Kyle Rudolph, Graham Gano Back At Practice Thursday

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) and kicker Graham Gano (illness) were both limited practice participants on Thursday after they weren't on the practice field on Wednesday. The return to practice suggests that both Rudolph and Gano will play in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears. However, neither player should be anywhere near […]

Saquon Barkley Back To A Limited Practice Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was back to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Barkley continues to manage an ankle injury, but the Giants don't have any plans to shut him down for the final two games of the regular season. It's been a frustrating season for Barkley […]

Kadarius Toney Doesn't Practice On Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) missed practice again on Thursday, making it seem highly unlikely that the rookie will play on Sunday. With Darius Slayton placed on the COVID-IR this morning and Sterling Shepard (achilles) out for the season, the Giants will have Kenny Golladay, Evan Engram, and John Ross as the […]

Darius Slayton Tests Positive For COVID-19

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. He will most likely be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and miss Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old has caught 24 passes for 310 yards and one touchdown over 12 games in 2021. New York will have Kenny Golladay, […]

Graham Gano, Kyle Rudolph Out Wednesday

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (illness) and tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. With COVID-19 outbreaks ravaging teams throughout the league, Gano's status is worth monitoring ahead of Week 17 against the Chicago Bears, although he shouldn't be started in fantasy in this terrible Giants offense. Gano has attempted just […]

Kadarius Toney Now Dealing With Shoulder Injury

It's been one thing after another for New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) in 2021, and he missed another practice on Wednesday with a shoulder injury. Toney has also missed time recently due to COVID-19, although he returned last week to catch four of nine targets for 28 yards in the loss […]

Saquon Barkley Misses Practice Wednesday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Barkley is just being rested ahead of the Week 17 contest against the Chicago Bears, and the Giants don't have any plans of shutting him down for the final two regular season games. Expect the 24-year-old to return to practice on Thursday […]

Mike Glennon And Jake Fromm Could Both Play On Sunday

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said both Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm could see reps at quarterback on Sunday against the Bears.

John Ross Returns To Giants Facility Wednesday

New York Giants wide receiver John Ross and defensive backs Adoree' Jackson and Keion Crossen will return to practice Wednesday while defensive end Dexter Lawrence was added to the Feserve/COVID-19 list.
