Giants injury report: Daniel Jones remains sidelined

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones again sat out of practice on Thursday and seems unlikely to play against the Seattle Seahawks.

The New York Giants were back on the practice field on Thursday and, somewhat surprisingly, quarterback Daniel Jones re-joined teammates.

Less than a week after suffering a hamstring injury against the Cincinnati Bengals and one day removed from missing practice entirely, Jones was back on the field and doing some work.

However, Jones still did not participate during the team portion of practice.

“Yeah, so we had positive reports on him yesterday,” head coach Joe Judge told reporters. “Obviously, we have to kind of see a little bit more from him today. The plan is to get him out there with the trainers, move him around a little bit, throw a little bit, see where that progresses to and what that allows him to do later in practice today or maybe what that shows what we can do with him tomorrow.”

Rookie linebacker Cam Brown also sat out of practice with an illness.

The remainder of the team’s official injury report was unchanged from Wednesday.

Did not participate: QB Daniel Jones (hamstring), LB Cam Brown (illness)

Limited participant: DB Nate Ebner (knee), LB David Mayo (knee), WR Sterling Shepard (toe/shoulder) and WR Darius Slayton (shoulder/foot).

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones sits, Darius Slayton limited

The New York Giants returned to practice on Wednesday without QB Daniel Jones and with WR Darius Slayton limited.

The New York Giants returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time as NFC East leaders. However, that was an afterthought as players took the field in preparation for a Week 13 battle against the Seattle Seahawks.

After suffering a hamstring injury in a Week 12 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, all eyes were on second-year quarterbacks Daniel Jones.

“We’re waiting to hear a lot of feed back from trainers,” head coach Joe Judge told reporters. “So we’ll see what he’s able to do.”

Unsurprisingly, Jones was not participating in the portion of practice open to the media and expectations were that he’d work with trainers on the side at most.

In addition to Jones, linebacker David Mayo and safety Nate Ebner also appeared to be limited to side work on Wednesday. Ditto wide receiver Darius Slayton, who Judge admitted was “playing through some stuff” in Week 12.

The New York Giants defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 19-17, at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday in a game that could’ve gotten away from them but didn’t.

Here are six takeaways from a Week 12 victory that put the Giants into first place in the NFC East.

Giants-Bengals Week 12: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants won their Week 12 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants took over first place in the NFC East on Sunday with a 19-17 defeat of the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium. Unfortunately, they lost quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) in the process.

The game itself wasn’t exactly a thing of beauty, but it’s better to win ugly than it is to lose pretty. And after starting the season 0-5, the Giants have now gone 4-2 over their past six games.

Here’s a look at the snap counts that attributed to the Giants’ latest W

Offensive snaps: 81
Defensive snaps: 49
Special teams snaps: 29

With Matt Peart out due to COVID-19, the Giants ceased their tackle rotation, resulting in Andrew Thomas and Cam Fleming seeing 100% of all offensive snaps. At guard, former starter Will Hernandez saw just 23 snaps to Shane Lemieux’s 57.

We also love seeing fullback Eli Penny get more field time.

Defensively, Niko Lalos took just eight snaps in his NFL debut but somehow came up with an interception. What a story. We’ll have more on that later.

And Nate Ebner, of course, suffered an injury on Cincinnati’s opening kick return and was unable to make it back to the field. He finished the game with a season-low one snap.

Giants take NFC East lead with win over Bengals, but lose Daniel Jones

The New York Giants took over the NFC East lead with a 19-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, but lost QB Daniel Jones in the process.

The New York Giants entered Week 12 with an opportunity to take over the NFC East lead with the Philadelphia Eagles playing on Monday night. All they had to do was defeat the lowly Cincinnati Bengals, whom they were heavily favorited over.

The Giants, however, never make anything easy.

From start to finish, Sunday was an ugly game by both sides, highlighted by penalties, drops, miscues and above all else, devastating injuries.

Second-year quarterback Daniel Jones exited the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury, ushering in Colt McCoy, who was about as rusty as you might expect.

Things really slowed down from there and, like most Giants games this season, came down to the final moments. In the end, New York made the plays necessary to hang on (barely) and left Ohio with a defining victory.

Giants-Eagles Week 7: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants lost their Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants lost in crushing and heartbreaking fashion on Thursday night, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles, 22-21. at Lincoln Financial Field.

For a team that hast lost so frequently in recent years, you would think the organization and fan base would be numb. But this one is going to sting and it’s going to sting for quite some time.

Here’s a look at the snap counts that attributed to the Giants’ sixth loss of the season.

Offensive snaps: 60
Defensive snaps: 81
Special teams snaps: 26

Sterling Shepard saw an impressive 46 snaps in his return, which dwarfed all other receivers not named Darius Slayton, while rookie offensive tackle Matt Peart took just six snaps after registering 25-plus in Week 6.

