Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence continues to miss practice

New York Giants NT Dexter Lawrence missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury.

The New York Giants held a brief practice on Thursday morning before players and staff were permitted to leave early and attend their respective Thanksgiving celebrations.

“We’ll bump it up a little bit,” head coach Brian Daboll said of Thursday’s practice. “I talked to the captains last week relative to how they wanted to approach the week, if they wanted to push it up and practice on Tuesday, give them off on Thursday.

“They wanted to keep it a normal week. So, we’ll push up the time that we start, and then they’ll get out a little bit earlier than they would. Fairly normal.”

East Rutherford facilities were closed to the media, so there were no press conferences or Zoom calls held, while practice was closed.

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

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), OL Evan Neal (ankle)

Limited participant: WR Darius Slayton (neck), LB Bobby Okereke (rib/hip), DL A’Shawn Robinson (back), CB Tre Hawkins (shoulder)

Full participant: OL John Michael Schmitz (finger), RB Saquon Barkley (rest), LT Andrew Thomas (knee), RB Eric Gray (ankle), OL Tyre Phillips (knee), WR Sterling Shepard (hip), CB Adoree’ Jackson (concussion), S Bobby McCain (illness)

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

The New York Giants won their Week 7 game against the Washington Commanders. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants, led by a dominant defensive performance, upended the Washington Commanders, 14-7, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday.

The win not only snapped a four-game losing streak but also keeps Big Blue’s slim (and fading) playoff hopes alive with an easier schedule up ahead.

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

Offensive snaps: 68
Defensive snaps: 69
Special teams snaps: 29

Wide receiver Parris Campbell no longer seems to have a role for the Giants. He took just four offensive snaps (six overall) in Week 7 and is trending in the wrong direction. Given the team’s issues at punt returner, perhaps they could try him there?

With cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (neck) out, rookie Tre Hawkins was thrust back into a larger role, taking 59 defensive snaps (62 overall). He played admirably but did miss what would have been an easy interception.

Punter Jamie Gillan getting 11 snaps is entirely too much. That means punts and field goals, which normally don’t equate to wins in the NFL.

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones remains limited

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) remains limited in practice and is still not cleared for contract, leaving his Week 7 status in doubt.

The New York Giants were back on the practice field on Thursday and little had changed from the day prior. Quarterback Daniel Jones remains limited and was not cleared for contact.

“He’ll throw out here at practice, same as yesterday,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters. “Like I said yesterday, doctors will let me know when he’s ready to play.”

“When the doctors tell me he’s ready to play he’ll be ready to play,” Daboll repeated when asked again.

Meanwhile, offensive lineman Shane Lemieux was placed on injured reserve (IR) with a torn biceps and five other linemen were at least limited in practice.

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

Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

Limited participant: QB Daniel Jones (neck), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), K Graham Gano (knee), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), OL Evan Neal (ankle)

Full participant: RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), DL D.J. Davidson (knee), CB Tre Hawkins (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle/shoulder), OL Mark Glowinski (quad/ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee)

Giants injury report: Daniel Jones limited in return to practice

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, while LT Andrew Thomas continues to sit out.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday and so did quarterback Daniel Jones, who is still nursing a neck injury.

Although Jones is not yet cleared for contact, he was able to do some throwing and could be in play for Sunday, although that should be considered unlikely.

“He’s doing better and he’ll be out here at practice today doing some stuff. We’ll see where we’re at,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s cleared to throw so that’s what he’s going to do today.”

Asked if there’s any concern DJ misses the rest of the season, Daboll said his quarterback will “be back.”

The news wasn’t as positive for several others, including left tackle Andrew Thomas, who continues to sit out with a hamstring injury.

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

Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Evan Neal (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

Limited participant: QB Daniel Jones (neck), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle/shoulder), K Graham Gano (knee), OL Mark Glowinski (quad/ankle), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), OL Shane Lemieux (groin/biceps)

Full participant: RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), DL D.J. Davidson (knee), CB Tre Hawkins (knee)

Giants vs. Dolphins: 3 causes for concern in Week 5

The New York Giants square off in a Sunday afternoon battle against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. Here are three reasons for concern.

The New York Giants will square off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5 on the road in just their second non-prime-time game of the season.

The Giants are coming off back-to-back losses to drop to 1-3. Meanwhile, the Dolphins will be hoping to bounce back after suffering their first loss of the season at the hands of the Buffalo Bills — the same Bills team the Giants will play in Week 6 on, you guessed it, prime time.

The Giants will be heavy underdogs against Miami for obvious reasons.

