Giants injury report: Darius Slayton out vs. Panthers

New York Giants wide receivers Darius Slayton and Bryce Ford-Wheaton are unlikely to play in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers.

Editor’s note: Darius Slayton did not travel with the team to Germany and is officially out in Week 10.

The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany.

Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll delivered the unfortunate news that wide receivers Darius Slayton and Bryce Ford-Wheaton are unlikely to travel and will subsequently miss Sunday’s game against Carolina.

On the flip side of that coin, both kicker Graham Gano and punter Jamie Gillan continue to progress and are likely to suit up in Week 10. Gillan is all but guaranteed to play and Daboll says Gano has a strong chance.

The coach also revealed that offensive lineman Greg Van Roten should be “OK” to play on Sunday.

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

Did not participate: WR Darius Slayton (concussion), WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles), OL Chris Hubbard (illness)

Limited participant: K Graham Gano (hamstring), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), TE Theo Johnson (knee/back), LB Ty Summers (ankle), NT Dexter Lawrence (NIR), OL Greg Van Roten (shoulder), LB Matthew Adams (calf), S Jason Pinnock (abdomen), LB Darius Muasau (hamstring)

Giants injury report: Graham Gano designated to return from IR

The New York Giants have designated kicker Graham Gano to return from IR, while WR Darius Slayton’s Week 10 availability looks grim.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers at Allianz
Arena in Munich, Germany.

Before heading out into the Spring-like weather, head coach Brian Daboll informed reporters that kicker Graham Gano had his practice window opened and suggested there’s a chance he would play on Sunday.

The news wasn’t nearly as positive for wide receiver Darius Slayton, who remains in concussion protocol and is behind where running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. was a week ago. Daboll said Slayton may not travel to Germany with the team.

“Not there yet. He could possibly not travel. We’ll see where he’s at,” Daboll told reporters. “That hasn’t been decided yet, but if he’s not progressing where he needs to progress, there’s a chance we could not travel him.”

Daboll also revealed that wide receiver and special teams ace, Bryce Ford-Wheaton, remains out with an Achilles injury.

Finally, punter Matt Haack, who had his contract terminated on Tuesday, has been signed to the practice squad. Cornerback Art Green has been signed from the reserve unit to the 53-man roster.

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

Did not participate: WR Darius Slayton (concussion), WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles), OL Greg Van Roten (shoulder), NT Dexter Lawrence (NIR)

Limited participant: K Graham Gano (hamstring), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), TE Theo Johnson (knee/back), LB Ty Summers (ankle)

Giants release punter Matt Haack, add OL Bryan Hudson to practice squad

The New York Giants have terminated the contract of punter Matt Haack and signed offensive lineman Bryan Hudson to their practice squad.

During his first press conference of Week 10, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll intimated that kicker Graham Gano and punter Jamie Gillan could return as soon as Sunday’s game in Germany.

“I still have to meet with our medical guys, but I think Graham is getting close. How close he is right now, I think we’ll know here in the next couple days,” Daboll said on Monday.

“I think that (Gillan) progressed well. We’ll see here (on Tuesday) or Wednesday where he’s at. I think he has a chance.”

While the jury is still out on Gano, the Giants made it abundantly clear on Tuesday that Gillan is back.

Shortly after releasing cornerback Nick McCloud for salary cap purposes, the Giants quietly terminated the contract of punter Matt Haack, who had served as Gillan’s replacement.

In four games this season, Haack punted the ball 21 times for 988 yards (47.0 y/p) with an average net yards per punt of 39.0. He downed nine punts inside the 20-yard line and had just one touchback.

The Giants are also signing undrafted rookie offensive lineman Bryan Hudson to their practice squad, reports Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic.

Giants’ Graham Gano, Jamie Gillan close to returning

The New York Giants are close to getting both kicker Graham Gano and punter Jamie Gillan back on the field.

The New York Giants have been without kicker Graham Gano since he suffered a hamstring injury on the opening kickoff in a Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Since then, they’ve used both Greg Joseph, who is now on injured reserve (IR) with an abdomen issue, and the Irish-born Jude McAtamney.

But that hasn’t been the only hit on special teams.

The Giants have also been without punter Jamie Gillan since Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks after he suffered a hamstring injury. Although he wasn’t placed on IR, the team has ruled him out in four consecutive games.

Matt Haack has served as Gillan’s replacement.

While Joseph, McAtamney, and Haack have played admirably, the Giants could be getting both Gano and Gillan back as early as this week.

“I still have to meet with our medical guys, but I think Graham is getting close. How close he is right now, I think we’ll know here in the next couple days,” head coach Brian Daboll said on Monday.

“I think that (Gillan) progressed well. We’ll see here (on Tuesday) or Wednesday where he’s at. I think he has a chance.”

The Giants are off on Tuesday but will conduct practices on both Wednesday and Thursday before flying to Germany on Thursday night. They will hold a final practice on Friday and then release their injury report. If both players travel, it’s a good indication they will be active.

Gillan will receive a designation on Friday but Gano would have to be activated from IR first.

Giants’ Greg Joseph, Jamie Gillan out vs. Commanders

The New York Giants will be without kicker Greg Joseph and punter Jamie Gillan in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders.

The New York Giants wrapped up their week of practice on Friday afternoon in East Rutherford and things ended on a better note than they started.

Despite a massive injury report that grew throughout the week, every player participated in practice on Friday with the exception of punter Jamie Gillan and kicker Greg Joseph.

Gillan was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders before the team even took the field.

Joseph was a new addition to the injury report and with veteran Graham Gano on IR, the Giants will have to add a new kicker over the next 48 hours.

