Giants injury report: Gary Brightwell, Richie James sit out practice

The New York Giants are trending in a more healthy direction but still saw two additions to their injury report on Wednesday.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday after going with full pads on Tuesday. And for the second straight day, offensive linemen Shane Lemieux and Joshua Ezeudu were not practicing. They were joined on the side by cornerback Adoree’ Jackson.

Return specialists Gary Brightwell and Richie James were also added to the injury report.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that linebacker Azeez Ojulari, right tackle Evan Neal, tight end Daniel Bellinger and several others are all trending in the right direction. In fact, the Giants could see the return of between five and seven starters in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders.

The Giants’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: OL Joshua Ezeudu (neck), CB Adoree’ Jackson (knee), OL Shane Lemieux (toe), RB Gary Brightwell (illness), WR Richie James (knee)

Giants fall to Cowboys: Winners, losers and those in between

The New York Giants fell to the Cowboys, 28-20, in Week 12 and here’s a look at our winners and losers (and those in between) from the game.

The New York Giants fell to 7-4 on the season with a 28-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. It wasn’t as ugly as some anticipated, but it wasn’t necessarily pretty, either.

The Giants blew an early second half lead and couldn’t seem to get anything going again until it was too late. In a game of inches, they came up a few short entirely too many times.

The opportunities were there but Brian Daboll’s group just couldn’t capitalize.

Here’s some winners, losers and in-betweens from Thursday’s loss.
