The Giants are banged up, and just moments after the final practice of the week, head coach Brian Daboll announced that offensive guard Jon Runyan (ankle), linebacker Bobby Okereke (back), and defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) are out for Sunday’s home game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Cornerback Dru Phillips (shoulder) is doubtful, while quarterback Drew Lock (heel/left elbow) is out of the walking boot and has a chance to be the emergency 3rd quarterback.

The Giants have been decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball this season. The latest starter to land on injured reserve is safety Tyler Nubin after he suffered an ankle injury during the team’s Week 14 loss. With only four games remaining, Nubin’s rookie campaign has come to an end after 13 games.
The Giants also added four players to their practice squad: quarterback Tim Boyle, who was released on Saturday, two weeks after he was signed; defensive tackle Ross Blacklock; cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe, who played in six games for the 2023 Kansas City Chiefs, and cornerback Azizi Hearn, who has never played in an NFL regular-season game.
The Giants have won the last three home games against the Ravens dating back to 2008, and the home team has won each of the previous six contests between the two teams.
