Giants injury report: Leonard Williams, Kadarius Toney return to practice

The New York Giants had a long Wednesday injury report but on the plus side, Daniel Jones, Leonard Williams and Kadarius Toney practiced.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of their Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers in London, but much of the team was limping.

In what has become a yearly trend for the Giants, injuries are again the story. This time around, eyes were on the quarterbacks, wide receivers and defensive line.

Luckily for Big Blue, there seemed to be more good news than bad news.

Quarterback Daniel Jones, defensive lineman Leonard Williams and wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Wan’Dale Robinson all participated on at least a limited basis. However, quarterback Tyrod Taylor and safety Julian Love remain in concussion protocol.

The Giants’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Kenny Golladay (knee), QB Tyrod Taylor (concussion), S Julian Love (concussion), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf), LB Azeez Ojulari (calf), WR Richie James Jr. (ankle), DL Henry Mondeaux (ankle)

Limited participant: QB Daniel Jones (ankle), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), DL Leonard Williams (knee), OL Evan Neal (neck), DB Fabian Moreau (foot), DB Nick McCloud (hamstring)

Giants injury updates: Kenny Golladay, Aaron Robinson likely to miss time

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll offered updates on more than 10 injured players and indicated that WR Kenny Golladay may miss time.

The New York Giants may have defeated the Chicago Bears, 20-12, in Week 4, but it came at a cost. In excess of 10 players went down injured and the prognosis on some of them is less than desirable.

During a Monday afternoon Zoom conference with the team’s beat reporters, head coach Brian Daboll broke down each — some in more detail than others.

Here are the updates on the team’s walking wounded.

Giants’ Leonard Williams, four others out vs. Bears

The New York Giants have listed five players out against the Chicago Bears, including DL Leonard Williams and WR Kadarius Toney.

The New York Giants were hopeful to get several injured players back against the Chicago Bears but will have to wait another week on many.

Wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Wan’Dale Robinson aren’t ready to go just yet, and the same is true for defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who was also listed out.

On the plus side, cornerback Aaron Robinson will make his return to the field and it couldn’t come soon enough. Rookie Cor’Dale Flott will miss Sunday’s Week 4 game with a calf injury.

Also in the good news department, defensive lineman Jihad Ward will be available after missing practice earlier in the week.

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

Giants injury report: Jihad Ward returns to practice, Leonard Williams sits

New York Giants DL Jihad Ward returned to practice on Thursday, but the news wasn’t as good for WR Kadarius Toney or DL Leonard Williams.

The New York Giants returned to the field on Thursday afternoon with “Fantastic Voyage” blaring over the loudspeakers in honor of rapper Coolio, who passed away at the age of 59 on Wednesday.

A day removed from the team’s walkthrough, all eyes were on the likes of Kadarius Toney, Leonard Williams and Aaron Robinson.

The bad news? Toney and Williams remain sidelined. The good news? Robinson was practicing and appears poised to make his return on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Nick McCloud (hamstring), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring), DL Leonard Williams (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf)

Limited participant: CB Aaron Robinson (appendicitis), DL Jihad Ward (knee)

Full participant: CB Justin Layne (concussion)

Giants injury report: Aaron Robinson ‘trending upward’

The New York Giants held a walkthrough on Wednesday and head coach Brian Daboll says CB Aaron Robinson is “trending up.”

The New York Giants returned to the building on Wednesday following a Week 3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Given that they played on Monday night, the team held a walkthrough that was closed to the media.

Prior to practice, head coach Brian Daboll said rookie cornerback Cor’Dale Flott would be added to the injury report. He also noted that several other players, including wide receiver Kadarius Toney, would continue to be managed.

The good news? Daboll noted cornerback Aaron Robinson was “trending up.”

The Giants’ (projected) Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Nick McCloud (hamstring), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring), DL Leonard Williams (knee), CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf), WR Sterling Shepard (knee), DL Jihad Ward (knee)

Limited participant: CB Aaron Robinson (appendicitis), CB Justin Layne (concussion)

Giants stuck playing weak wide receiver hand

The New York Giants have the second-most expensive wide receiver unit in the NFL and they’re underperforming, but now it’s all they’ve got.

The New York Giants suffered a serious blow to their already beleaguered wide receiver unit on Monday night when they lost veteran wideout Sterling Shepard for the season with a torn ACL.