Here are three causes for concern in Week 5.

Giants’ Brian Daboll has confidence in Deonte Banks, Tre Hawkins

With a game against the high-powered Seattle Seahawks looming, New York Giants coach Brian Daboll expresses a confidence in his young CBs.

The New York Giants’ young cornerbacks will have their hands full this Monday night with the Seattle Seahawks’ talented wide receiver group.

DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba are a formidable trio for any NFL secondary, never mind one that will start two rookies such as the Giants (Deonte Banks, Tre Hawkins III) will in this game.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll was asked on Saturday about the growing pains teams face when putting young players in key positions.

“That’s a good question,” Daboll said. “I’d say any young player, starting with rookies, but even second-year guys, they have to play. There’s going to be some quote-unquote growing pains at times with any young player. But I think as long as they’re improving, and you can see it at practice, they get some more familiarity in game situations.

“They’re good players. Put them into different situations. Hopefully, the next time they react to a situation, whatever that may be, they learn from it, and they’re able to execute it better than the first time that they did it. But I have a lot of confidence in our young guys. We’ll just keep on rolling along with them.”

So far this season, the Giants are allowing 19.7 receptions per game, seventh-best in the NFL, and are in the middle of the pack when it comes to passing yards allowed (223.7).

Tiki Barber: Giants showing a ‘lack of effort’

Tiki Barber believes the New York Giants lacked effort in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers and the film supports his opinion.

The New York Giants missed nearly 20 tackles against the San Francisco 49ers in a Week 3 loss and in several instances, defenders appeared to shy away from contact.

One of those glaring misses came courtesy of rookie cornerback Tre Hawkins, who whiffed so hard on 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell that the wind could be felt back in East Rutherford.

“That’s effort,” Tiki Barber said on WFAN last week. “There was one in particular, Elijah Mitchell had an outside zone run in the second quarter, and you just saw the rookie [Tre] Hawkins, he just turned it down. He didn’t even try. He tried to go low, but he barely made contact, and he clips off 18 yards and you get into scoring position. It’s effort. To me, that’s effort.

“I know cornerbacks don’t want to hit anymore. I know they don’t think they need to tackle on the edges and think they’re just there to contain and drive a guy inside. But when you’re the last line of defense, that’s an effort thing. That’s a want-to thing.”

But Hawkins wasn’t the only one. The entire defense was guilty of whiffing on tackles at one point or another.

“When someone’s running at you full speed, and he’s got some heft to him, and you know you have to hit him, you just have to hit him. That’s the game. Period,” Barber said. “That’s what you’re paid to do. If you turn it down, bad things happen, and I think that happened a lot for the Giants (Thursday).

“I hate to call guys out on effort, but that’s just what I saw. I can’t explain missed tackling other than, they just didn’t want to do it. Period.”

It’s hard to argue with Barber’s perception here. And that’s not to discredit the 49ers and some of their tough runners, but Hawkins’ miss wasn’t the only play where a Giants defender appeared to pack it in.

Linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux was also guilty.

This sort of stuff just isn’t going to fly. And it can’t if the Giants want to return to the playoffs.

Stock up, down after Giants’ 30-12 loss to 49ers

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ Thursday Night Football loss to the San Francisco 49ers?

The New York Giants dropped to 1-2 on the season following a 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Thursday night.

It was another ugly prime-time showing for the Giants, whose schedule isn’t going to let up any time soon. They now have 10 days of rest before a Week 4 battle with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

Whose stock is up and whose is down after the Week 3 loss? Let’s take a look.

Studs and duds from Giants’ Week 3 loss vs. 49ers

Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 30-12 loss for the New York Giants against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3.

The New York Giants fell to the San Francisco 49ers, 30-12, on Thursday night, dropping their record to 1-2 on the season. It was another ugly showing and the injury bug bit hard, so things look murky for the team moving forward.

There was a lot more bad than good on the night, so the next 10-plus days will be a bit rough for the Giants and their fans. National media is not going to take it easy.

Giants vs. Cowboys: 3 causes for concern in Week 1

The New York Giants square off in a Sunday night battle against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1. Here are three reasons for concern.

The New York Giants will square off against their division rival Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium on Sunday Night Football to open their season.

The Giants are hoping to start the season off with a win just as they did last year in head coach Brian Daboll’s first year as a head coach. It will be no easy task against a Cowboys team that the Giants have struggled mightily against in recent memory.

Despite the Giants’ improvements to their roster, they are currently listed as home underdogs.

As the Giants look to get off to a good start on the season, here are three causes for concern going into Sunday.
