New York Giants’ Evan Neal, Rakeem Nunez-Roches out vs. Eagles

The New York Giants closed out their practice slate on Saturday afternoon, wrapping up their third session in four days.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who is nursing a hamstring injury, returned to the field and told reporters he intends to play on Monday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Head coach Brian Daboll expressed similar optimism for veteran defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson.

Dexter Lawrence continues to miss practice

The New York Giants enjoyed an off day on Friday with their final practice scheduled for Saturday ahead of a Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

With most players away from team facilities, that meant little change in terms of injury status. However, the Giants still moved forward with a projected injury report.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was a projected non-participant due to a hamstring issue that has plagued him for several weeks.

“He’s still working through his hamstring,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters this week.

Even with an extra day off this week, Sexy Dexy seems unlikely to suit up on Monday afternoon against the Eagles.

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

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee), OL Evan Neal (ankle), TE Lawrence Cager (groin)

Limited participant: DT A’Shawn Robinson (back), RB Matt Breida (hamstring), LB Carter Coughlin (neck), P Jamie Gillan (groin), S Xavier McKinney (illness)

Full participant: OL Justin Pugh (calf/neck), TE Darren Waller (hamstring), RB Gary Brightwell (hamstring), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

Dexter Lawrence, Xavier McKinney not practicing

The New York Giants were back on the practice field Thursday ahead of a scheduled day off and were down a starter.

Kicker Randy Bullock has been placed on season-ending injured reserve (IR) with a hamstring issue. He will be replaced by fellow kicker Cade York, who is currently on the practice squad, for the remainder of the season.

Meanwhile, all eyes were on the Giants’ trio of defensive tackles — Dexter Lawrence, A’Shawn Robinson, and Rakeem Nunez-Roches, all of whom are banged up.

Lawrence and Nunez-Roches continued to sit out while Robinson was limited.

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

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), S Xavier McKinney (illness) DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee), OL Evan Neal (ankle), TE Lawrence Cager (groin)

New York Giants expected to place RB Gary Brightwell on IR

The New York Giants are placing running back and special teams ace Gary Brightwell on injured reserve, according to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz.

Brightwell, who’s been dealing with a hamstring injury, will miss at least the next four games, and he’s eligible to return in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.

Brightwell has not played an offensive snap since Week 4 and has only been used on special teams the past three games. He didn’t practice all this week due to a hamstring issue and was ruled out for this week’s game against the New York Jets on Sunday.

The Giants have added both Jashaun Corbin and Deon Jackson to the active roster to serve as running back depth behind Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida. Corbin is expected to be a candidate for punt returning duties in the wake of the injury to Eric Gray.

New York Giants’ Daniel Jones among two out vs. Jets in Week 8

The New York Giants will host the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this Sunday and although they are getting healthier, will still be down several key players.

One of those players will be quarterback Daniel Jones, who will miss his third straight game due to a neck injury.

“I’d just say we are on this week, and we will see what happens next week,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters. “He’s getting better. He’s getting better.

“He’s throwing, he feels better every day. He’s done a good job here of the things that he can do out here on the practice field and take it one day at a time. But he’s getting closer.”

Daboll refused to answer when asked if Jones would play again this season, reminding members of the media that he’s already addressed that. The coach previously said that DJ would play again this year.

This time, however, Daboll did not seem very affirmative. It’s a storyline to keep an eye on.

In addition to Jones, the Giants also ruled out running back Gary Brightwell.

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

Daniel Jones still not cleared for contact

The New York Giants were back on the practice field in East Rutherford on Thursday and once again, all eyes were on quarterback Daniel Jones and his progress.

Unfortunately for Jones and the Giants, there was no change in his participation level from the day prior. He remained limited and not cleared for contact.

The news was a bit better for left tackle Andrew Thomas, who saw an uptick in his practice workload. However, he remains uncertain if he’ll be able to play against the New York Jets in Week 8.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was given a rest day.

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

Did not participate: RB Gary Brightwell (hamstring), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest)

Defense carries New York Giants to 14-7 victory over Commanders

The New York Giants, losers of five of their six games thus far in 2023, hosted the 3-3 Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Giants played the game with an extensive injury list. Quarterback Daniel Jones and starting cornerback Adoree’ Jackson both sat out with neck injuries.

Three starting offensive linemen — left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring), center John Michael Schmitz (shoulder) and right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) were also inactive as well as swing tackle Matt Peart (shoulder).

The Giants wore their ‘legacy’ uniforms in this game, which was a sloppily-played affair by both sides.

Ultimately, the Giants’ defense stepped up and embodied the players who had worn those uniforms before them, carrying the team to a 14-7 victory.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Final
Giants 0 14 0 0 14
Commanders 0 0 7 0 7

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

  • The Giants’ defense looked strong again, holding the Commanders to just 1-for-15 on third down while forcing 10 punts and nine three-and-outs.
  • The Giants came into the game with just five sacks in their first six games. They matched that total by halftime in this game. Washington was allowing 7.3 sacks plus turnovers per game this year, the most in the league.
  • Five receivers had receptions of over 20 yards for the Giants in this game and Tyrod Taylor had a 20-yard rush. The most 20-plus yard plays the Giants have had all year.
  • The Commanders had 10 accepted penalties for a total of 75 yards. The Giants had four for 40 yards.

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports

When the Giants forced Commanders quarterback Sam Howell out of the pocket for an incompletion on a 4th-and-5 on the New York 7-yard line with 1:01 remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Giants took possession and went into the victory formation deep in their now territory and ran out the remainder of the clock to secure a 14-7 win.

  • Quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed 18 of 29 passes for 279 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 116.9 quarterback rating.
  • Tight end Darren Waller reeled in seven of eight targets for 98 yards and a touchdown.
  • Running back Saquon Barkley racked up 118 yards from scrimmage (77 rushing, 41 receiving) and scored what would become the deciding touchdown.
  • Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt made big plays again, catching two passes for a total of 75 yards.
  • Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence had two sacks, four QB hits and six total stops on the afternoon.

Running back Saquon Barkley was shaken up after a 9-yard run in the first quarter after getting hit late out of bounds. No penalty was called. Trainers put a sleeve on Barkley’s left arm and he returned on the Giants’ next possession.

Running back/returner Eric Gray suffered a calf injury in the first half and did not return. Sterling Shepard replaced Gray on punt returns.

Backup running back Gary Brightwell (hamstring) left the game in the second quarter and was ruled out.

Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports

Head coach Brian Daboll will hold a Zoom call with the team’s beat writers on Monday afternoon before a few players are also made available.

Big Blue will return to practice on Wednesday ahead of a Week 8 game against the New York Jets on Sunday, October 29 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Kickoff is 1:00 p.m. ET.

New York Giants injury report: Daniel Jones remains limited

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)

Daniel Jones limited in return to practice

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)
