Chance to play Sunday The Giants have some hope that Toney (oblique/quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, will be able to play, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com repor...

Impact Toney hasn't played since Week 11 due to the pair of injuries, and he was also unavailable for Week 15 after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. After being reinstated to the roster Thursday, Toney closed the week as a limited participant in practice, perhaps implying that he's not fully healthy and/or conditioned. If Toney is able to avoid the inactive list and put an end to a four-game absence, he could be eased back into the mix with a lighter snap count than usual.

Gets questionable tag for Week 16 The Giants listed Toney (oblique/quadriceps) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Toney rejoined New York for practice Thursday after being reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but the Giants still have some concerns about his conditioning coming off a bout with the virus in addition to a four-game absence due to the two injuries. Given Toney's lengthy layoff, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com is pessimistic that Toney will gain clearance to play this weekend, but official word on his status won't arrive until the Giants release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Toney remains out for a fifth consecutive game, return specialist Pharoh Cooper could be needed to fill more reps at receiver alongside starters Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton. Golladay, Slayton and Cooper are the only current receivers on the 53-man roster who don't have an injury designation or aren't on a reserve list.

Comes off COVID-19 list The Giants activated Toney (oblique/quadriceps) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Toney spent a week and a half on the reserve list after testing positive for the virus. Prior to the diagnosis, he missed three games in a row due to a pair of injuries, and it's unclear where he stands with his conditioning now that he's allowed back at the Giants' facilities. In any case, Toney will have Friday's practice to prove his health before the team potentially tags him with a game-day designation ahead of Sunday's visit to Philadelphia.

To rejoin team Thursday Coach Joe Judge said he expects Toney (illness) to return to team facilities Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Toney appears to be nearing clearance from the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he won't be available for Wednesday's walkthrough practice. Oblique and quad injuries have kept Toney sidelined since Week 11, so the Giants will need to evaluate the rookie's physical shape before making a decision about his availability for Week 16 in Philadelphia.

DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Toney (oblique/quadriceps) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list in advance of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Toney tested positive for the virus Monday, and even after the NFL and NFLPA agreed to changes to the COVID-19 return-to-play protocol a few days later, the wideout apparently hasn't progressed enough in his recovery from the illness to suit up Sunday. Considering Toney hasn't played since Week 11 due to oblique and quadriceps injuries, the Giants likely would have wanted to see him practice in some fashion anyway before making him available to play.

Tests positive for coronavirus Toney (oblique) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Toney missed his third straight game Sunday against the Chargers due to an oblique injury, and he's now entered the COVID-19 protocols. The rookie first-round pick will now need to clear said protocols while also rehabbing the oblique issue, putting his status for Week 15 against the Cowboys further in question.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out again Toney (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact His return to a limited practice Thursday sparked some optimism, but it's died down rather quickly with Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com suggesting Toney didn't look comfortable at Friday's session. The rookie will miss at least one more game, while Sterling Shepard (quad) and Kenny Golladay (ribs) are listed as questionable. Toney's next chance to play will be Sunday, Dec. 19 against the Cowboys.

Coach Joe Judge on status of Mike Glennon, Kadarius Toney Head Coach Joe Judge addresses the media Friday on the injury status of Mike Glennon and Kadarius Toney for Sunday's game.

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • GIANTS.COM

Could be game-time call Coach Joe Judge suggested Toney (oblique) may be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Judge said Toney displayed progress Thursday in his return to a limited practice, the rookie's first participation of any kind since Week 11, which also was the last time he played in a game. The Giants will release their final injury report Friday afternoon, with fellow WRs Sterling Shepard (quad) and Kenny Golladay (ribs) potentially listed alongside Toney, not to mentions QBs Daniel Jones (neck) and Mike Glennon (concussion).

