ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Giants WR Malik Nabers "will try" to play vs. the Saints today. But he'll work out pre-game before a final determination is made. And it “would be more of a limited role" if he plays, a source tells Schefter. Nabers is dealing with both a lingering groin issue and a new hip injury he suffered in practice this week. Already more of a WR2 with New York's QB struggles, Nabers projects as a shaky WR3 on limited snaps this week.
The Giants have ruled LB Bobby Okereke out for Sunday's game against the Saints because of a back injury. HC Brian Daboll said earlier this week that he hoped Okereke would be ready for the game, so it doesn't seem like a long-term issue. But Okereke missed all three practice days. His absence should leave Micah McFadden and rookie Darius Muasau as the top two off-ball LBs vs. New Orleans.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He got hurt on Thursday and then didn’t practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Nabers’ status and get the Giants’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Consider him a risky WR2 if he ends up playing.
Giants HC Brian Daboll said Friday that WR Malik Nabers is dealing with a new hip injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. He was listed on the injury report with a groin, which had us assuming that it was the same issue that he's been dealing with since college. Nabers had an MRI on the hip, according to Daboll, and won't practice on Friday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Saints is seemingly in legitimate question. We'll keep you updated on Nabers' status.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday. This is presumably the same groin issue that popped up in Week 12 and that Nabers said he's been dealing with his college. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Saints, but we'll see how Nabers is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
The Giants are planning to start QB Drew Lock against the Saints this weekend, HC Brian Daboll said Wednesday. Lock was not good vs. the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, averaging 5.6 yards per pass attempt with 0 TDs and a pick-six. He ran for 57 yards and a score, though. And the decision is defensible when QB Tommy DeVito is the other option. That, of course, doesn't make Lock a good fantasy play. He sits 24th in the Week 14 QB Rankings.
Giants TE Theo Johnson (foot) has been placed on IR. That knocks him out until at least Week 18, and it doesn't sound like he'll play in the finale. We'll look for more details on this foot injury and see if it costs Johnson any of this offseason. He can be dropped from all redraft rosters but should stay stashed in dynasty leagues. Johnson had a promising rookie season, quickly earning a significant role and averaging 5.4 targets, 3.6 catches, and 43 yards over his final five games.
Giants DL Dexter Lawrence dislocated his left elbow in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys and will miss the rest of the season. HC Brian Daboll called the issue "long term" on Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll see about Lawrence's outlook for 2025 but don't expect it to be that long-term an issue.
Giants TE Theo Johnson suffered a foot injury in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys that's expected to end his season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Giants WR Malik Nabers caught eight of those 13 targets for 69 yards. Lock didn’t show much more promise than any other Giants QB, throwing a pick six and running for a TD. Nabers’ talent earns him the targets, but inaccurate passes from poor QB play have continued to hold him back.
Giants QB Tommy DeVito (foreman) is inactive as the emergency third QB for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. QB Drew Lock gets the start in his place. Lock shouldn’t be anywhere near season-long fantasy lineups, although we are projecting him as a slight upgrade for WR Malik Nabers and the Giants passing game.
Giants QB Tommy DeVito appears to be a longshot to play on Thanksgiving due to his forearm injury. He is formally listed as questionable, but Drew Lock is in line to start, according to reports. DeVito's injury will be evaluated further.
Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Cowboys. He went from a limited practice on Tuesday to no practice on Wednesday. And, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, DeVito is not flying with the team to Dallas but will join them later. It seems like there's a good chance QB Drew Lock gets the start for the G-Men on Thanksgiving. It's a situation to avoid outside of large-field Thanksgiving DFS tournaments.
Giants QB Tommy DeVito was limited in Tuesday's practice with a right forearm issue. He wasn't listed on the injury report on Monday. “I’m hopeful, but it’s not 100%" that DeVito will play vs. the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, HC Brian Daboll said. We'll see how DeVito is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. QB Drew Lock would get the nod against Dallas if DeVito is out.
After being cut by the Broncos yesterday, TE Greg Dulcich was claimed by the New York Giants. He enters a thin TE room though rookie Theo Johnson has a strong hold on the starting job.
The Broncos waived TE Greg Dulcich. The 2022 third-rounder flashed as a rookie but has struggled with injuries for much of his time in the NFL. He's been a healthy scratch for Denver's last eight games. We'll see where Dulcich lands, but it's not a good sign when you're released before your rookie contract is up. Dulcich is not a must-hold in dynasty leagues.
Giants QB Tommy DeVito completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards and no TDs. He also ran seven times for 32 yards. The Buccaneers defense was able to get pressure and DeVito was not accurate enough to overcome. WR Malik Nabers led the team with nine targets, but only caught six for 64 yards.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. There have been no reports about his snaps being limited. The groin and QB Tommy DeVito add risk to his Week 12 fantasy profile. But Nabers would be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups against Tampa Bay’s 29th-ranked WR defense.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) is expected to play vs. the Bucs today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Nabers did not practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. He's reportedly been dealing with this groin issue since college, though, and was confident on Friday that he'd be able to play in this one. We'll look for further updates on his status. But, at this point, Nabers would be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups against Tampa Bay's 29th-ranked WR defense.
The Giants on Saturday activated Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux from IR. He missed the past five games following surgery for a wrist fracture. Thibodeaux was deemed questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, but his activation indicates he's ready to play.
