NEW YORK GIANTS NEWS

Daniel Jones - Tosses two TDs in loss Jones completed 16 of 28 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. He added 32 rushing yards on five carries.

Impact It was a better performance than Jones managed in the Giants' opener, but the team still came up short. Some bad luck contributed to the loss, as Graham Gano (hamstring) was injured on the opening kickoff Sunday, and New York was unsuccessful on one extra point try and two two-point conversions -- both pass attempts from Jones to Darius Slayton -- the rest of the afternoon. The quarterback could be benched at any point in 2024 if the Giants decide they're going to move on from him next offseason, and don't want the injury guarantee in his contract to lock a $23 million salary for 2025. For now though, Jones figures to be under center in Week 3 against the Browns.

Losing kicker Graham Gano to injury hamstrings the Giants in their loss at Washington

The New York Giants losing kicker Graham Gano to an injury on the opening kickoff turned out to be a big difference-maker in their loss at the Washington Commanders

Graham Gano - Hurts hamstring Sunday Gano exited Sunday's game at Washington due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The Giants tacked Gano on to their Week 2 injury report Saturday with a groin injury, but he didn't have a designation ahead of this contest. He proceeded to suffer a new health concern during Sunday's opening kickoff, when he remained on the turf in serious pain. It's unclear who, if anyone, may handle placekicking duties for New York, but the team has deemed Gano doubtful to return.

Tommy DeVito - Listed as emergency quarterback DeVito (coach's decision) is designated as the Giants' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact As he was in Week 1, DeVito will be third in line for snaps under center for the Giants in Week 2. If starter Daniel Jones continues to struggle to the extent that he did versus the Vikings though, the Giants' quarterback depth chart might get shuffled up sooner than later.

Gunner Olszewski - Lands on IR The Giants placed Olszewski (groin) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Olszewski hurt his groin in mid-August but was initially cleared to play against Minnesota in Week 1. However, he aggravated the injury during warmups and was subsequently ruled out. Olszewski's placement on IR means he'll need to miss at least New York's next four contests. Ihmir Smith-Marsette appears poised to take over kick and punt return duties in Olszewski's absence.

Graham Gano - Added to injury report but will play The Giants added Gano (groin) to their injury report Saturday, but he doesn't have an injury designation, and he will play Sunday versus Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' off...

Impact This is the first report of the veteran kicker dealing with a groin injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious since Gano wasn't given an injury designation. Nonetheless, fantasy managers who roster Gano may want to seek an alternate option since there's a chance that the issue could impact how New York elects to deploy him, especially in situations that would typically call for a long field-goal try. As it is, Gano's fantasy standing is shaky given the state of New York's offense -- the team put up only six points (all on Gano field goals) Week 1 against Minnesota.

Darius Muasau - Missing Week 2 Muasau (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Impact This news comes as no surprise, as the rookie linebacker out of UCLA was held out of practice all week due to a knee injury following an impressive NFL debut that featured six total tackles and a pick in Week 1. Expect Micah McFadden to see increased work in the Giants' linebacker corps while Muasau continues to recover.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Nick McCloud - Won't play Week 2 McCloud (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.

Impact The fourth-year cornerback was unable to practice all week after suffering a knee injury in Week 1, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. With McCloud sidelined, expect Adoree' Jackson and Tre Hawkins to see increased snaps in the Giants' secondary.

Darius Slayton - Ready for Sunday's contest Slayton (concussion) practiced full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact In the wake of entering the concussion protocol earlier this week, Slayton was held out of drills Wednesday before getting some non-contact work one day later. His full practice Friday was accompanied by no game status for Week 2, indicating he gained clearance from an independent neurologist. Thus, Slayton will team up with Malik Nabers (knee), Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt at wide receiver for New York's offense this weekend.

Malik Nabers - Clear for Week 2 Nabers (knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports

Impact The Giants tacked on Nabers to their Week 2 injury report Thursday as limited due to a knee issue, but coach Brian Daboll spoke on the situation Friday, relaying the rookie wide receiver was "good," and there was "no concern" regarding his status, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Indeed, that has come to pass, and Nabers will join Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton (concussion) and Jalin Hyatt as the top available WRs for QB Daniel Jones this weekend.

Malik Nabers - Expected to play Coach Brian Daboll said Friday morning that Nabers (knee) is "good" and there's "no concern" about his status for Sunday's game at Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Giants added Nabers to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, following his 5-66-0 receiving line on seven targets in a season-opening loss to the Vikings. It sounds like the injury isn't serious and he'll be ready to play come Sunday, but it's still possible the Giants list Nabers on their final injury report Friday afternoon.

Darius Slayton - Upgrades to limited Thursday Slayton (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton entered the protocol for head injuries in the wake of the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Vikings. After sitting out Wednesday's session, he was back on the field for some drills on day later, indicating he's through at least a few of the five steps of the aforementioned protocol. Slayton will have one more opportunity to get back to all activity this week, but he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday at Washington.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Malik Nabers - Has knee injury Nabers was a limited at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact With the addition of Nabers to the Giants' Week 2 injury report, two of the team's top three wide receivers now have a cloud hanging over their status ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. Fellow WR Darius Slayton also was limited as he makes his way through the concussion protocol, leaving Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt as New York's primary healthy options at the position. Friday's report may shed light on Nabers' potential to play going into the weekend.
