* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related

  • Both Chris Jones and Tyrann Mathieu were back at practice as full participants on Saturday. Neither player carries a game status designation for Monday night.

  • Mike Remmers and Charvarius Ward, who both popped up on the injury report on Friday, remain limited in practice. They’ll be questionable for Monday night. I wouldn’t be so sure that either player is good to go for the game, especially Ward.

  • Chad Henne, who injured his throwing finger on Friday was limited, but he doesn’t carry a game status designation.

  • Michael Burton, who missed last week with a pec injury, was a full participant in practice on Friday. He should be good to return to action in Week 8.

  • Khalen Saunders won’t play this week due to knee swelling. Anthony Hitchens will miss his second consecutive week with a tricep/elbow injury.

* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related

  • The Giants ruled out two big names on offense in Saquon Barkley and Kenny Golladay. Kadarius Toney will be a game-time decision on Monday night. They could be without a lot of firepower on the offensive side of the ball.

  • Sterling Shepard and Kaden Smith are both listed as questionable for Week 8. Shepard was limited all week while Smith was a non-participant on Saturday.

  • The Giants also ruled out three defenders, which means they’ll be shorthanded on that side of the ball too. Nate Ebner and Carter Coughlin are depth, but Lorenzo Carter is their starting SAM linebacker.
