have a chance to play on Sunday.

Defensive lineman Leonard Williams was given a veteran rest day.

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

Did not participate: DL Leonard Williams (rest), RB Gary Brightwell (hamstring)

Defense carries Giants to 14-7 victory over Commanders

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.

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)

Full participant: RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), DL D.J. Davidson (knee), CB Tre Hawkins (knee)

Giants’ Daniel Jones, 4 others out vs. Bills in Week 6

The New York Giants will be without QB Daniel Jones and many other key starters on Sunday night in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills.

The New York Giants will take on the Buffalo Bills this Sunday night and they will do so incredibly shorthanded.

After three days on the sideline, head coach Brian Daboll officially ruled quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) out for the game. He will be joined by a multitude of others, including left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring).

Running back Saquon Barkley is also unlikely to play although the Giants say that will be a game-time decision. That’s been the case in each of the previous three weeks but Barkley has been ruled out prior to warmups each time.

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

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, John Michael Schmitz remain sidelined

New York Giants LT Andrew Thomas and rookie OL John Michael Schmitz remain sidelined in practice and appear unlikely to play in Week 5.

The New York Giants took the field for their second of three practices leading up to Saturday’s departure for Florida.

There was hope that both left tackle Andrew Thomas and rookie center John Michael Schmitz would return to the field but that did not happen. Instead, head coach Brian Daboll revealed that nothing would change from the day prior.

That likely means no Thomas, JMS or reserve Shane Lemieux for the Giants on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

It also wasn’t entirely accurate as linebacker Micah McFadden was added with an ankle injury.

Running back Saquon Barkley was once again limited but he, too, remains uncertain for the Week 5 game.

The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Shane Lemieux (groin)

Limited participant: LB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), TE Daniel Bellinger (knee), OL Evan Neal (hand/ankle), OL Marcus McKethan (knee), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), LB Micah McFadden (ankle)
