Giants injury report: 7 players limited in practice

The New York Giants listed seven players as limited in practice on Thursday and 13 on the total report.

The New York Giants returned to the field on Thursday for their first full practice ahead of a Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams — one day removed from a walkthrough.

The injury report was lengthy to open the week and that trend continued 24 hours later.

While everyone practiced on at least a limited basis, several key players remained limited — seven in total with 13 players listed on the official injury report.

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

Did not participate: N/A

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence, 4 others miss practice

New York Giants coach Brian Daboll said everyone would participate on Wednesday but five players, including Sexy Dexy, ended up sitting out.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of a Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams at MetLife Stadium.

Because the Giants played on Christmas Day and are on a short week, head coach Brian Daboll limited the team to a walkthrough. They will conduct full practices on both Thursday and Friday.

Coming out of Monday’s game, the Giants were relatively healthy despite a few players (Darren Waller, Justin Pugh) getting banged up. Daboll said everyone would participate on at least a limited basis.

“We’re doing a walkthrough today so everybody will be participating in the walkthrough,” Daboll said.

The lie detector test determined that was a lie.

Several players sat out on Wednesday and several more were limited, including punter Jamie Gillan, who suffered a groin injury two weeks ago and a knee injury in the Giants’ loss to Philadelphia.

“We’ll see tomorrow but trending in the right direction,” Daboll said of Gillan.

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

Did not participate: CB Detone Banks (shoulder), TE Lawrence Cager (groin), NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DT A’Shawn Robinson (back), DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee)

Limited participant: RB Saquon Barkley (elbow), OL Ben Bredeson (quad), P Jamie Gillan (groin/knee), CB Adoree’ Jackson (ankle), OL Justin Pugh (elbow), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (quad), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), TE Darren Waller (knee)

Full participant: N/A

Giants’ Evan Neal, Rakeem Nunez-Roches out vs. Eagles

The New York Giants have ruled OL Evan Neal and DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches out against the Eagles, listing four others as questionable.

The New York Giants closed out their practice slate on Saturday afternoon, wrapping up their third session in four days.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who is nursing a hamstring injury, returned to the field and told reporters he intends to play on Monday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Head coach Brian Daboll expressed similar optimism for veteran defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson.

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

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence continues to miss practice

New York Giants NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) was a projected non-participant in practice on Friday and was joined by three others.

The New York Giants enjoyed an off day on Friday with their final practice scheduled for Saturday ahead of a Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

With most players away from team facilities, that meant little change in terms of injury status. However, the Giants still moved forward with a projected injury report.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was a projected non-participant due to a hamstring issue that has plagued him for several weeks.

“He’s still working through his hamstring,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters this week.

Even with an extra day off this week, Sexy Dexy seems unlikely to suit up on Monday afternoon against the Eagles.

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

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

Limited participant: DT A’Shawn Robinson (back), RB Matt Breida (hamstring), LB Carter Coughlin (neck), P Jamie Gillan (groin), S Xavier McKinney (illness)

Full participant: OL Justin Pugh (calf/neck), TE Darren Waller (hamstring), RB Gary Brightwell (hamstring), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

The New York Giants have released their official Thursday injury report.

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:

Tommy DeVito magic is over as Giants fall to Saints, 24-6

The Tommy DeVito magic ended on Sunday, through little fault of his own, as the New York Giants fell to the New Orleans Saints, 24-6.

The New York Giants traveled down to The Big Easy to face the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday in a matchup of two teams attempting to keep their postseason hopes alive.

The Giants came into the game riding a three-game winning streak while the Saints are coming off a 28-6 win in Week 14 over Carolina that stopped a three-game losing streak.

Here’s how things went…

Giants-Packers Week 14: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants won their Week 14 game against the Green Bay Packers. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants stunned the Green Bay Packers on Monday night, snapping their long-standing primetime curse with a game-winning field goal as time expired.

Rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito delivered his magic yet again, hitting wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson with under 2:00 remaining in the fourth quarter on the biggest play of the game.

With the win, the Giants improve to 5-8 on the season and their three-game winning streak now has them just a single game back in the NFC Playoff hunt.

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ most recent win.

Offensive snaps: 56
Defensive snaps: 68
Special teams snaps: 27

One year removed from ACL surgery (almost to the day), wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson played 44 offensive snaps and arguably had the most impactful game of his career. The 180 from where he was a year ago is remarkable and the youngster deserves his due.

Despite the struggles of both Cor’Dale Flott and Darnay Holmes, rookie cornerback Tre Hawkins did not take a single defensive snap on Monday.

Meanwhile, defensive linemen A’Shawn Robinson and Rakeem Nunez-Roches, who sports an interesting helmet design, continue to split snaps in the post-Leonard Williams world.

Stock up, down after Giants’ 10-7 win over Patriots

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 12?

The New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots, 10-7, in an ugly and raining game at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon, improving their record to 4-8 on the season.

It’s now back-to-back wins for the Giants as they head into their bye week and while it hasn’t been pretty, it has been a nice change of pace from the 1-7 stretch they had been on prior to Week 11.

Whose stock is up and whose is down after the Week 12 win? Let’s take a look.

How the Giants can replace DL Leonard Williams

The New York Giants need to replace Leonard Williams after trading him away on Monday and they have several in-house options.

The New York Giants traded veteran defensive lineman Leonard Williams to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday in a move that was somewhat expected given Williams’ contract status.

The Giants didn’t get much cap relief as a result of the trade. In fact, they got very little. It is estimated they will only clear $647K of cap space by moving Williams.

They did, however, get a 2024 second-round and 2025 fifth-rounder in the process, so the trade appears worth it. They’re going nowhere this year and Williams is not in their long-term plans. This was a good deal for the Giants.

Who will replace Williams in the defensive line rotation is now the remaining question.

Dexter Lawrence has played 72 percent of the defense snaps followed by Williams at 70 percent, Rakeem Nunez-Roches (34 percent), and A’Shawn Robinson (33 percent).

D.J. Davidson has played 15 percent and rookie Jordon Riley only four percent. Riley has been a healthy scratch most of the season, only dressing for two games. He’s highly regarded by the team and this could be his big break.

It would make sense that Nacho (Nunez-Roches) and Robinson get a small bump in snaps but the real solution will likely come from the Oregon two — Davidson and Riley.

The Giants also have Ryder Anderson on the practice squad. Anderson was a final cut in trying camp this summer.

Stock up, down after Giants’ 14-9 loss to Bills

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ Sunday night loss to the Buffalo Bills?

The New York Giants avoided humiliation on Sunday Night Football, battling the Buffalo Bills for four full quarters before being sent home with a 14-9 loss.

The defeat falls squarely on the Giants’ shoulders after failing to score from the 1-yard line in the final seconds of each half. Those mistakes, highlighted by a major mental error courtesy of Tyrod Taylor, were too much to overcome.

There were still quite a few positives but before we look at those, let’s reflect a bit.
