New York Giants’ Tyre Phillips is ‘ahead of schedule’ in his recovery

Tyre Phillips has had a rough go to start his NFL career.

Drafted in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens, Phillips never got to really show what he is capable of. He dealt with an ankle injury during his first season, then tore his ACL in his second season and was released before his third season started.

In September 2022, the New York Giants signed Phillips. He was released in August 2023 and that September Phillips joined the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad. In October, though, the Giants came calling again. Phillips was back in blue, suiting up for the injured Evan Neal.

Phillips would start the next nine of 10 games, injuring his quadriceps muscle in Week 17. He underwent surgery in January, and now it looks as if his recovery is going better than expected.

That Phillips’ recovery is going well is great for him. He’s an unrestricted free agent this year, though, so the Giants need to decide if they will re-sign him or not. The Giants had the worst offensive line in the NFL in 2023, so it seems like keeping a solid guard on the roster is a good idea.

But this is the Giants and who knows what the likes of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are thinking. The guard position is one they are actively looking to bolster, so time will tell if Phillips makes the cut.

New York Giants fear Tyre Phillips suffered torn quad

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor frantically called trainers out onto the field before taking a knee next to his teammate, offensive lineman Tyre Phillips.

Taylor’s reaction told the whole story. Even before cameras shifted to Phillips writhing in pain, it was abundantly clear something bad had happened.

As more Giants, many pale in the face, kneeled next to their fallen teammate, the severity of the situation began to set in. Then out came the cart, which scooped up and whisked an emotional Phillips away.

The usually tight-lipped Brian Daboll acknowledged after the game that Phillips was in a bad way.

“I don’t think it’s good. He was hurting pretty good,” Daboll told reporters. “I mean, but it’s a knee. I know that. He was in a lot of pain out there, but I haven’t talked to the doctors.”

Phillips had injured his knee earlier in the game, having it wrapped and put in a brace before returning. But the second time he went down, it looked like something else — something far more serious.

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Giants fear Phillips suffered a torn quad that will require surgery.

“We working so hard for some injuries to happen but we play a sport that has injuries. Just got to trust God. Got to trust him through it all,” told The Athletic after the game.

Phillips will head for an MRI on Monday, likely at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, to confirm. Swift surgery is likely.

Phillips appeared in nine games this season with eight starts at right tackle, replacing second-year offensive lineman Evan Neal, who was lost for the season with a broken ankle. He, too, will need surgery.

Right tackle Tyre Phillips injured his left leg in the first series of the game and left the field to be evaluated. He was replaced by Matt Peart and returned on the Giants’ next possession. Phillips was knocked out of the game for good with a knee injury in the second half.

Safety Jason Pinnock limped off the field in the first quarter with an ankle injury and headed toward the locker room. Dane Belton came in for him. Pinnock was ruled out for the rest of the game in the second quarter.

New York Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence remains sidelined

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)

5 biggest storylines for Week 8

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will miss his third consecutive game due to a neck injury. Backup Tyrod Taylor will draw the start once again this week.

Jones’ condition has not allowed him to participate fully in practices. For the past two weeks, Jones has served as the scout team quarterback.

He is clearly week-to-week at this point, but his return is contingent on the medical team, whose diagnosis was not shared with the media by head coach Brian Daboll.

It is becoming clear Jones may not be the team’s future at quarterback. The Giants have to be frustrated with him, especially since the team has shown some progress in his absence.

Brian Daboll praises New York Giants’ makeshift offensive line

The New York Giants snapped their four-game losing streak on Sunday with a gritty, 14-7, win over the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants improved to 2-5 on the year and quite possibly saved their season in the process.

Head coach Brian Daboll has taken a ton of criticism this season but he has not taken his eye off the light at the end of the tunnel.

“I’ve said this before, it’s an up-and-down league. It’s a humbling league, but if you can stay consistent with your approach,” Daboll told reporters after the game. “You make slight adjustments and your belief in the players. It’s not for everybody, you gotta be able to do that. It’s not gonna be perfect all the time and there’s definitely gonna be some struggles and again, one week has nothing to do with the next week.

