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.

Giants Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux is eligible to return from IR ahead of this week's game against the Panthers in Germany. But HC Brian Daboll told reporters Monday that he doesn't expect Thibodeaux to be activated for Week 10. The edge starter has missed the past four games following surgery to repair a wrist fracture.

Giants Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux had surgery Wednesday to repair wrist fracture. HC Brian Daboll says the scaphoid bone injury leaves Thibodeaux "week-to-week," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Giants Edge Azeez Ojulari left Sunday's loss to the Dolphins with an ankle injury. He has already lost time to a hamstring injury this year and supplied little production when he has made it onto the field. Ojulari isn't worth much IDP attention right now.

Giants Edge Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He did manage limited practices all week, so we'll see whether Ojulari can make it back for Week 3. Jihad Ward figures to join Kayvon Thibodeaux as the top edge players for the Giants. Ward has just 13 career sacks through seven seasons. There's upside to the Arizona matchup, but he's not worth the risk. Isaiah Simmons interestingly spent a little more than half of his defensive playing time on the edge in Week 1. He could factor more into the scheme against his old team. But he also played just 15 defensive snaps in the opener. He'd need a lot more playing time to be worth considering for your IDP lineup.

Giants EDGE Azeez Ojulari (ankle) and S Xavier McKinney (hand) are active for today's game against the Colts. Both carry IDP upside against a struggling offense. McKinney sits higher in our Week 17 IDP rankings, at their respective positions.

Giants EDGE Azeez Ojulari left Saturday's loss to the Vikings with an ankle injury and was ruled out before the end of the game. He said post-game X-rays came back negative, though. Ojulari said he was "sore" but that he hoped to be ready for the Week 17 meeting with the Colts. We'll see about his status this week.

The Giants have placed EDGE Azeez Ojulari on IR after he suffered a setback with his calf injury this week, according to ESPN's Jordan Ranaan. The 2nd-year player had already missed the previous 2 games. He'll now sit out for at least the next 4. Edge players Oshane Ximines and Jihad Ward stand to benefit from Ojulari's absence. Ximines is out for today's game against the Jaguars with a quad injury, which should leave Ward and Kayvon Thibodeaux playing large snap shares. The Giants also plan to play S/LB Landon Collins for the 1st time since signing him ahead of the Week 5 win over the Packers. We'll see how large a role Collins commands amid an evolving LB corps.

The Giants list EDGE starters Azeez Ojulari (calf) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's opener against the Titans. That puts the team in even worse shape in a matchup that already heavily favored Tennessee and further softens the matchup for Titans offensive players.

Giants EDGE starters Azeez Ojulari and Kayvon Thibodeaux put in limited practices Wednesday. Thibodeaux is coming off an Aug. 21 right MCL sprain, and the New York Post says he's chances of playing Sunday look "like a long shot." Ojulari is dealing with a calf issue that has had him considered day-to-day since late August.
