LEONARD WILLIAMS NEWS

Will be limited Wednesday Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Williams (knee) will be limited during Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Leonard has missed back-to-back games due to a sprained MCL, but he's returned to practice for the first time since suffering the injury, albeit in a limited fashion. The veteran defensive end is trending in the right direction, but he'll likely have to log at least one full practice this week if he's going to play in Sunday's matchup against the Packers in London.

Impact Williams will sit out for a second consecutive week after he sustained a sprained MCL in Week 2 versus Carolina.

Inactive Monday Williams (knee) was ruled inactive ahead of Monday night's game against Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Williams' absence in Week 3 is not surprising, as he was considered doubtful to play after sitting out this week's practices with a sprained MCL. In his stead, defensive ends Jihad Ward and Nick Williams should see increased usage while playing opposite Azeez Ojulari, who is set to play for the first time this season.

Unlikely to play vs. Dallas Williams (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Williams sustained an MCL sprain during Week 2 versus Carolina, and he'll most likely need to sit out at least one week as he recovers. If he can't go, Jihad Ward and Nick Williams should see increased work.

Doesn't practice Thursday Williams (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the Giants' practice report Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Williams suffered a right MCL sprain during the team's 19-16 win over the Panthers, and his inability to participate in Thursday's session doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up Monday against the Cowboys. With the former Pro-Bowler considered day-to-day, he'll likely need to return to the practice field in some capacity to prevent missing his first NFL game due to injury in eight seasons. If Williams is indeed sidelined Week 3, Nick Williams, Justin Ellis and Jihad Ward are candidates for an increased role on the Giants' defensive front.

Impact Williams suffered a right MCL sprain during the team's Week 2 win over the Panthers and is considered day-to-day. The 2015 first-round pick has never missed a game due to injury in eight seasons, but he'll face a stiff test to get ready for Week 3, though the extra day off could come in handy.

Impact Williams is reportedly considered day-to-day. While he could be in danger of missing Monday's contest against the Cowboys, the results of Williams' MRI appear to have returned encouraging results as a whole.
