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:

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), S Xavier McKinney (illness) DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee), OL Evan Neal (ankle), TE Lawrence Cager (groin)

Giants injury report: Gary Brightwell, Matt Peart designated to return

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.

5 Giants likely headed into their final stretch in blue

These players are likely entering their final stretch as members of the New York Giants with major personnel changes looming this offseason.

The New York Giants are barreling towards a losing season, and with general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll still working on molding the roster to fit their vision, changes are imminent this coming offseason.

Here are five Giants who aren’t likely to be back in 2024.

Giants waive RB Deon Jackson, OL Joshua Miles

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.

Giants place two on IR, make other roster moves

The New York Giants made a series of roster moves on Tuesday, impacting both their 53-man roster and their practice squad.

The New York Giants made several roster moves on Tuesday, signing veteran kick/punt returner Gunner Olszewski and outside linebacker Justin Hollins to the practice squad.

Offensive tackle Matt Peart (shoulder) and running back Eric Gray (calf) were placed on injured reserve.

In other moves, the Giants added running back Jashuan Corbin to the roster, claiming him off the Carolina Panthers practice squad and claimed running back Deon Jackson, a high school teammate of Andrew Thomas and college teammate of Daniel Jones, off waivers from Cleveland.

The moves should give the Giants a little more stability on special teams, where they have been struggling with what should be second-nature functions.

Corbin spent last season on the Giants’ practice squad after getting cut after training camp. He was elevated to the active roster for one game during the postseason and spent all summer with the team only to get cut again.

Hollins has played in 55 NFL games in his career for the Denver Broncos, Laos Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers. He won a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Rams.

Giants vs. Commanders: 5 biggest storylines for Week 7

The New York Giants face the Washington Commanders in Week 7. Here are the five biggest storylines to follow for this contest.

The New York Giants (1-5) host the Washington Commanders (3-3) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon is an NFC East matchup that could determine the direction the Giants will go the rest of the season.

Here are five storylines to follow in Week 7.

Giants’ Daniel Jones questionable, 3 out vs. Commanders in Week 7

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is questionable for a Week 7 game against the Washington Commanders and three offensive linemen are out.

The New York Giants will host the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this Sunday and will be down several key players.

Quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) is questionable but still not cleared for contact, likely meaning Tyrod Taylor will get his second start of the season.

Additionally, the offensive line will again see another combination.

“No excuses. This is the National Football League. People get hurt. You’ve got to get the next guy ready, and you’ve got to get ready to play a game,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Friday.

Meanwhile, for the Commanders, their final injury report was completely void of all names. They are as healthy as any team could be going into Week 7.

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

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)
