Giants-Ravens Week 6: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants won their Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

For the second consecutive week, the New York Giants stormed back late in a game to stun a quality opponent. This time, they overcame a 10-point deficit to defeat the Baltimore Ravens, 24-20.

The win brings the Giants’ record to 5-1 and has many beginning to think playoffs. But for New York, they remain focused on the task at hand and a Week 7 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

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: 65
Defensive snaps: 59
Special teams snaps: 26

Rookie wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson took just 15 snaps in his return, but that was the plan all along. Head coach Brian Daboll said Robinson was on a “pitch count” and they’ll look to get him a heavier workload moving forward.

Defensively, lineman Leonard Williams took nearly 100 percent of snaps in his return from a sprained MCL. That’s would seem to indicate the Giants are confident in his knee and his health.

Bumps, Bruises and Bowouts

QB Skylar Thompson (MIA) – Hand
QB Kenny Pickett (PIT) – Concussion
QB P.J. Walker (CAR) – Neck
RB J.K. Dobbins (BAL) – Knee
RB Deon Jackson (IND) – Quad
WR Kendrick Bourne (NE) – Toe
WR Randall Cobb (GB) – High Ankle
WR Jamal Agnew (JAC) – Knee
WR Jaylen Waddle (MIA) – shoulder
WR Marquise Brown (ARI) – Foot
WR Robbie Anderson (CAR) – Benched
TE Cameron Brate – Neck

Chasing Ambulances

QB Skylar Thompson (MIA) – Injured his hand when it hit a helmet after he passed. Teddy Bridgewater finished the game. Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return for Week 7, which makes this inconsequential.

QB Kenny Pickett (PIT) – Suffered a concussion after a hard hit in the third quarter and did not return. Mitchell Trubisky finished the winning effort against the Buccaneers and would start again in Miami this week if needed.

QB P.J. Walker (CAR) – Injured his neck and gave way to Jacob Eason. Walker later said he would be fine for Week 7 hosting the Buccaneers, but everything in Carolina is murky right now with running backs, wideouts, and quarterbacks.

RB J.K. Dobbins (BAL) – His knee tightened and was held out from the second half. He seemed to be back to form in Week 4 but now has struggled in the last two weeks. His status for this week will be determined later in the week but he’ll likely play, the question is how much if he is active?

RB Deon Jackson (IND) – The third-string back that turned into a stud against the Jaguars left the game for most of the fourth quarter with a quad injury. Jonathan Taylor went through limited practices last week, so he’s likely to return. Jackson was a great as a replacement and makes a prudent hold for the Taylor owner.

WR Randall Cobb (GB) – Was carted off the field and was reported to have a high-ankle sprain. The early speculation is that he’ll miss  multiple weeks.  Amari Rodgers is the next man up, but the entire receiving corps for the Packers has disappointed and digging through the depth chart will not likely improve anything.

WR Jaylen Waddle (MIA) – Hurt his shoulder late in the game but had 129 yards before he left. Waddle later said that he would be okay for this week’s matchup with the Steelers, plus Tua Tagovailoa should be back as well. Barring negative practice reports, Waddle should be fine.

WR Marquise Brown (ARI) – He was injured near the end of the loss to the Seahawks when a defender fell on his foot. He wore a walking boot after the game and was limping. The Cards host the Saints on Thursday night, so there isn’t much time to heal up.

 WR Robbie Anderson (CAR) – He argued with his position coach on the sideline about never getting a pass thrown to him and he was sent to the locker room in the fourth quarter. Anderson is rumored to be on the trading block and it appears that the Panthers may not want too much just to get rid of an obviously unhappy player.

Free Agents, Flops and Other Notables

TE George Kittle (SF) – The 49ers star tight end still has not scored this season, but he led the team with eight catches for 83 yards when they fell behind and needed to abandon the run. It’s encouraging to see him return to high-volume usage, and hosting the Chiefs this week should spark the need to throw more.

TE Kyle Pitts (ATL) – He finally scored a touchdown this season but still was held to only three catches for 19 yards in the win over the 49ers. It was nice to see but cannot be considered more than just a single-play event and not a growing trend. So long as Marcus Mariota is the quarterback, there is no reason to expect Pitts to be used up to his potential.

WR Tyquan Thornton (NE) – The speedy rookie debuted in Week 5 with just two catches for seven yards. Versus the Browns, he turned in a fantasy breakout with four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown, plus three rushes for 16 yards and a second score. The lower volume of passing in New England will make him a risky start no matter how much confidence he builds, but his addition as a rusher will help him to offer more consistent stats if they continue his dual role.

