The New York Giants could be without two cornerbacks for Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters prior to Thursday’s practice that corners Cor’Dale Flott (groin) and Adoree Jackson (neck) will not practice on Thursday. 

Flott was injured in last week’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Daboll didn’t sound so sure that Flott would be available for the game on Monday but wasn’t quite ready to rule him out just yet.

Jackson was inactive last week after showing up on the injury report with his neck issue leading up to the game.

Also not practicing on Thursday was cornerback Tre Hawkins (ankle).

Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hip) and Ty Summers (ankle) will also be held out of practice. Of those, though, Lawrence is expected to be good to go for Monday’s game.  

Punter Jamie Gillan, who has missed two games with a hamstring strain, did some work on the side to see how he was feeling, but he wasn't able to practice. Gillan was spotted leaving the locker room last week walking with no sign of a limp.

Outside linebacker Brian Burns (groin) now has an Achilles to deal with in addition to his groin issue, but he was limited. Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (rib) went through a full practice.