“So, whether we lost a close game to the Bills, we won this close game tonight, it really has no bearing on what we do next week to keep a consistent attitude, to work with great intention. That’s what’s important to get ready for a game that’s gonna be difficult every week regardless of who you play and focus on your job and putting the team first. Again, it’s not always easy, but that’s what the job requires.”

One of the biggest challenges has been along the offensive line, where seven of the nine players that made the final roster out of training camp are either on IR, off the roster, or on the sidelines nursing an injury.

The makeshift offensive line has been holding up despite the loss of both starting tackles (Andrew Thomas, Evan Neal) and stud rookie center (John Michael Schmitz).

On Sunday, the Giants went with Justin ‘straight off the couch’ Pugh at left tackle and Tyre Phillips — signed off the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad last week — at right tackle.

Ben Bredeson filled in again at center with Mark Glowinski and Marcus McKethan at guard.

“They’re pros, the guys that were out there tonight, and they worked extremely hard during the week and a couple of days at practice, we were moving guys around and we settled on it say Thursday of how it was gonna go and if (tackle) Evan (Neal) could go, and if he could go, then we had another kind of line up change, if you would. But (offensive linemen coach) Bobby (Johnson) has met with those guys early and late, and he have a kind of revolving door there. Tough competitors,” he said.

Daboll was asked how he settled on the configuration of the line.

“It’s something we talked about as a coaching staff. I think the communication was better. Just having Pugh, a veteran, Bredeson and Glow(inski) kind of opposite because they worked together as well,” he said. “With Tyre back and he was only back for a week, some code words and things like that, even though he picked up, I’d say almost all of it on the way back, it’s still helpful to have someone right next to him that’s been out there and done it, veteran wise.”

Thomas is likely to return this week at left tackle, which will send the line into yet another iteration — the eighth in as many games. We’ll find out later in the week if Neal and Schmitz will play as well.

D.J. Davidson activated from PUP

Prior to practice on Monday, New York Giants defensive lineman D.J. Davidson passed his physical and was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Davidson joins a suddenly deep group of interior defensive linemen, including rookie Jordon Riley, who played well in his NFL preseason debut.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and cornerback Aaron Robinson (knee) remain on PUP with no timetable for return, although general manager Joe Schoen previously implied that Robinson could be activated this week.

The news on wide receiver Collin Johnson, who suffered a knee injury against the Detroit Lions, was also somewhat positive. His issue does not appear to be long-term.

“I don’t think it’s long-term, but I’m not a doctor, either,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters.

Johnson will not practice on Monday but right tackle Evan Neal (concussion) will take a step forward. He will participate in the non-contact portion of practice as he works his way back. However, Neal remains in concussion protocol.

Meanwhile, offensive linemen Devery Hamilton (leg) and Tyre Phillips (unknown), running back Gary Brightwell (ankle), linebacker Cam Crown (unknown), defensive lineman Ryder Anderson (triceps), and defensive back Nick McCloud (stomach) will not practice.

Finally, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (abdominal) will practice after leaving Friday night’s preseason game against the Lions early. Nose tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (groin) will also practice.

New York Giants drop preseason opener to Detroit Lions: 7 takeaways

Junfu Han/Detroit Free Press / USA TODAY NETWORK

The Giants suffered a few injuries in the game. Cornerback Cor’Dale Flott left the game early in the threw quarter with an abdominal issue and wide receiver Collin Johnson left with a knee injury.

“I don’t (know),” head coach Brian Daboll said when asked about the status of both injuries.

“I haven’t even talked to the trainers yet. Other than just on the field they told me they were out. Collin, I think was his knee, and I got to see what it was for Flott. (Giants CB) Nick (McCloud)’s stomach I think, something he got hit in the stomach, but I don’t know any — to the extent of it.”

Punter Jamie Gillan turned his ankle but returned to the game.

Offensive lineman Tyre Phillips missed the game with a leg injury.

“Yeah, he got dinged up,” said Daboll. “That was the leg I was telling you about in practice. I think I told you guys that one practice, him and someone had an ankle.”
