Downgrades to DNP on Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:13 PM
Thomas (groin) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Thomas sustained a groin injury during the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday, and he's opened Week 3 prep with an LP-DNP practice log. His practice participation Friday and the subsequent injury designation announced by the Giants will provide clarity on Thomas' status for Sunday's home game against the Titans. J.C. Davis and Marcus Mbow figure to be the top candidates to start at left tackle if Thomas is not cleared to play against Tennessee. |

Jaxson Dart Jaxson Dart Officially moved to IR
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 3:44 PM
The Giants officially placed Dart (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This transaction was inevitable after it was revealed Dart will miss the rest of the regular season due to damage to the MCL, PCL and meniscus that he suffered in his left knee during the Giants' Week 2 loss to the Rams. Fortunately for Dart, his ACL is intact, and head coach John Harbaugh also told Connor Hughes of SNY.tv on Wednesday that the second-year quarterback may be able to return in the postseason, if the team qualifies. In the meantime, Jameis Winston will cover QB duties for the Giants. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Logs full practice Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 3:35 PM
Nabers (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers suffered a scare when he exited for a spell during Monday's loss at the Rams, but he was able to tough out his right shoulder issue and cap Week 2 with one catch (on four targets) for one yard. While he relayed to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post on Thursday that he received "good results" from X-rays on that shoulder, Nabers will be on the receiving end of passes from Jameis Winston instead of Jaxson Dart (knee) for the rest of the regular season. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Has positive shoulder update
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 2:27 PM
Nabers said Thursday that he received "good results" on X-rays on his right shoulder, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Nabers missed some time during Monday's 28-6 loss at the Rams, a contest in which the Giants lost QB Jaxson Dart (knee) for the rest of the regular season. With Jameis Winston under center for most of the Week 2 matchup, Nabers finished with just one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Nabers officially went down as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and restrictions on his workload may continue the rest of the week, but his comments indicate that he'll be able to play through his current health concern. |

Limited in practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 9:52 PM
Thomas (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Thomas exited Monday's game against the fourth quarter with a groin injury. The adductor issue he suffered is not considered a serious injury, and the left tackle could play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Thomas will likely spend the week as a limited practice participant before suiting up for Sunday's game to play through the injury. |

Full participant Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 9:49 PM
Dan Salomone of the Giants' official siteMcFadden (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: McFadden missed the Giants' Week 2 loss to the Rams due to a neck injury. The linebacker was not able to log more than a limited practice session in the Week 2 build-up to Monday Night Football, a benchmark McFadden has already surpassed in Week 3 with his full session Wednesday. The 26-year-old should be healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans. |

Estimated as limited participant Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:42 PM
Banks (calf) was estimated as a limited participant for the Giants' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Banks was unable to practice at the end of last week before sitting out Monday's loss against the Rams, so his designation is relatively encouraging. He should get chances to potentially practice in earnest Thursday and Friday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Titans. |
|
Tending to calf issue
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:38 PM
Nubin (calf) was estimated as a limited participant for the Giants' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nubin played all 62 of the Giants' defensive snaps in their loss against the Rams on Monday, so it's possible his calf injury is only a minor one. If he can practice fully Thursday or Friday, he could still avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend. |
|
Estimated as non-participant Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:34 PM
Burns (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant for the Giants' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Burns is not expected to need surgery to address the low-ankle sprain he suffered during Monday's loss against the Rams, but it is anticipated that he will miss some time. Until he's able to get back onto the field, Kayvon Thibodeaux figures to see an uptick in reps on the edge. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Limited at Wednesday's practice
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 4:23 PM
Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Nabers exited Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams in the first quarter due to a right shoulder injury but was able to return to the contest, finishing with one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Granted, Jameis Winston took over for an injured Jaxson Dart after the first series of the contest, and now Nabers will be working with Winston for the foreseeable future with Dart slated for surgery on his injured left knee. Nabers will have two more opportunities to get back to full participation this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans. |

