New York Giants

Jermaine Eluemunor

OT

questionable

Andrew Thomas

OT

Thomas ended Week 7 prep with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's contest. He's been working through a groin injury the last few weeks but hasn't missed a game this season.

Tremaine Edmunds

LB

Edmunds suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints in Week 6. With the veteran linebacker done for the year, Micah McFadden will take over as a starter alongside Arvell Reese. Edmunds will finish his first season with the Giants with 50 tackles (32 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across six regular-season games.

Greg Newsome II

CB

Newsome entered the league's concussion protocol during the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Saints, and he was held out of practice all week. The Giants are thin in the secondary, so one of Colton Hood or Nic Jones figures to start opposite Deonte Banks at outside cornerback. New York is on a bye for Week 8, so Newsome's next chance to play is Week 9 against Philadelphia on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Jevon Holland

S

Holland entered the league's concussion protocol following the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Saints. He was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, but he won't be permitted to play Sunday unless he's cleared to do so by an independent neurologist. Tyler Nubin (neck) is also listed as questionable, so Jason Pinnock and Ar'Darius Washington could be the Giants' starting safeties for Week 7.

Paulson Adebo

CB

Adebo has missed the Giants' last five games while on IR due to a knee injury. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he strung together three consecutive limited sessions to draw the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's contest. Adebo's return would boost the Giants' secondary and give the team another contributor on special teams.

Theo Johnson

TE

Johnson's reps in each of the first two practices of Week 7 prep were limited due to a neck injury, and he was sidelined entirely for Friday's session. He's trending toward missing a second consecutive game, so Thomas Fidone and Chris Manhertz would both be in line for more work behind Isaiah Likely in the event that Johnson is ruled out for Sunday's contest.

Cam Skattebo

RB

Skattebo didn't log a single carry during the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints in Week 6, spending most of the game on the bench. That lack of production stemmed from his critical fumble during overtime against the Commanders in Week 5, but following the release of Najee Harris on Tuesday, Ranaan indicates that Skattebo is expected to reclaim a key role in the Giants' backfield this weekend alongside Tyrone Tracy, with Devin Singletary also in line for work.

Charlie Jones

WR

Chris Manhertz

TE

Colton Hood

CB

Hood wasn't able to practice at full speed Wednesday due to the concussion that knocked him out of the Giants' game versus the Saints in Week 6 early, but it didn't hold him back Thursday. He'll still have to clear league concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up in Week 7 at Houston, so there's no guarantee yet that he'll be available come Sunday.

Jordan Stout

P

Kayvon Thibodeaux

LB

Darnell Mooney

WR

Mooney wasn't cleared to return to this past Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints after injuring his neck in the fourth quarter, but he evidently responded well to treatment and faced no restrictions as the Giants returned to the field to begin Week 7 prep. With Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely demanding most of the looks in the passing game this season, Mooney has struggled to carve out consistent weekly volume. Through six appearances, Mooney has been targeted 19 times and has recorded an 8-109-0 receiving line while also adding 29 yards on two carries.

Marcus Mbow

OT

questionable

J.J. McCarthy

QB

Things had been trending in this direction after McCarthy's impressive performance in relief of Jameis Winston in Week 6. Harbaugh made it official Wednesday afternoon as the team looks to see what it has in the recently acquired McCarthy. He completed 11 of 21 passes for 243 yards with a touchdown and a pick and had a pair of 40-yard completions in limited action against the Saints.

Jameis Winston

QB

After Jaxson Dart (knee) went down with a likely season-ending injury in a Week 2 loss to the Rams, Winston stepped in as the starter for the subsequent four games. Though Winston led the Giants to a respectable 2-1-1 record while completing 60.3 percent of his passes for 6.5 yards per attempt and a 7:4 TD:INT during that stretch, he had a rough showing in this past Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints before being pulled early in the fourth quarter. McCarthy proceeded to take over under center and nearly guided the Giants all the way back from a 24-point deficit, so he'll be rewarded with the starting nod for at least Week 7. Given that the 23-year-old McCarthy is a recent first-round pick who could have a longer-term future in New York or represent an appealing trade chip down the road, it wouldn't be surprising if he was given a long leash as the team's starter.

Arvell Reese

LB

Reese had another solid outing despite the loss, as he managed to recover the first fumble of his career. The 21-year-old has gotten off to a strong start in his rookie season, racking up 49 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery across his first six games.

Tyler Nubin

S

questionable

Dominic Zvada

PK

Zvada had a strong Week 6 bounceback after going 2-for-5 on field-goal attempts in Week 5. The kicker made 30-yard and 41-yard field goals in the loss, so he still may struggle with distance and consistency as the season continues.

Malachi Fields

WR

Fields' eight targets were a career high for the rookie third-rounder and third most among Giants pass catchers behind Malik Nabers (15) and Isaiah Likely (11). However, Fields had only two receptions to show for it, and he's logged two catches in each of the first six games of his NFL career. The Giants will hit the road for Week 7 against the Texans, and Fields could be working with J.J. McCarthy rather than Jameis Winston for that contest.

Devin Singletary

RB

Singletary was back in action Sunday after being a healthy scratch in each of the Giants' three games prior to Week 6. Three of his four carries went for two yards or fewer, although he did log a nine-yard rush and 19-yard catch on back-to-back plays early in the fourth quarter. Singletary's 31 offensive snaps were most among Giants running backs, but the team's backfield situation is a mess, given Cam Skattebo saw the field for only six offensive snaps and did not record a carry. The Giants will hit the road for Week 7 against the Texans on Oct. 25.

CJ Okoye

DT

Jake Haener

QB

Isaiah Likely

TE

The tight end came through with another big performance and connected with J.J. McCarthy on a 24-yard TD in the fourth quarter after the young QB had replaced Jameis Winston under center. It's reassuring that Likely remained involved even after the switch at quarterback, and he's seen double-digit targets in three straight games, delivering a 24-259-3 line on 36 targets as the team's No. 2 pass catcher behind Malik Nabers. Likely will look to keep rolling in Week 7 against the Texans, regardless of who is throwing him the ball.
