Giants injury report: Evan Neal returns to practice, Kayvon Thibodeaux sits

New York Giants RT Evan Neal returned to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, while LB Kayvon Thibodeaux sat out due to an illness.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of a Week 11 game against the Detroit Lions at MetLife Stadium.

On the plus side, rookie right tackle Evan Neal returned and did a little work, but he’s not expected back until a Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys at the earliest.

Meanwhile, defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence was given a veteran rest day.

The New York Giants took down the Houston Texans, 24-16, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday.

The win gives the Giants a record of 7-2 on the season, which is their best start since 2008 and eclipses their win total in each of the previous five seasons.

Here’s a glance at what interesting stats, numbers and broken records were birthed from the Week 10 win over the Texans.

  • The Giants improved to 7-2 on the season, which is their best start (through nine games) since 2008.

  • Dexter Lawrence recorded nine pressures in Week 10, the most by someone over 320 pounds since 2006.

Giants’ Sterling Shepard: Wan’Dale Robinson ‘well beyond his years’

New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard is impressed with rookie WR Wan’Dale Robinson, saying he is “well beyond his years.”

When the New York Giants selected Wan’Dale Robinson back in April, he was supposed to come in and add depth to a wide receiver core that included Kenny Golladay, 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney and Sterling Shepard.

Injuries have depleted that group significantly. Toney (prior to being traded), Golladay, Shepard and Robinson have all have missed time because of the injuries.

Shepard was, of course, lost for the year back in Week 3 after suffering a torn ACL.

Since then, the Giants have been pretty thin at wide receiver. However, following his return from injury in the last three weeks, Robinson has been a pretty solid weapon for the Giants and someone to get excited about for the future.

Following Shepard’s injury, the longest-tenured Giant has turned into Big Blue’s biggest cheerleader from the sidelines. It appears Shepard is a big believer in Robinson and thinks the rookie is well ahead of the usual NFL timeline for players.

“That’s not too much I need to tell him.” Shepard said, via the Athletic. “He’s well beyond his years, man. He’s going to be great for us.”

Robinson has stepped up to fit nicely in the slot and he may be the Giants’ long-term solution at the position if Shepard has played his last game in a Big Blue uniform.

As the Giants come off the bye and head into the second half of their season, Robinson’s role is likely to increase as the team continues to search for a spark in the passing game.

Even if Golladay is able to return soon, the Giants are likely to feature Robinson plenty as he’s showcased a trustworthy set of hands for Daniel Jones during his young career.

Fantasy football: Sleepers to play in Week 8

Check out these fantasy football sleepers for Week 8.

Though only two teams are on a bye this week, fantasy football managers will be scrambling to replace their studs in Week 8.

With the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers getting the week off, finding sleepers to fill those roles will be vital. Whether you’re looking to continue your winning ways or stay in the playoff hunt, hitting on the right sleepers can make all the difference.

We will be using The Huddle’s weekly PPR projections and rankings as a reference to find some potential boom games this week.

Here’s a look at some sleepers to play in fantasy football for Week 8:

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

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

The New York Giants battled back again on Sunday, overcoming a fourth quarter deficit to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 23-17.

The win improves the Giants’ record to 6-1 on the season and it’s within reason that playoff contention can begin to be discussed. After all, Big Blue will be one of only two six-win teams (Philadelphia Eagles) following the conclusion of Week 7.

There’s a lot to break down and a lot to go over but before we look ahead, let’s look back. Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ victory.

Offensive snaps: 77
Defensive snaps: 71
Special teams snaps: 22

In his return to the Giants, Landon Collins took 23 snaps and played quite well. He was actually on the field a bit more than was initially anticipated and that role is likely to increase the more practice he gets.

Rookie wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson also saw his snap count increase from 15 to 53 and it may have been a bit more if he wasn’t hit below the belt. Like Collins, expect his workload to increase moving forward.

Wide receiver Richie James, who was the team’s No. 1 for several weeks this season, took just seven snaps on Sunday.

The New York Giants rallied again, this time on the shoulders of QB Daniel Jones, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 23-17.

The New York Giants entered Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars as underdogs and found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter.

That was right where they wanted to be.

Despite numerous drops, several key injuries and penalties galore, the Giants once again found a way to battle back late in the game and come away with a victory that went down to the wire — literally.

With the win, which was propelled by quarterback Daniel Jones and a defensive stop at the goal line as time expired, the Giants are 6-1 and now head to Seattle for a Week 8 game.
