NEW YORK GIANTS NEWS

Cor'Dale Flott - Upgrades to limited work Flott (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott was unable to practice Thursday after sustaining a groin injury in the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles. However, the third-year pro upgraded to limited participation Friday, suggesting he could suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Steelers. Flott's participation Saturday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through his groin issue in Week 8.

Dexter Lawrence II - Limited Friday Lawrence (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Lawrence appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Steelers, as he upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited session Friday. His participation Saturday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through his hip injury in Week 8.

Bryce Ford-Wheaton - Full go Friday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton upgraded from limited work Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his Achilles injury. Now that the West Virginia product has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Giants' top special-teams aces in Week 8.

Brian Burns - Misses Friday's practice Burns (groin/Achilles) didn't practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Burns appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Steelers, as he downgraded from limited work Thursday to a DNP on Friday. The first-year Giant will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation in Saturday's practice to have a chance at suiting up in Week 8.

Tre Hawkins III - Misses practice Thursday Hawkins (ankle) did not participate at the Giants' practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Hawkins popped up on the injury report Thursday, dealing with an apparent ankle injury after he recorded four solo tackles in the team's 28-3 loss to the Eagles in Week 7. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to the practice field prior to Monday's matchup with the Steelers.

Bryce Ford-Wheaton - Now dealing with Achilles injury Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton was able to play through a shoulder injury during the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles, during which he played 30 snaps on special teams and one on offense. He appears to have picked up an Achilles injury during the loss, however, and his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his ability to play Monday against the Steelers.

Brian Burns - Limited to open week Burns (groin/Achilles) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Burns has been playing through a groin injury for most of the regular season, so his presence on the Giants' first injury report of the week isn't surprising. However, it appears he may have tweaked his Achilles during the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles, so his practice participation over the next two days is worth monitoring. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Burns has logged 27 tackles (18 solo), including 4.0 sacks, six pass breakups and one forced fumble.

Dexter Lawrence II - Unable to practice Thursday Lawrence (hip) is not practicing Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lawrence managed to play through his hip injury during New York's loss to the Eagles in Week 7, though he handled a season-low 58 percent of snaps. Despite a managed workload, Lawrence still managed to log five solo tackles and 2.0 sacks. Lawrence has already racked up a career-high 9.0 sacks in seven appearances, so as long as he's able to suit up Monday versus the Steelers, he'll remain a must-start fantasy option in IDP formats.

Armon Watts - Signs with Big Blue The Giants signed Watts off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Watts was released from the Patriots' injured reserve Oct. 2 due to an unspecified injury, but he was healthy enough to catch on with the Giants' practice squad after working out with Big Blue on Oct. 15. Now on the active roster, the 2019 sixth-round pick will provide rotational depth at defensive end behind starters Elijah Chatman and Rakeem Nunez-Roches. Watts appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023 and finished with 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks.

OCTOBER 22

Greg Joseph - Makes lone kick Week 7 Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles.

Impact Joseph missed a pair of field-goal tries Week 6 but was retained for Week 7 with Graham Gano (hamstring) not yet ready to return. New York's offense was woeful against Philadelphia, so Joseph didn't get much of a chance to redeem himself, though he did score the team's only points on a 38-yard field goal just before halftime. Joseph is now a tolerable 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts on the campaign, but he'll likely give way to Gano as soon as the latter is able to return, potentially as soon as Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

Theo Johnson - Absent from passing game Week 7 Johnson was not targeted in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

Impact The Giants' passing game was abhorrent as a whole Sunday, as Daniel Jones and Drew Lock combined for just 105 passing yards while completing a collective 17 of 29 pass attempts. Daniel Bellinger was the only one of the team's tight ends to even see a target, and he received just one look, which he caught for 11 yards. There's no reason to believe that Bellinger has usurped Johnson on the depth chart since the latter logged 90 percent of New York's offensive snaps in the ugly loss to Bellinger's 12 percent, so Johnson should have an opportunity to bounce back in Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

Wan'Dale Robinson - Many targets yield minor production Robinson reeled in six of nine targets for 23 yards Sunday in a Week 7 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Even with rookie Malik Nabers back from a two-week absence due to a concussion, Robinson continued to be peppered with plenty of looks from QB Daniel Jones, as he led the team with nine targets. However, his six receptions resulted in just 23 yards, with Robinson's long gain of the day going for just six yards. The third-year wideout has been almost exclusively a short-field option for the Giants this season, as he's averaging just 7.0 yards per reception and has just one catch of 20-plus yards. Robinson has at least eight targets and five catches in six of his seven contests this season, giving him a relatively safe floor in PPR fantasy leagues, though he's much less of an asset in non-PPR formats given that he's been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards five times on the campaign.

Darius Slayton - Quiet in Nabers' return Slayton caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact With star rookie Malik Nabers out the previous two weeks due to a concussion, Slayton had stepped as one of QB Daniel Jones' primary targets, totaling 14 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown. However, Nabers returned Sunday, and Slayton predictably faded back into a lesser role. New York's offense struggled as a whole in the contest -- the team totaled a meager 105 passing yards -- and Slayton was on the field for all 58 of the team's snaps, so there's reason to believe the performance was a low point rather than a new norm. Still, it's been pretty clear this season that the veteran wideout is going to struggle to put up useful fantasy numbers whenever the frequently targeted Nabers is on the field.

Brian Burns - Logs sack versus Eagles Burns registered four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sack, in the Giants' loss versus Philadelphia on Sunday.

Impact Burns was one of four New York defenders to bring down Jalen Hurts for a sack during Sunday's blowout loss. The 2019 first-round pick has now recorded a sack in three of his past four games played.
