New York Giants Final Injury Report: Saquon, Leonard Williams, Adoree' Jackson Good to Go

In this story:


New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) and cornerback Adoree' Jackson (knee/neck0 were among those players who did not receive an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and are thus good to go.

Barkley and Jackson were among several players who have been limited all week in practice, but the managed workloads have allowed them to pace themselves this week. It's unclear if both players will take their usual workloads Sunday, but the coaching and training staffs will no doubt be keeping a careful watch on the players for any signs of distress.

In addition to Barkley and Jackson not receiving a final injury designation, cornerback Darnay Holmes (quad) and fullback Chris Myarick (ankle), who were also limited, did not receive a final injury designation.

Those who did receive a designation include defensive backs Cor'Dale Flott (calf), Tony Jefferson (foot), and Jason Pinnock (ankle), and receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring), all of whom were listed as OUT for Sunday.

Outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari (calf), limited this week in practice, was listed as doubtful. Tight end Tanner Hudson (illness), receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee), and defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee) were all listed as questionable for Sunday. 

Wiliams and Robinson were among those Giants who were also limited on Friday.

Punter Jamie Gillan (not injury related ), quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion), and outside linebacker Jihad Ward (not injury related) were full practice participants.

 Thursday Injury Report: Saquon Limited, But No Concerns Regarding Sunday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) remains limited in practice this week as his workload is managed. However, the fifth-year running back echoed head coach Brian Daboll's sentiments that he would not be limited Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens by his injury.

"Shoulder feels pretty good," Barkley said. "Obviously, I was able to go back out there and finish the game. I’ve just been rehabbing it, being smart. But I’m excited for us to get a chance to go against a really good football team."

Meanwhile, defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee) continues to trend in the right direction after missing three games with a sprained MCL. Williams' return to the lineup would come just in the nick of time, given that the Ravens are a run-heavy offense. 

While Williams was sidelined, the Giants run defense allowed an average of 139.6 yards against the run. With Williams in the lineup, the run defense allowed 119.5 yards against the run, though that average is slightly skewed since Williams left the second half of the Carolina game with his injury. He was listed as a limited practice participant.

Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor has cleared the concussion protocol, which will save the Giants from having to use a second elevation on Davis Webb this weekend. 

In other injury news, receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) continue to trend in the wrong direction. Golladay will likely miss his second straight game, while Toney hasn't been able to get on the field since Week 2.

Also not practicing for the Giants on Thursday were cornerback Cord'Dale Flott (calf), defensive back Jason Pinnock (ankle), tight end Tanner Hudson (illness), outside linebacker Jihad Ward (rest), and safety Tony Jefferson (foot).

Receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee), edge Azeez Ojulari (calf), cornerback Darnay Holmes (quad), and fullback Chris Myarick (ankle) were also among those who were limited on Thursday.

Wednesday Injury Report: Toney, Golladay Continue Trending in Wrong Direction

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who hasn’t played since Week 2 due to a hamstring issue, was not expected to practice Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll.

Toney, who has two catches for zero yards, didn’t make the trip last week to London with the team, instead remaining behind to receive treatment on his ailing hamstring. Daboll revealed that the second-year receiver tweaked his other hamstring in the week leading up to the team’s Week 5 game in London against the Green Bay Packers.

In addition to Toney, receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) was not expected to practice. Golladay, who has two catches for 22 yards, was injured in the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears and also didn’t make the trip to London last week so he could receive treatment for his ailment.

Others who were no-go’s at Wednesday’s practice, per Daboll, include cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (calf) and safety Tony Jefferson (foot). Depending on the severity of Jefferson’s injury, the Giants could add Landon Collins, who was signed to the practice squad last week, to the 53-man roster, where the Giants currently have an opening after placing rookie defensive lineman D.J. Davidson on injured reserve.

Several Giants are also expected to be limited, including outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari (calf), defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee), receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (knee/neck), running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) and Tyrod Taylor (concussion).