On the defensive side of the ball, injuries forced linebacker Devante Downs and safety Nate Ebner into increased roles. Cornerback Corey Ballentine and defensive back Madre Harper also saw between 21-30% of the defensive snaps, which did not play out well.

Giants-Cowboys Week 5: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants lost their Week 5 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 37-34, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Sunday, dropping their record to 0-5 on the season and potentially putting jobs on the line.

For the fourth time this season, the Giants battled and had a chance to walk away with a win, but simply couldn’t make the plays they needed to in the end.

Here’s a look at the snap counts that attributed to their latest loss.

Offensive snaps: 68
Defensive snaps: 66
Special teams snaps: 34

Cornerback Ryan Lewis has completely taken over as No. 2 alongside James Bradberry, seeing the field on 97% of all defensive snaps. By contrast, Corey Ballentine didn’t take a single defensive snap in Week 5. Ditto Isaac Yiadom.

Unfortunately, safety Nate Ebner and linebacker Devante Downs took two defensive snaps each, and wouldn’t you know it, the Cowboys scored a touchdown on one of those plays.

Meanwhile, defensive back Adrian Colbert, who had two terrible personal foul penalties called against him, out-snapped Jabrill Peppers 50 to 23. That would seem to indicate that Peppers is not fully back from his ankle injury just yet.

Giants’ Jabrill Peppers ‘day-to-day’ with low ankle sprain

New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers is considered “day-to-day” with a low ankle sprain.

New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers exited Sunday’s 36-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers with what appeared to be a potentially serious ankle injury.

During a first half field goal attempt, Peppers had his legs rolled up on and he went down in a heap. The 24-year-old writhed in pain as trainers rushed to his side.

Peppers eventually managed to walk off the field and was then seen attempting to jog on the sidelines before being whisked away to the locker room, where he would remain for the rest of the game.

On Monday, reports surfaced that Peppers’ injury wasn’t as bad as it initially appeared and that he had merely suffered a low-ankle sprain, which was good news for the Giants comparatively.

Head coach Joe Judge essentially confirmed those reports during his afternoon Zoom conference with reporters, adding that Peppers is “day-to-day” and that tests are still ongoing.

“Jabrill, I don’t have a timetable on him for anything. We’re going to evaluate him day to day. We’ll see where he is. He had that lower leg. They’re going through a couple more things with the doctor this afternoon, but it looks like it could go either way at this point right here,” Judge said.

In Peppers’ absence, second-year defensive back Julian Love and veteran Nate Ebner stepped in. Love played relatively well, but Ebner remains a liability on every defensive snap he takes.

Giants-49ers Week 3: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants lost their Week 3 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants fell to the San Francisco 49ers, 36-9, at MetLife Stadium in Week 3, dropping their record to 0-3 for the first time since 2017.

The bigger story from the game is that patience appears to be running out for quarterback Daniel Jones, while time appears to be running out for general manager Dave Gettleman.

As far as the latest loss, here’s a look at the snap counts that attributed to it.

Offensive snaps: 52
Defensive snaps: 77
Special teams snaps: 25

The balance of snaps between running backs Dion Lewis, Wayne Gallman and Devonta Freeman was interesting, especially given how little time Freeman had to prepare for Sunday’s game. Unfortunately, they were all as ineffective as the other. And given the team’s struggles on the ground, it’s curious to see fullback Eli Penny receiving just two offensive snaps.

On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Devante Downs playing more than 70% of the team’s defensive snaps is a recipe for disaster. Nate Ebner taking more than 10 snaps isn’t a good thing, either.

But credit to Logan Ryan, who has adapted quickly and is not taking 100% of the defensive snaps.

Giants-Bears Week 2: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants lost their Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants fell to the Chicago Bears, 17-13, at Solider Field in Week 2, dropping their record to 0-2 for the fourth straight season and the seventh time in the last eight years.

The bigger story from the game is that running back Saquon Barkley suffered an apparent ACL injury and could be out for the season.

As far as the latest loss, here’s a look at the snap counts that attributed to it.

Offensive snaps: 65
Defensive snaps: 65
Special teams snaps: 22

Both Corey Ballentine and Isaac Yaidom struggled on Sunday, but it’s noteworthy to see the latter now overtaking the former in snaps. It’s also worthy of pointing out that Logan Ryan out-snapped Darnay Holmes.

Now, as far as the obvious: what the heck is Nate Ebner doing on the field so much defensively? He played a grand total of one defensive snap in his final three years in New England, but suddenly he’s getting time on the field for the Giants? That’s a very questionable decision at best and in his five snaps, he surrendered a touchdown.

Markus Golden also taking just 15 defensive snaps is curious.
