RICHIE JAMES NEWS

Questionable for SNF James (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact James will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up. He's making progress in that regard, as evidenced by his ability to participate in practice after sitting out Wednesday. James was injured in the Week 14 loss to the Eagles after scoring his third touchdown in four games.

Limited in return to practice James (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact James had been listed as a non-participant on the Giants' initial Week 15 practice report that was posted Wednesday, so he appears to have made some progress in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in the past 24 hours. He'll have one more chance to upgrade to full activity in practice Friday, but even if he does, James will still require clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday in Washington. If James isn't cleared to play Week 15, Kenny Golladay could see added opportunities alongside starting receivers Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins.

Not practicing Wednesday James (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact James, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, now has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday night's game against the Commanders. If he's limited or out this weekend, Kenny Golladay and Marcus Johnson would be candidates to see added Week 15 wideout snaps behind Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins.

In concussion protocol James is in concussion protocol, according to coach Brian Daboll, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Impact James likely sustained the injury at some point during Sunday's 48-22 loss to the Eagles, which the wide receiver finished with a team-high 61 receiving yards and a touchdown. He will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to take part in the Giants' critical Week 15 game against the Commanders.

Paces pass catchers in loss James secured seven of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 48-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact The veteran wideout finished with the team lead in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the day for the Giants, but those were mainly empty numbers in the lopsided loss. James helped make the final score a tad bit less embarrassing with a 19-yard touchdown grab off a pass from Tyrod Taylor with 39 seconds remaining, and he'll aim to carry over his momentum into a critical Week 15 Sunday night battle against the Commanders on the road.

Gets green light for Week 14 James (knee) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact James has appeared on injury reports for three straight weeks due to the knee issue, but he hasn't been forced to miss game action because of it. With a full practice under his belt to conclude the week, James should be primed to play north of 50 percent of snaps on offense for the third consecutive game while the Giants lack healthy and/or productive bodies at receiver. Over his previous two appearances, James has hauled in eight of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown.

Limited again Thursday James (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact James continues to operate with a cap on his reps for a second consecutive week as he deals with a knee issue. He still was active for this past Sunday's tie with the Commanders, logging 52 percent of the plays and hauling in all three passes for 20 yards. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not James heads into the weekend with a questionable designation yet again.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited at practice James (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact James appears to be dealing with the same knee issue that capped him to two limited sessions last week, but he still was able to suit up this past Sunday against the Commanders and turn a 52 percent snap share into three catches (on three targets) for 20 yards. Assuming he makes more progress as Week 14 prep ensues, James may enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production in tie James brought in all three targets for 20 yards and returned three punts for 18 yards in the Giants' 20-20 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

Impact James worked through a questionable designation due to a knee injury to fill his usual role as a short-area target for Daniel Jones. The veteran journeyman has arguably fallen into more of a No. 3 receiver role in the Giants' perpetually makeshift wideout corps behind Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins, but he's generated a solid 11-109-2 line over his last three games heading into a Week 14 home matchup against the Eagles.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Active Sunday James (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact A knee issue forced James to operate under some restrictions in practice during Week 13 prep, with his eventual regimen DNP/LP/LP. That left the fifth-year pro questionable to suit up Sunday, but he'll play through the injury. Fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) also is available, while Kenny Golladay (illness) is not. Slayton should continue to be the Giants' No. 1 option at the position this weekend, but James is poised to be next up for reps after combining for eight catches (on nine targets) for 89 yards and two touchdowns the past two contests.

Status in question for Week 13 James (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact James opened the week with an absence Wednesday due to a knee injury, but he capped it with back-to-back limited showings, leaving his availability up in the air ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton is in a similar boat, as he's listed as questionable after sitting out Thursday and Friday due to an illness. If Slayton ends up sidelined this weekend, an active James would be in line for additional targets from quarterback Daniel Jones.

DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited on estimated report James (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact After he was absent from Wednesday's session, James would have mixed into some drills if the Giants had held practice one day later. It's a positive sign as the team gears up for Sunday's game versus the Commanders, but ultimately the wideout's listing on Friday's injury report will give a sense of his potential to play through his knee issue.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee concern James didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact With touchdown catches in back-to-back games, James seemingly is on the upswing in the Giants' passing game, but his health now is a question mark as the team begins Week 13 prep. Wednesday's DNP is somewhat of a concern, but he at least has two more opportunities to mix into drills this week before he potentially is given a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Finds end zone again in Dallas James caught five of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact James led the Giants in receptions while getting into the end zone for the second straight week, although his one-yard TD grab late in the fourth quarter did little more than make the final score respectable. The wideout has seen his role in the offense increase again with Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) the latest New York wideout to be lost for the season, giving James some fantasy appeal heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Commanders.

Active in Week 12 James (knee) is listed as active Thursday at Dallas.

Impact Despite being listed as questionable for this Week 12 contest due to a knee issue, James was a near certainty to be available to the Giants offense after the team ruled out seven players Wednesday. As a result, he may be an emergency option in the event injuries hit the receiving corps Thursday. Still, in the wake of Wan'Dale Robinson's ACL tear, James will be a candidate to get in the mix at wide receiver behind Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay and Isaiah Hodgins.

NOVEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Status in question for Thursday James (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact With back-to-back limited practice sessions under his belt this week, James has given himself a chance to be available for the Thanksgiving Day game. If he's active Thursday, he'll be part of the solution at wide receiver for the Giants now that Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) has been lost for the season due to an ACL tear. Having said that, James hasn't done much on 21.7 snaps per game this season, tallying a 23-239-1 receiving line on 29 targets.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Tuesday James (knee) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to a knee issue, James was able to mix in into some drills one day later. Whether or not he's putting himself on a path to be available Week 12 remains to be seen, but if James is able to play Thursday in Dallas, more WR reps could be up for grabs following Wan'Dale Robinson's season-ending ACL tear. Other candidates for those snaps are Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay, Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson and David Sills.

NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee injury James was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact James caught all three of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Lions, but he appears to have suffered a knee injury as well. The Giants held a walkthrough Monday, so the injury report is merely an estimate, but it's still disappointing to see James unavailable, especially with Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) likely out for the remainder of the campaign. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but James will have two more days to practice before the team has to make a decision on his status for the Giants' Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Cowboys.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores TD late James corralled all three of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions.

Impact James was having a quiet game before scoring a nine-yard touchdown in garbage time of the blowout loss. Normally we could write off this performance as a fluke, but starting wideout Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) left the game in the fourth quarter, which could open up some targets for the speedy backup if the latter is unable to suit up with a short week on tap. If that were to be the case, James could generate some deep-league interest against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

Out of concussion protocol Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that James cleared the concussion protocol, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact James suffered a concussion during the Giants' Week 8 loss at Seattle, but with the benefit of the team's Week 9 bye, he's good to go in advance of Sunday's game against the Texans. As evidence, after he was spotted without a red non-contact jersey at Wednesday's practice, he was deemed a full participant, per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. Consequently, James will join Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, Marcus Johnson, David Sills and potentially Kenny Golladay (knee) as New York's available wide receivers Week 10.