Meanwhile, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. cleared concussion protocol, and head coach Brian Daboll said he would play in Week 9.

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

New York Giants

Out: P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), K Greg Joseph (abdomen)

Doubtful: WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles)

Questionable: LB Ty Summers (ankle)

Washington Commanders

Out: OL Cornelius Lucas (ankle)

Doubtful: None

Questionable: RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring)

Giants injury report: Tyrone Tracy Jr. advances in concussion protocol

New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. advanced in concussion protocol and has a chance to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

The New York Giants took the field on Thursday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 9 game against the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium.

Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll delivered a positive injury update, revealing that all but two players — punter Jamie Gillan and wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton — would return to practice.

Daboll also stated that rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. advanced in concussion protocol and would wear the red non-contact jersey.

“Trending in the right direction,” Daboll said.

In further good news, Daboll said there’s a strong chance veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson returns for Sunday’s game against Washington barring a setback.

“Good to go,” he said of Jackson

Did not participate: P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles)

Giants injury report: Tyrone Tracy Jr. in concussion protocol

New York Giants rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in the “early stages” of concussion protocol and may not be available in Week 9 vs. Washington.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 9 game against the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

On short rest, the Giants had a lengthy injury report with several veterans and stars sitting out, including nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Head coach Brian Daboll revealed that Tracy, who left Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, was in the “early stages” of concussion protocol. He is 50-50 to play against the Commanders.

Lawrence, who has been battling a hip injury for most of the season, was given a veteran rest day.

Meanwhile, offensive tackle Joshua Ezeudu had his knee drained and missed practice, paving the way for veteran Chris Hubbard to start at left tackle for the second consecutive week.

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

Did not participate: RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), OL Joshua Ezeudu (knee), WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles), WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle), LB Matthew Adams (knee)

Limited participant: LB Brian Burns (groin/biceps), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), OL Jermaine Eluemunor (hip), CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin), CB Tre Hawkins (groin), OL Jake Kubas (abdomen), OL John Michael Schmitz (calf), LB Ty Summers (ankle)

Giants’ Jamie Gillan out, Jermaine Eluemunor questionable vs. Steelers

The New York Giants have ruled three players out, including punter Jamie Gillan, one as doubtful and OL Jermaine Eluemunor as questionable.

The New York Giants wrapped up their week of practice on Saturday afternoon in East Rutherford and despite some players taking a step forward, the team will be shorthanded against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.

The good news is that linebacker Brian Burns (groin/Achilles), who is as tough as they come, returned to the field and head coach Brian Daboll indicated he will play in Week 8.

Daboll also expressed optimism that right tackle Jermaine Elueminor would suit up on Monday night despite missing his second straight day of practice.

“He did a walkthrough. I think he’ll be okay. But I can’t guarantee it,” Daboll said.

But that’s about where the good news ended and the bad news began.

Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson will not play again this week and the Giants could also be without several of his counterparts, Tre Hawkins and Cor’Dale Flott.

“He’s still got the neck. I don’t think he’ll make it,” Daboll said. “The other two guys, not sure if they will.”

Punter Jamie Gillan will also sit this one out.

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

New York Giants

Out: P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), LB Ty Summers (ankle)

Doubtful: CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin)

Questionable: CB Tre Hawkins (ankle), OL Jermaine Eluemunor (hip)

Pittsburgh Steelers

Out: WR Roman Wilson (hamstring), OL Dylan Cook (foot), OL Zach Frazier (ankle), LB Nick Herbig (hamstring), LB Tyler Matakevich (hamstring)

Doubtful: WR/KR Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle)

Questionable: None

Giants injury report: Jermaine Eluemunor misses practice

The New York Giants have added right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (groin) to the injury report after not practicing on Friday.

The New York Giants took the field on Friday for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 8 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

Beforehand, head coach Brian Daboll delivered some unfortunate injury news and revealed that right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor would not participate as the result of a groin injury.

Although Daboll wouldn’t rule Eluemunor out for Monday night, embattled offensive tackle Evan Neal stepped in and assumed first-team reps on the right side.

Joshua Ezeudu continues taking first-team reps at left tackle.

“Hopeful,” Daboll said when asked if Eluemunor would play against the Steelers.

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

Did not participate: LB Brian Burns (groin/Achilles), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), LB Ty Summers (hamstring/ankle), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), OL Jermaine Eluemunor (hip)

Limited participant: NT Dexter Lawrence (hip), CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin), CB Tre Hawkins (ankle)

Full participant: WR Jalin Hyatt (ribs), WR Byrce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles)

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence, Adoree’ Jackson not practicing

New York Giants nose tackle Dexter Lawrence (hip) was among four players who missed practice on Thursday afternoon.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday afternoon in preparation for a Week 8 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Despite the extra day off, head coach Brian Daboll delivered some unfortunate injury news before players took the field. Of note, nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and cornerback Cor’Dale Flott were sidelined.

Although Lawrence was getting more of a rest day, Daboll said Flott would not practice until at least Friday but more than likely, will sit out on Monday Night Football.

“I wouldn’t be able to say week to week. We’ll see where he is tomorrow,” he said. “Probably, I don’t know if he’d be able to make it this week, but I’m not going to rule him out because he hasn’t been ruled out to me.”

With Adoree’ Jackson still sidelined, that created an uphill climb for the Giants.

Meanwhile, punter Jamie Gillan, who has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, took a step forward in his recovery and worked with trainers on the side.

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

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hip), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin), LB Ty Summers (hamstring/ankle), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring), CB Tre Hawkins (ankle)

Limited participant: LB Brian Burns (groin), WR Byrce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles)

Full participant: WR Jalin Hyatt (ribs)
