Giants punch playoff ticket with dominant 38-10 victory over Colts

The New York Giants completely dismantled the Indianapolis Colts, 38-10, in Week 17 and punched their first NFC playoff ticket since 2016.

The New York Giants entered Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts knowing a win would punch their first ticket to the playoffs since 2016. They also knew there was some wiggle room if other games went their way.

But they left nothing up to chance.

In their most dominant performance of the last several years, the Giants completely dismantled the Colts from the opening whistle to the final whistle.

Quarterback Daniel Jones led the way with the most inspired performance of his entire career. He would not be denied and accounted for 268 total yards and four touchdowns.

The MetLife Stadium crowd went ballistic for 60 full minutes and were rewarded with the statement performance the organization desperately needed.

With the win, the Giants improve to 9-6-1 on the season, secure the No. 6 seed in the NFC Playoffs, and will finish with an above .500 record.

Giants injury report: Jihad Ward in concussion protocol

The New York Giants had 7 players sit out of practice on Wednesday, including LB Jihad Ward (concussion), while 4 others were limited.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday in preparation for a Week 15 game against the Washington Commanders.

In what is an undeniably must-win game, the Giants could use as many healthy bodies as possible. Unfortunately for them, there were quite a few banged-up players in a Sunday loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and the status of players such as Adoree’ Jackson remains very much up in the air.

Safety Xavier McKinney (hand) has already been ruled out for Sunday night and linebacker Jihad Ward is a new addition to the injury report.

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

Did not participate: OL Joshua Ezeudu (neck), CB Adoree’ Jackson (knee), OL Shane Lemieux (toe), WR Richie James Jr. (concussion), LB Jihad Ward (concussion), S Julian Love (rest), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest)

Limited participant: DB Nick McCloud (illness), DE Leonard Williams (neck), TE Daniel Bellinger (ribs), LB Elerson Smith (Achilles)

Full participant: LB Micah McFadden (neck/ankle)

Giants’ Richie James in concussion protocol and other injury updates

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll offers injury updates on several players as the list of walking wounded continues to grow.

The New York Giants were already one of the NFL’s most-injured teams entering a Week 14 game against the Philadelphia Eagles and that only got worse over those four quarters.

Several players were forced to exit due to injury and the team is now operating on fumes.

“I think that’s what happens to every team if you take a look around the league. So, we make no excuses,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Monday.

Daboll also offered injury updates on nearly 10 players and many were not optimistic in nature.
