Limited Wednesday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Ford-Wheaton has been sidelined for each of the Giants' last two games, and Wednesday's limited session suggests that the team's Week 11 bye wasn't enough time for him to recover from his Achilles issue.

Impact Ford-Wheaton tried to play through his Achilles issue in Week 8 but was unable to finish the game, and then he sat out entirely in Week 9. Now his status for Week 10 is in jeopardy, and he'll likely need to practice to some extent Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive for Week 9 Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact As expected, Ford-Wheaton will be in street clothes after drawing a doubtful tag. He played through the Achilles issue during the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, but he may have suffered a setback, as he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday of Week 9 prep. Ford-Wheaton's absence shouldn't impact the Giants' offense, as he's played only two offensive snaps in seven appearances, but he is one of the team's top special-teams players.