Shepard was in the process of successfully returning from another devastating injury (Achilles) that ended his 2021 season. After three weeks, he was leading the Giants in targets (24), and receiving yards (154).

His absence will mean someone has to step up. Who that will be is tough to say right now.

“The guys that we have,” said head coach Brian Daboll on Tuesday when asked who will fill the void left by Shepard. “Those guys are going to have to continue to work hard, build trust with the quarterback. They’ll be practicing, and hopefully we make some strides in that area.”

The ‘guys’ Daboll are referring to are veteran free agent Richie James, who is primarily a returner, former college quarterback David Sills, little-used Darius Slayton, perpetually injured former first-round pick Kadarius Toney and free agent bust Kenny Golladay.

This year’s second-round pick, Wan’Dale Robinson, is still out with a knee injury and the other wideouts in the building are practice squaders Kalil Pimpleton and Marcus Johnson.

The Giants are 29th in the NFL in passing/receiving yards (560) and Shepard was the top dog in that sputtering outfit. Daboll was asked if the cap-strapped Giants could seek help from outside the complex.

“(General manager) Joe (Schoen) is always looking and his staff. But we have those guys right now who we have,” he said. “And we’re going to expect them to come out here, keep improving, work hard. We have a couple guys on our practice squad right now that maybe they come into play; they’ve been picking up our stuff. So, we’ll see as we go.”

What has to happen here is for the existing players on the roster to begin to earn their keep. Golladay and Slayton should be 1-2 in targets. Why their careers have suddenly fallen off a cliff is mystifying. Toney is made of glass, it seems, but they’re going to need him to get on the field and stay there for once.

James is a pleasant surprise and Sills — who has a good pair of hands and seems to e a solid route runner — can’t be the team’s 1-2 in this day and age of excessive offense.

As Bill Parcells used to say ‘the bus is leaving.’ Either step up or step off.

Giants’ Kadarius Toney doubtful, 4 out vs. Cowboys

The New York Giants have ruled four out and listed WR Kadarius Toney and DL Leonard Williams as doubtful against the Cowboys in Week 3.

The New York Giants will likely get edge rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari back on Monday against the Dallas Cowboys, but they’ll be without a few others.

As anticipated, cornerback Aaron Robinson will not play after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. He is expected to be joined by wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who missed the team’s previous two practices with a lingering hamstring injury.

Rookie wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson will also miss his second consecutive game.

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

Giants injury report: Kadarius Toney a projected non-participant

The New York Giants released a projected injury report on Friday and WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was downgraded from the day prior.

The New York Giants did not have an official practice on Friday but did release a projected injury report following the day’s meetings and walkthrough.

Nothing had changed since the day prior with one alarming exception: wide receiver Kadarius Toney was listed as a non-participant.

Toney has been dealing with a hamstring issue for several weeks and the fact that he was DNP on a projection does not bode well for his potential availability on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants’ (projected) Friday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: DL Leonard Williams (knee), CB Aaron Robinson (appendicitis), CB Nick McCloud (hamstring), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), CB Justin Layne (concussion), WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring)

Limited participant: LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee), LB Azeez Ojulari (calf), OL Jon Feliciano (shin), S Jason Pinnock (shoulder), DB Dane Belton (clavicle)

Giants injury report: Kadarius Toney returns to practice

New York Giants WR Kadarius Toney returned to practice on Thursday, while Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari appear ready to go.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday as they continue preparations for a Week 3 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Head coach Brian Daboll says edge rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari are both making strides and indicated they are likely to play on Monday night. Both players have seen an uptick in practice reps.

Ojulari declared himself good to go.

Wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who sat out of practice on Wednesday, returned on a limited basis.

Daboll also wouldn’t officially rule defensive lineman Leonard Williams out for the team’s Monday night game, although it remains unlikely that he’ll play.

Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux doubtful, 4 out vs. Panthers

The New York Giants have ruled 4 players out, and Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari as doubtful against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2.

The New York Giants wrapped up their second week of regular season practice on Friday and unfortunately, saw their injury report grow.

Among those added throughout the week were wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and swing tackle Devery Hamilton (illness). On the plus side, rookie safety Dane Belton (clavicle) practiced in full and will make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

The news was far more uncertain for edge rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf). They were limited throughout the week but each run the risk of missing their second consecutive game on Sunday.