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

First practice since Week 11 Toney (oblique) was limited at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Prior to Thursday's session, coach Joe Judge told Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger that Toney was slated to work with the training staff on the side. Instead, the rookie second-round pick mixed into drills in some capacity, which marked his first on-field work since before a Week 11 matchup with the Buccaneers. It's unclear if Toney is drawing close to game action, but there appears to be a chance the Giants have their top three wide receivers this weekend after both Kenny Golladay (ribs) and Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) also put in limited sessions Thursday.

DECEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for another practice Toney (oblique/quadriceps) will work out off to the side during Thursday's practice and is set to be listed as a non-participant on the Giants' official injury report, Zack Rosenbl...

Impact Since playing 32 snaps on offense in the Giants' Week 11 loss to the Buccaneers, Toney hasn't been able to practice in any capacity while managing the two injuries. He's already missed two games as a result, and he looks to be on his way to a third straight absence Sunday against the Chargers. Unless Toney is able to advance to limited participation in Friday's practice, he'll likely be ruled out for Sunday when the Giants release their final injury report of the week.

DECEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Toney (oblique) didn't practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Toney remains limited to side work with the training staff, while Sterling Shepard (quad) has progressed to limited practice participation. Kenny Golladay (ribs) also missed Wednesday's practice, but he did return to Sunday's loss to Miami after suffering the injury. Toney's continued absence suggests he's unlikely to play this Sunday against the Chargers.

DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missing second straight game Toney (quadriceps/oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The pair of injuries will keep Toney sidelined for the second straight game, an unsurprising development after he was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend following no practice participation Wednesday through Friday. With Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) also joining Toney on the inactive list, the Giants will likely turn to John Ross and Collin Johnson to split work as the No. 3 receiver behind starters Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.

DECEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Sunday Toney (oblique/quad) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Miami, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact With Toney and Sterling Shepard (quad) both doubtful, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton figure to operate as New York's top two wideouts, while Pharoh Cooper could be called up from the practice squad to handle the slot/No. 3 role again. Alternatively, the Giants could turn to John Ross (illness/quad) or Collin Johnson as the No. 3 receiver for backup QB Mike Glennon on Sunday.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Toney (quad/oblique) isn't practicing Friday, making him unlikely to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's another rough week for the banged-up Giants offense, with QB Daniel Jones (neck) set to miss at least one game and quite possibly more. Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com suggests Sterling Shepard (quad) is also unlikely to play, leaving backup QB Mike Glennon with Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, Collin Johnson and maybe John Ross (illness) as his top wide receivers.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Toney (oblique/quadriceps) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Instead, Toney's activity was contained to working with the Giants' training staff on a side field, per Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York. Toney seems to be trending toward a second consecutive absence due to a pair of injuries, while fellow wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) is in a better spot after putting in a limited session Thursday. Friday's injury report will be telling for the state of the team's receiving corps heading into the weekend.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for practice Toney (quadriceps/oblique) didn't practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact The same goes for fellow wide receivers Sterling Shepard (quad) and John Ross (illness), while starting QB Daniel Jones (neck) was a limited participant. It's a typically busy week for the Giants' injury report, with the team coming off a 13-7 win over the Eagles in which Toney, Shepard and depth tight ends Kyle Rudolph (ankle) and Kaden Smith (knee) all were inactive. It's unclear which of the bunch, if any, will be ready for Sunday's game in Miami.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday, as expected Toney (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Listed as a non-participant during Week 12 prep and doubtful for this contest due to a quad issue, Toney was poised to notch his second absence of the season. Now that it's confirmed, he'll join Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) on the sideline, leaving Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, John Ross (quadriceps), Collin Johnson and Pharoh Cooper as the Giants' available wide receivers Sunday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On track to sit Toney (quadriceps), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles, won't play in the contest, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Giants elected to list Toney as doubtful following Friday's practice rather than ruling him out for the Week 12 contest in the event he made progress in the subsequent 48 hours leading up Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the rookie ultimately wasn't able to show enough improvement in his recovery from the injury. He'll be included on the Giants' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
