Shortly after the Giants took Edge Abdul Carter third in the draft, ESPN's Jordan Ranaan reported that the team will exercise the fifth-year option on Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux's rookie contract. That extends his deal through 2026.
The Giants have seleted Edge Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft. Carter tallied 12 sacks last season among an FBS-leading 24 tackles for loss. That came in the first among his three years that saw him move primarily to the edge. Carter delivered 11 TFLs and 6.5 sacks as a true freshman, despite seeing limited pass-rush opportunities.
The Giants have agreed to a three-year deal with S Jevon Holland. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it'll pay $45.3 million, with $30.3 million guaranteed and a max value of $46.8 million. Holland is one of six defensive players the Giants have imported this week.
Giants LB Bobby Okereke will miss his third straight game Sunday against the Falcons because of a back injury. Okereke has yet to even practice over that span, which doesn't bode well for his chances of returning for Week 17.
Giants rookie S Tyler Nubin had surgery Monday to repair the ankle he injured in the Week 14 loss to the Saints. He landed on IR ahead of Sunday's loss to the Ravens but should be ready for the start of 2025.
The Giants have ruled LB Bobby Okereke out for the second straight week with a back injury. Okereke remained out of practice all week, so we'll see about his status for Week 16 (and beyond). His absence once again elevates Micah McFadden and Darius Muasau to the top and second LB spots, respectively, for Sunday's game against the Ravens. McFadden presents more value if your league scores tackles for loss. He racked up 5 of them last week and now has 8 for the year. McFadden has also reached 11 total tackles in three of his past five games.
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 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.
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 DL Dexter Lawrence (hip) and Edge Brian Burns (groin) are active for today's game against the Eagles. The Giants' DST has performed well lately and carries upside against a Philly offense that hasn't played anywhere near its peak this season.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow saved his Week 6 fantasy line with a 47-yard TD run in the first quarter of Sunday night's win over the Giants. But that accompanied a mere 208 yards and no TDs on 19-of-28 passing (67.9%). Those numbers come out to solid rates for Burrow, but the yardage was his lowest since the Week 1 loss to New England. And the Giants defense deserves credit.
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 Brian Burns is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns with a groin injury. But NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he "should be good to go." Burns remains a low-level option for IDP lineups amid a slow start to his first Giants season.
The Giants added Edge Brian Burns to the injury report Friday after a groin injury limited his practice time. He's now questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. LB Darius Muasau (knee) is also questionable after three limited practices. If Muasau winds up inactive, it would mean more playing time for LB Micah McFadden. He went from not playing in the opener to seeing 79% snap share with Muasau inactive in Week 2.
Giants DL Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) is active for tonight's game against the Packers. Use him as planned in IDP lineups, but there's likely some re-injury risk. Lawrence remained limited in practice all week despite a Week 13 bye since he missed Week 12.
Giants DT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Packers. He remained limited throughout the practice week coming off the Week 13 bye. ESPN's Jordan Ranaan said he "feels good about Lawrence's chances" of playing. We'll check Lawrence's status ahead of Monday's game.
The Giants list DT Dexter Lawrence as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He missed practice all week with a hamstring injury. He'll get the Week 13 bye to heal up. We'll see about his status for Week 14 against Green Bay.
Giants Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux has cleared the concussion protocol and will play Sunday against Washington. That's a surprising progression after he suffered his injury just last Sunday. Thibodeaux tallied 1.5 sacks in the previous meeting with Washington. He has just two games all season with more than 1 solo tackle, so the floor is low if he doesn't convert any sacks. But the upside will be worth chasing for many IDP lineups. He has moved up to DL2 territory in our Week 11 rankings.
Giants Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux suffered a concussion in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He'll need to pass through the league protocol before returning to action. That has typically meant at least one game down for the injured player since the system was implemented. In Thibodeaux's case, that would mean missing a rematch with the Washington offense that allowed him 1.5 sacks in Week 7.
