New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 2.
Footballguys view: Robinson got in a limited practice on Thursday too. If you need him in your deep PPR league, make sure he is active against the Cowboys on Sunday morning before plugging him into your lineup. |
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (groin) is expected to play in the Week 2 game despite his groin injury, according to head coach Brian Daboll.

New York Giants OT Andrew Thomas (foot) was at practice and participated in drills on Thursday, Sept. 11. He was inactive for Week 1 and missed practice on Wednesday.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Sept. 11.
Footballguys view: Robinson should be good for Week 2 against the Cowboys. With his injury status and the matchup, Robinson is more of a WR4/flex play for Fantasy GMs out there. |
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (back) will be a full participant in practice Thursday, Sept. 11.
Footballguys view: A full participation makes us fell a lot better about Nabers' availability. A back injury is nothing to mess around with, but Nabers seems to be on the right track here. |
New York Giants DT Dexter Lawrence (non-injury), LB Micah McFadden (foot), WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) and OT Andrew Thomas (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 10. LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (calf) and WR Malik Nabers (back) were limited during practice.

New York Giants QB Russell Wilson will remain the starting quarterback for Week 2 as head coach Brian Daboll said rookie QB Jaxson Dart remains the QB2.
Footballguys view: The Giants have committed to Wilson for one more week...which is a bad sign because it's Week 2! The offensive line is not great, and that's not going to help an aging Wilson. It's only a matter of time before Dart sees the field, and behind that line he's going to be tested when that happens. |

Link to storyNew York Giants LB Micah McFadden (foot) will have surgery on his foot, a source said Tuesday, Sept. 9. He is expected to miss significant time, although he is not expected to miss the season, according to beat writer Jordan Raanan.
Footballguys view: McFadden was carted off the field during the team's Week 1 loss to the Commanders. Testing revealed a significant foot injury that will require the 2022 fifth-rounder to undergo surgery. As CBSSports.com suggested, it's a substantial loss to the Giants' defense, as McFadden led the team with 107 combined tackles across 14 regular-season games in 2024. Darius Muasau is expected to start alongside Bobby Okereke at inside linebacker for as long as McFadden is sidelined. |
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback for the Giants in Week 2, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com suggested, at some point, the Giants will turn to their rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart. But it won't be this week. Wilson completed just 17-of-37 passes for 168 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. But he was also the Giants' leading rusher with 44 yards on eight carries, which led to Daboll acknowledging his quarterback wasn't the only issue. But if Wilson continues to underwhelm, the calls to turn to Dart will only get louder. The Giants will be in Dallas next Sunday for their second road game to start the 2025 season. |

Giants coach Brian Daboll was asked after Sunday's 21-6 season-opening loss to the Commanders if it was fair to say that quarterback Russell Wilson will be the team's starter next week against the division rival Cowboys. His answers were hardly definitive just moments after a contest in which first-round pick Jaxson Dart served as the team's backup ahead of veteran Jameis Winston. "We're going to get home and look at our game," Daboll said when asked if he would consider starting Dart next week.
Footballguys view: Wilson went 17-of-37 passing for 168 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the loss. He was especially ineffective under pressure, completing just 2 of 12 passes for 26 yards with two sacks and two scrambles. New York managed just 231 yards of total offense. The Giants did have a package planned for Dart, although they didn't use it in the contest. Wilson played all 62 offensive plays. We'll see if that changes this week, as the Giants begin preparing for the Cowboys. |

Link to storyNew York Giants QB Russell Wilson finished 17-of-37 for 168 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders. Wilson also ran for a team-high 44 yards on eight carries.
Footballguys view: It won't be very long before Jaxson Dart starts. The Giants offense was morose in Week 1, but they will have a longer and better second act with Wilson on the sidelines. |

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart could make his NFL debut in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders, according to multiple sources. The team has designed a package of offensive plays for him, although there's no guarantee that head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will actually use him.
Link to storyNew York Giants OT Andrew Thomas (foot) is listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. When asked by reporters on Friday Sept. 5, whether he'd play in the opener, Thomas responded, 'We'll see.' He's currently managing pain and soreness and will base his decision on risk of re-injury, ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan reported. Thomas, however, did take first team reps on Friday.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Malik Nabers (back) missed practice on Friday, Sept. 5, but is expected to play against the Washington Commanders.
Link to storyNew York Giants OT Andrew Thomas (foot) was limited in practice on Friday, Sept. 5, and is doubtful for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. WR Malik Nabers (back) did not practice on Friday but is expected to play.
Footballguys view: Thomas is the Giants best offensive lineman, so this is notable. He had surgery to repair a lis franc injury last October and is still not able to play. The Giants should be conservative about his return to the field to avoid a setback that could sideline him for a big chunk of the season. |
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (back) is dealing with back tightness, but he's good to go for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
Footballguys view: For a young player, Nabers has a lot of chronic ailments. Also like a veteran, Nabers is a "gamer" and doesn't need practice to play at a high level. If he has a strong debut against the Commanders, we can probably put any worries about his back and foot problems on the back burner. If he doesn't look like himself, we'll be watching the Week 2 practice reports closely. |

Link to storyNew York Giants QB Jaxson Dart is the backup quarterback on the team's unofficial Week 1 depth chart.
Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com notes, depth charts released by teams always carry the caveat that they are unofficial, so it's not a sure thing that Dart is in that role, but it fits with how things were shaping up during training camp and the preseason. Sunday's inactive list will be the final determination, as the Giants will almost certainly have two active quarterbacks with the third-stringer available on an emergency basis only. But for now, Dart looks like next man up if something happens to starter Russell Wilson. |
New York Giants WR Beaux Collins had a 'spectacular' showing in offseason workouts and training camp, according to Bucky Brooks of NFL.com, and Brooks believes Collins could develop into a No. 3 receiver
Footballguys view: 2023 third round pick Jalin Hyatt had a poor summer, so Collins could be active on game days and even get a few snaps against Washington in the season opener. He reeled in a deep ball from Russell Wilson for an 80-yard gain in one of the highlights of the preseason. |
New York Giants CB Rico Payton (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Aug. 29.
Link to storyNew York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) has not practiced this week and is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
Footballguys view: Johnson was a surprise rookie contributor last year and he's one of the fastest tight ends in the league, so there was some anticipation that he could get onto the fantasy radar this year. His injury is a bit mysterious, so we shouldn't be surprised if he's out for Week 1. Daniel Bellinger would be the next man up. |
New York Giants OT Andrew Thomas (foot) said he is not sure if he will be available for the Week 1 game.
Footballguys view: If Thomas still doesn't feel right after suffering a lisfranc injury in 2024, the team shouldn't put him out there against Washington. James Hudson was signed to a two year, $12 million deal in the offseason, but fifth round pick Marcus Mbow has outperformed him and might be the better option if Thomas is out. We can't assume that Thomas will ready for Week 2 against the Micah Parsons-less Cowboys if he's not playing in the opener. |