TE Robert Tonyan (GB) – He’s had minimal use this year, but against the Jets, Tonyan led the Packers with ten catches for 90 yards. That may be more than just a one-week blip. The Packers lost Randall Cobb to a high-ankle sprain, so the tight end may continue to see more targets as Aaron Rodgers contends with a marginal set of receivers.

RB JaMychal Hasty (JAC) – Because two running backs just were not enough, the Jags are now using three. Travis Etienne had 12 touches, James Robinson had 13 touches, and Hasty is getting playing time. His second of three runs went for a 61-yard touchdown in the second quarter. His other two touches lost four yards. But the Jaguars are leaning toward being more of a rushing team than a passing team. Hasty adds to the committee but takes away from the other two backs.

RB Deon Jackson (IND) – The Colts missed Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines, but Jackson stepped in to great effect. He ran twelve times for 42 yards and a touchdown, plus caught ten passes for 79 yards as the top fantasy running back for the week. Taylor is likely back this week for the game in Tennessee, but Jackson could potentially cut into Hines’ role as a receiving back.

WR Rashid Shaheed (NO) – The undrafted free agent wideout was called up from the practice squad to help fill in for the three starting wideouts who were out. The Weber State product failed to catch his one pass but ran for a 44-yard touchdown on his only rush.  He’ll likely head back to the practice squad when the starters return, but the 4.4/40-time speedster looked sharp for his score.

RB Kenyan Drake (BAL) – J.K. Dobbins had his knee “stiffened up” and sat out of the second half of the loss to the Giants. Drake was limited to ten carries but gained 119 yards and a touchdown. And it wasn’t just one long run that spiked the total. He turned in runs of 30, 30, 20, and 15 yards. He stopped running in the fourth quarter when the Ravens went to a pass-heavy script. Depending on Dobbins’ health, Drake could see more use on Sunday when the Browns visit.

WR Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG) – The rookie returned from his four weeks off with a knee injury and  caught three passes for 37 yards and one touchdown. His four targets were second only to Daniel Bellinger (5). The Giants are not a good passing team, but Robinson was a second-round pick that runs a 4.4 40-time and is expected to become a starter. The Giants’ wide receiver depth chart may be the most open one in the league, so Robinson deserves a spot on a roster.

WR Allen Robinson (LAR) – After a three-game stretch that saw Robinson total seven catches for 42 yards combined, it was safe enough to give up on Robinson. Not so fast. Versus the Panthers, Robinson turned in a season-best five catches for 63 yards and one score. His six targets were second only to Cooper Kupp (8). It can’t be considered more than a one-week blip, but it also means that you cannot dump him on the waiver wire.

RB Kenneth Walker (SEA) – The second running back taken in the 2022 NFL draft ran for 97 yards and one score on 21 carries. He added two catches for 13 yards in his debut in the wake of Rashaad Penny’s season-ending leg injury. DeeJay Dallas only ran twice for one net yard, so Walker is likely to maintain his heavy workload if his success continues.

WR DeAndre Hopkins (ARI) – Returns to the Cardinals after a six-week suspension and maybe just in time since Marquise Brown injured his foot and the Cardinals play the Saints on Thursday night.

Huddle player of the week

Joe Burrow  –  The Bengals haven’t seen the same success that they had in 2021 when they went to the Super Bowl, but he just turned in his best effort of the season and the best of anyone in Week 6. Burrow threw for exactly 300 yards and three scores, plus ran for 25 yards and a fourth touchdown. His play lifted the Bengals to a win at the Saints.

Salute!

Giants defeat Ravens: Winners, losers and those in between

The New York Giants rallied to upset the Ravens in Week 6, and here are our winners and losers (and those in between) from the game.

The New York Giants’ magic appeared to run out against the Baltimore Ravens at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and then it suddenly returned.

Some late key penalties and miscues by Baltimore opened the door for the Giants to steal a 24-20 victory and improve to 5-1 on the season.

Here are some winners, losers and in-betweens from the game.

Giants’ Kadarius Toney among 5 ruled out vs. Ravens

The New York Giants have ruled five players out (and one doubtful) against the Baltimore Ravens, including WR Kadarius Toney.

The New York Giants were hoping to get several injured players back in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens, and it looks like they will. Unfortunately, it’s not going to be as many as they had desired.

Several of the walking wounded did return to practice this week and are expected to play. But on the other side of the spectrum, there were new injuries that cropped up and other players who will sit this one out.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Ravens can be found below:

Giants’ Wan’Dale Robinson feels good, hopes to play in Week 6

New York Giants rookie WR Wan’Dale Robinson says he feels good and barring any setbacks, hopes to play in Week 6 against the Ravens.

