Wan'Dale Robinson - Targeted 12 times in opener Robinson caught six of 12 targets for 44 yards and added a 14-yard run in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Robinson was frequently targeted near the line of scrimmage and finished with five more targets than second-place Malik Nabers, though Nabers led the team with 66 receiving yards. The Giants' entire passing game will continue to struggle barring significant improvement from quarterback Daniel Jones, who threw for just 186 yards on 42 pass attempts (4.4 yards per attempt) with a 0:2 TD:INT. A Week 2 trip to Washington could be just what the Giants need, as Jones is 5-1-1 with a 10:3 TD:INT against the Commanders in his career.

Devin Singletary - Gets 14 touches in Week 1 loss Singletary rushed 10 times for 37 yards and caught four of five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Singletary worked as the lead back in his Giants debut, getting 14 touches while Eric Gray and Tyrone Tracy combined for just six. He's a noticeable downgrade in the backfield from Saquon Barkley, who accounted for 10 of New York's 25 offensive touchdowns last season and scored three in his Eagles debut Friday. Singletary's a near-lock for double-digit touches on a weekly basis, but getting into scoring range looks like it will be a slog for the Giants, who will face the Commanders in Week 2 after failing to get into the end zone in the season opener.

Daniel Jones - Dreadful in Week 1 loss Jones completed 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings. He added six rushing attempts for 15 yards.

Impact Jones failed to lead the Giants into the end zone, threw a pick-six in the third quarter and was intercepted in Minnesota's end zone in the fourth. Expectations were already low for Jones after he posted a 2:6 TD:INT before a season-ending ACL tear last season, but he failed to clear even that low bar in his return to action. He'll have a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 2, when the Giants travel to Washington to face the Commanders, against whom Jones is 5-1-1 with a 10:3 TD:INT and 324 rushing yards in his career.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Malik Nabers - Team's leading receiver in Week 1 Nabers had five catches for 66 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

Impact After failing to catch his first two targets, Nabers made his first catch late in the first quarter, finding a hole in Minnesota's zone defense to pick up 25 yards on third-and-10. He finished with a team-high 66 receiving yards, but Wan'Dale Robinson led the Giants in both targets (12) and catches (six) despite finishing with only 44 yards. Daniel Jones didn't look down the field much as the Giants failed to get into the end zone, so while Nabers clearly looks like the most talented member of New York's offense, he may be held back by the ineptitude around him. The Giants have routinely dominated the Commanders of late, which bodes well for Nabers' Week 2 outlook against a Washington secondary that allowed the most passing yards in the league last season.

Nick McCloud - Exits game with knee injur McCloud is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a knee injury, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Impact McCloud registered two solo tackles before exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's game. While McCloud remains sidelined, Adoree' Jackson will see more snaps at corner opposite starter Deonte Banks.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Carter Coughlin - Downgraded to out Coughlin (pectoral) has been downgraded to out after leaving Sunday's game against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The backup linebacker did not record a stat before exiting. Coughlin played on eight combined defensive snaps over the past two seasons for New York, though he did play on more than 300 special-teams snaps in each campaign.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Gunner Olszewski - Won't play Sunday Olszewski aggravated a groin injury in warmups and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Olszewski's absence likely won't have an affect on the Giants' plans at receiver in Week 1, but his return skills will be missed in the season opener.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Tommy DeVito - Tabbed as emergency QB DeVito is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but is designated as the emergency third quarterback, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact DeVito was on the roster bubble after the team signed Drew Lock this offseason, who will serve as backup to Daniel Jones in Week 1. DeVito will serve as insurance in case of injury to either Jones or Lock.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gunner Olszewski - Ready for Week 1 Olszewski (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 affair against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The sixth-year pro out of Bemidji State has been dealing with a groin injury for a couple of weeks, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. With Olszewski back to full health, he's expected to serve as the Giants' top kick and punt returner in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Drew Lock - Suiting up Sunday Lock (abdomen) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lock has been dealing with this abdomen issue for about a month now, but it appears the injury won't stop him from suiting up for the Giants' regular-season opener Sunday. In his first season with New York, the 2019 second-round pick is expected to serve as the Giants' top backup quarterback behind Daniel Jones.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Micah McFadden - Past groin injury McFadden (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McFadden was limited earlier in the week due to a groin injury, but it appears he's moved past the issue just in time for the Giants' regular-season opener Sunday. The 24-year-old is expected to line up alongside Bobby Okereke as part of the Giants' top inside linebacker duo in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dane Belton - Ready for Week 1 Belton (back) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The third-year safety out of Iowa was limited earlier in the week with a back injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Belton is expected to line up as New York's top strong safety in 2024 after posting 33 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, and two interceptions across 17 regular-season games last season.