Jaxson Dart Jaxson Dart Playoff return not ruled out
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 4:17 PM
Head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Dart (knee) will miss the rest of the 2026 regular season, but he didn't rule out a return for the playoffs if the Giants qualify, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Dart is set for surgery after suffering damage to the MCL, PCL and meniscus in his left knee during Monday's 28-6 loss at the Rams. While the meniscus injury is the primary concern for the second-year quarterback, fortunately for him the ACL in that knee is intact. While Dart is sidelined, Jameis Winston will direct the Giants offense Sunday versus the Titans and beyond. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Spotted at practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 3:05 PM
Nabers (shoulder) was seen participating in Wednesday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Nabers battled through a shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Rams, and his presence at Wednesday's practice is a good sign for his trajectory heading into Week 3 against the Titans. That said, the Giants held only a walk-through Wednesday, so Nabers' status won't be solidified until later in the week. |

Jaxson Dart Jaxson Dart Set for season-ending surgery
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 11:04 AM
Dart is expected to undergo knee surgery that will end his 2026 season but lead to a full recovery heading into 2027, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.
Analysis: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, medical tests on Dart's left knee have revealed that his ACL is intact, but the second-year quarterback sustained damage to his MCL, PCL and meniscus after taking a big hit from two defenders on the Giants' seventh play of Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams. Schefter adds that the meniscus is the primary concern for Dart, who was initially believed to have sustained only an MCL sprain before follow-up tests showed more damage than anticipated. With surgery on tap for Dart, the Giants will move forward with Jameis Winston as their new starting quarterback beginning with this Sunday's game against the Titans. |

Five tackles in loss
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 8:44 PM
Edmunds logged five tackles and one pass defensed in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Edmunds did not record a solo tackle in Sunday's contest but assisted on five takedowns. The linebacker played 100 percent of the Giants' defensive snaps for the second consecutive week and has been on the field for all 118 defensive plays this season. |

Secures interception in loss
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 8:37 PM
Holland logged eight tackles (five solo), one pass defensed for an interception and one fumble recovery in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Holland tied Tyler Nubin for the most Giants tackles in Monday's loss. The free safety picked off MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford in the second quarter of the game as the Giants tried to mount a comeback. Holland also recovered running back Cam Skattebo's fumble, saving the team a turnover. |

Theo Johnson Theo Johnson Four targets, zero catches in Week 2 loss
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 7:12 PM
Johnson played 16 of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps but did not haul in any of his four targets during Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: All four of Johnson's targets came in the first half, three of which were in the opening quarter. The third-year tight end failed to record a catch, but he did log a tackle on Trent McDuffie after the latter intercepted Jameis Winston midway through the second quarter. Johnson is firmly behind Isaiah Likely on the depth chart, though all of the Giants pass catchers figure to see their production dip with Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart, the latter of whom could miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury. |

Odell Beckham Jr. Odell Beckham Jr. Less usage in Week 2 loss
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 7:05 PM
Beckham played three of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps and did not see a target in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Beckham has logged only 14 snaps on offense without recording a target through the first two games of the regular season. Despite the lack of usage, the veteran wide receiver could factor more into the Giants' gameplan moving forward if Malik Nabers were to miss time due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during Monday's loss. The Giants will head back MetLife Stadium to host the Titans on Sunday. |

Dominic Zvada Dominic Zvada Makes both FGA in Week 2 loss
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 6:39 PM
Zvada made both of his field-goal attempts in Monday night's loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Zvada coverted 24- and 52-yard field goals against Los Angeles, accounting for all six of the Giants' points in the 22-point loss. The rookie kicker is a perfect 2-for-2 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs through two games, but his fantasy appeal was dealt a major blow with Jaxson Dart's knee injury that is expected to sideline him indefinitely. |

Darnell Mooney Darnell Mooney Leading receiver in loss
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 6:26 PM
Mooney caught two of three targets for 48 yards in Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Mooney led the team with 48 receiving yards in what was a disappointing outing for New York's offense. Starting quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury on the first possession of the game, and he is expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Mooney will look to continue to build chemistry with new starter Jameis Winston in Week 3 against the Titans. |

Devin Singletary Devin Singletary Three touches during MNF
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 6:19 PM
Singletary rushed three times for nine yards during Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Singletary took a step back in production after showing off his dual-threat abilities in Week 1 against the Cowboys, failing to garner a target versus Los Angeles. The running back finished second in the backfield with 15 offensive snaps behind Cam Skattebo (34), but more importantly ahead of Najee Harris (8), who was making his regular-season debut. Singletary will remain an unappealing fantasy option as long as Skattebo is active. |
