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)

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones among 8 missing practice

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) headed a massive list of injured players who were unable to practice on Wednesday.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of a Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park and all eyes were on quarterback Daniel Jones.

Despite head coach Brian Daboll expressing optimism that Jones could play on Sunday, and DJ sharing similar sentiments, the news was anything but positive.

Jones was unable to practice because his neck was “more sore” than the day prior. Compounding matters, multiple other players also missed practice due to injury, including offensive linemen Andrew Thomas, Matt Peart and John Michael Schmitz, wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, tight end Darren Waller and linebacker Azeez Ojulari.

In total, the Giants were able to field just six offensive linemen from their 53-man roster during Wednesday’s practice.

The Giants’ full Wednesday 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), LB Micah McFadden (ankle), TE Darren Waller (groin), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee/rest)

Limited participant: DB Deonte Banks (ankle), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), DB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle), OL Shane Lemieux (groin), OL Marcus McKethan (knee)

Giants injury report: Andrew Thomas, Azeez Ojulari limited

New York Giants LT Andrew Thomas and LB Azeez Ojulari were limited on Thursday and their status for Sunday’s game is up in the air.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday following a scary scene the day prior. Practice squad cornerback Amani Oruwariye was injured on a kickoff drill and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

Thankfully, Oruwariye was back at team facilities for the team’s second practice of the week and had full function in his extremities.

Meanwhile, left tackle Andrew Thomas and right end Darren Waller each returned to practice.

The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Sterling Shepard (rest)

Limited participant: OL Andrew Thomas (hamstring), K Graham Gano (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Deonte Banks (calf), LB Cam Brown (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (hamstring), LB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), S Gervarrius Owens (hamstring), OL Matt Peart (elbow), TE Darren Waller (hamstring/rest)

Giants injury report: Andrew Thomas, Darren Waller don’t practice

New York Giants LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring) and TE Darren Waller (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday while other injuries piled up.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of the Week 2 game against the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale.

After their opening week debacle that included several concerning injuries, all eyes were on left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring) and his backup, Matt Peart.

The bad news is that Thomas didn’t practice. The good news is that head coach Brian Daboll says the left tackle is “day to day,” while Thomas said the injury is manageable.

The other bad news is that practice squad cornerback Amani Oruwariye suffered a terrifying injury on Wednesday and had to be taken to a local hospital after being immobilized and carted off the field.

The Giants’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: OL Andrew Thomas (hamstring), TE Darren Waller (hamstring/rest)

Limited participant: K Graham Gano (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Deonte Banks (calf), LB Cam Brown (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (hamstring), LB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), S Gervarrius Owens (hamstring), OL Matt Peart (elbow)

Giants’ Matt Peart goes for MRI as injuries at tackle mount

New York Giants OT Matt Peart joined LT Andrew Thomas in the MRI room on Monday as injuries begin to mount at the position.

The New York Giants spent Monday linking their wounds after getting blown out, 40-0, by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

“There were a few things you can build on but when you get beat like the way we got beat, no excuses,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters. “I’d say there’s a lot of work that needs to be done, a lot of corrections that need to be made and that’s what we’ll do today.”

The insult was accompanied by injury, most notably at left tackle, where starter Andrew Thomas and his primary backup, Matt Peart, both left the game with leg injuries.

Daboll said he would have the results on Thomas on Wednesday and that Peart was still being evaluated.

Other than those two, Daboll said the team “came out fairly clean” injury-wise and added that rookie cornerback Deonte Banks, who left the game with cramps, was “heading in the right direction.”

Should Thomas and Peart be unavailable for Sunday’s game in Arizona, the next man up at left tackle is Joshua Ezeudu. The second-year lineman out of North Carolina is a versatile player who can play all over the line but asking him to start at left tackle could be reaching a bit.

Stock up, down after Giants’ 32-24 preseason loss to Jets

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ loss to the New York Jets in Week 3 of the preseason?

The New York Giants closed out their preseason with an injury-riddled 32-24 loss to the New York Jets on Saturday night.

The game itself — and the injuries — were overshadowed by the Jets debut of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who got into it with Giants linebacker Jihad Ward at one point. Both refused to talk about the incident after the game.

For several players, it was their final opportunity to earn a spot on the 53-man roster and, potentially, the final game of their career. Others played hard and opened eyes, potentially earning them a roster spot — either with the Giants or elsewhere.

Whose stock is up and whose is down after the preseason loss? Let’s take a look.

Giants fall to Jets, 32-24, in Week 3 of preseason: 7 takeaways

The New York Giants fell to the New York Jets in Week 3 of the preseason and here are 7 quick takeaways from the game.

The New York Giants dropped their preseason finale to the New York Jets, 32-24, on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Here are seven takeaways from the final game of their exhibition season.

Giants-Jets preseason Week 3: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants lost their Week 3 preseason game against the Jets. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants dropped their preseason finale to the New York Jets, 32-24, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night.

The game marked the Jets on-field debut for quarterback Aaron Rodgers but the real story, at least in Giants land, will be the injuries.

The Giants saw eight players go down to injury during the game with seven of those failing to return. It’s a situation that will have an impact on the team’s cuts next week.

There’s a lot to break down and a lot to go over but before we look ahead, let’s look back. Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ loss.

Offensive snaps: 74
Defensive snaps: 59
Special teams snaps: 30

Offensive lineman Korey Cunningham and cornerback Amani Oruwariye took the full load of snaps, which tells you the Giants wanted to get one last long look. Ditto offensive tackle Matt Peart.

Linebacker Oshane Ximines also saw a significant amount of playing time and that may call into question his future with the team. Of course, the Giants were also running low on numbers due to injury and that obviously factored in.

Wide receiver Sterling Shepard seeing time on special teams is also curious.

Studs and duds from Giants’ preseason loss vs. Jets

The New York Giants fell to the New York Jets, 32-24, on Saturday night and here’s a look at the studs and duds from the game.

The New York Giants closed out their preseason on Saturday night with a 32-24 loss to the New York Jets, but that’s not the story of the night.

With reserves heavily featured and fighting for roster spots, the Giants saw seven players fall to injury. The vast majority of those didn’t return and a couple looked severe.

How that influences the team’s decisions on Tuesday remains to be seen but it will likely result in some waiver claims.

As far as the game itself, it was a typical late-preseason contest with more bad football than good.

Here is a look at several studs and duds (and studly duds) from Saturday night’s preseason loss.