The New York Giants are likely to be without Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay in Week 6, but they may get at least one reinforcement back at the wide receiver position.

Rookie Wan’Dale Robinson has been a limited participant in back-to-back practices. Barring an unforeseen setback, he hopes to play against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Earlier in the week, Robinson appeared to be making hard cuts and running at full speed. That’s a strong indication that his knee is in good health.

Robinson has missed the team’s last four games after suffering a sprained MCL in a Week 1 victory against the Tennessee Titans. He managed just nine offensive snaps and one reception for five yards before going down injured.

The Giants selected the 5-foot-8, 185-pound Robinson in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft.

Giants injury report: Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay remain sidelined

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay continue missing practice, while QB Tyrod Taylor returned on Thursday.

The New York Giants practiced indoors on Thursday due to the inclement weather in East Rutherford, and were once again saddled with a lengthy injury list.

On the positive end of the spectrum, quarterback Tyrod Taylor cleared concussion protocol and rejoined his teammates. And despite being limited for the second consecutive day, head coach Brian Daboll said he had no concerns about running back Saquon Barkley handling a full workload in Week 6.

Unfortunately for the Giants, not all news was good news. Wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney continue to be sidelined by injury, and were joined by tight end Tanner Hudson.

The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Kenny Golladay (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring), DB Tony Jefferson (foot), DB Jason Pinnock (ankle), TE Tanner Hudson (illness), DL Jihad Ward (not injury related)

Limited participant: WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), DL Leonard Williams (knee), LB Azeez Ojulari (calf), CB Adoree’ Jackson (knee/neck), RB Saquon Barkley (shoulder), CB Darnay Holmes (quad), TE Chris Myarick (ankle)

Full participant: P Jamie Gillan (not injury related), QB Tyrod Taylor (concussion)

Giants injury report: Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay don’t practice

The New York Giants returned to practice on Wednesday but remain without wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday following their stunning victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 5.

However, they were noticeably shorthanded as the injury list continues to grow. Saquon Barkley, Adoree’ Jackson and Tony Jefferson were among the new additions, but all participated on at least a limited basis.

The same could not be said for wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, who remain sidelined with their respective injuries.

The Giants’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Kenny Golladay (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring), P Jamie Gillan (not injury related), DB Tony Jefferson (foot), DB Jason Pinnock (ankle)

Limited participant: WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), DL Leonard Williams (knee), QB Tyrod Taylor (concussion), LB Azeez Ojulari (calf), CB Adoree’ Jackson (knee/neck), RB Saquon Barkley (shoulder), CB Darnay Holmes (quad), TE Chris Myarick (ankle)

Giants’ Tyrod Taylor, Wan’Dale Robinson among 7 ruled out vs. Packers

The New York Giants ruled seven players out against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, including QB Tyrod Taylor and three wide receivers.

The New York Giants visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday in London and will do so down a number of players.

Earlier in the week, cornerback Aaron Robinson was placed on injured reserve (IR) and then on Friday, the team ruled out an additional seven players.

Among them is backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion), meaning Davis Webb will get activated from the practice squad.

On the plus side, safety Julian Love cleared concussion protocol and will play, and defensive lineman Leonard Williams inched closer to his return. However, he said he’d like a full practice before he steps back onto the field and was limited on Friday.

Note: Henry Mondeaux is on the team’s practice squad so it’s unclear why he’s being listed on the final injury report.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Packers can be found below:

Giants injury report: Kadarius Toney sits, Julian Love returns

While the news on New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is positive, the same can not be said for WR Kadarius Toney who regressed in 24 hours.

The New York Giants took the practice field in East Rutherford for the final time before jetting off to London on Thursday. And once again, quarterback Daniel Jones was participating and looked good to go against the Green Bay Packers.

The same could not be said for wide receiver Kadarius Toney, however. One day after returning to practice, the 2021 first-round pick was sidelined with injury. He seems unlikely to play on Sunday.

On the plus side, safety Julian Love and wide receiver Richie James Jr. returned to practice.

The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Kenny Golladay (knee), QB Tyrod Taylor (concussion), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf), LB Azeez Ojulari (calf), DL Henry Mondeaux (ankle), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring)

Limited participant: QB Daniel Jones (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), DL Leonard Williams (knee), OL Evan Neal (neck), DB Fabian Moreau (foot), DB Nick McCloud (hamstring), S Julian Love (concussion), WR Richie James Jr. (ankle)

Full participant: N/A
