Giants injury report: Andrew Thomas, John Michael Schmitz miss practice

The New York Giants were without three offensive linemen in practice on Wednesday, including Andrew Thomas and John Michael Schmitz.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday, just two days removed from a humiliating loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

They now have just four days to prepare for a Week 5 game against the high-powered Miami Dolphins, who are looking to bounce back following a Sunday loss to the Buffalo Bills.

As the Giants took the field in East Rutherford, all eyes were on their banged-up offensive line and the news wasn’t good.

Left tackle Andrew Thomas, rookie center John Michael Schmitz, and reserve Shane Lemieux all missed practice due to their respective injuries. However, head coach Brian Daboll did indicate that JMS could play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Meanwhile, linebacker Azeez Ojulari returned to limited participation following his recent return and was joined by tight end Daniel Bellinger and several others.

The Giants’ Wednesday 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)

The New York Giants visit the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night in Week 3, and here are five keys to victory.

There are five things the Giants must do to keep their momentum and secure another win.

Giants injury report: Cor’Dale Flott, Wan’Dale Robinson remain limited

The New York Giants were off on Thursday but released a projected injury report that didn’t change from the day prior.

The New York Giants gave the players a day off on Thursday which meant there was no practice. And while some players were at the facility, there was no on-field activity.

Accordingly, the Giants were forced to project their second injury report of the week and as a result, there were no official changes to a player’s status.

Cornerback Cor’Dale Flott and wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson remain “limited.” Their status for Sunday night is 50-50.

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

Did not participate: N/A

Limited participant: CB Cor’Dale Flott (hamstring), S Gervarrius Owens (hamstring), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), RB Gary Brightwell (knee), LB Cam Brown (ankle), TE Lawrence Cager (ankle), DT D.J. Davidson (knee)

Giants injury report: Wan’Dale Robinson, 6 others limited

The New York Giants had the entire team available for practice on Wednesday but seven players, including WR Wan’Dale Robinson, were limited.

The New York Giants took the field for their first (open) practice of the 2023 regular season on Wednesday, which also gave way to their first official injury report and a few updates from head coach Brian Daboll.

The good news? Despite being a little banged up at the conclusion of training camp, every single member of the team’s 53-man roster practiced in at least a limited capacity.

“It’s good to have them all out here,” Daboll told reporters.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on cutdown day, continued to progress toward a return. He was limited on Wednesday alongside six others.

Giants release second unofficial preseason depth chart: 5 takeaways

The New York Giants have released their unofficial depth chart ahead of the Carolina Panthers preseason game and here are five takeaways.

The New York Giants have released their second unofficial depth chart, this time in advance of their Week 2 preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.

The depth chart was released prior to several of the team’s Tuesday transactions and includes no changes from a week ago. Everything remains exactly the same.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t a few notable takeaways, however. Here are five.

Giants injury update: D.J. Davidson activated from PUP

The New York Giants have activated DT D.J. Davidson from PUP and offered updates on several other injured players, including Collin Johnson.

Prior to practice on Monday, New York Giants defensive lineman D.J. Davidson passed his physical and was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Davidson joins a suddenly deep group of interior defensive linemen, including rookie Jordon Riley, who played well in his NFL preseason debut.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and cornerback Aaron Robinson (knee) remain on PUP with no timetable for return, although general manager Joe Schoen previously implied that Robinson could be activated this week.

The news on wide receiver Collin Johnson, who suffered a knee injury against the Detroit Lions, was also somewhat positive. His issue does not appear to be long-term.

“I don’t think it’s long-term, but I’m not a doctor, either,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters.

Johnson will not practice on Monday but right tackle Evan Neal (concussion) will take a step forward. He will participate in the non-contact portion of practice as he works his way back. However, Neal remains in concussion protocol.

Meanwhile, offensive linemen Devery Hamilton (leg) and Tyre Phillips (unknown), running back Gary Brightwell (ankle), linebacker Cam Crown (unknown), defensive lineman Ryder Anderson (triceps), and defensive back Nick McCloud (stomach) will not practice.

Finally, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (abdominal) will practice after leaving Friday night’s preseason game against the Lions early. Nose tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (groin) will also practice.

7 Giants on the roster bubble heading into first preseason game

Here’s a look at seven New York Giants players on the roster bubble headed into their Friday night preseason game against the Detroit Lions.

The New York Giants open their preseason on Friday night against the Detroit Lions following two joint practices earlier this week.

It remains unclear who head coach Brian Daboll will play and who he won’t, but it’s a safe bet that players on the roster bubble will see extended time. The Giants have several tough decisions to make in a few weeks and would like to compile as much information as possible.

It’s make-or-break time for a number of players, including the following seven who are firmly on the bubble. Some will play, potentially helping their chances, and at least one will not.
