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.

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

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:

“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.

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)

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.

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:
