Rookie RB Tyrone Tracy has progressed in the concussion protocol and is practicing in a red jersey. Will be a limited participant, per Brian Daboll.

“Trending in the right direction.”

Related Players: Devin Singletary, Eric Gray

He was reported as "in the early stages" just yesterday, so this is obviously much better news 24 hours later. Singletary should be considered a fringe RB2/3 if Tracy misses, but the rookie would be a locked in RB2 if he goes.

RB Tyrone Tracy is in the “early stages” of the concussion protocol, per Brian Daboll. Will do some work on the side with trainers at Wednesday’s practice.

Not a good look for Tracy's potential Week 9 availability. If he misses the game, we can consider Singletary a fringe RB2/3 in fantasy once again.

The 2-6 Giants are not yet making a quarterback change.

Coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Tuesday that Daniel Jones remains the starting quarterback going forward.

The Giants host the Commanders on Sunday. The story mentioned that at some point, the Giants will likely bench Jones in order to avoid his $23 million injury guarantee for 2025. They’re apparently not at that point yet, the story added. The other options behind Jones are Lock and DeVito.

Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. told me as he was exiting the locker room that he is in the concussion protocol, so he was unavailable to answer questions due to the protocol's policy.

Tracy Jr. had a career night with 145 yards and a TD in losing effort, the post went on to say. Tracy has looked like the real deal and was running head of veteran Singletary on Monday night. The trend has been for players to miss their next game when in protocol, so Tracy's status for Week 9 is certainly in doubt at this point. But, he looks to have taken over as the Giants RB1, so when he returns he will likely remain a solid fantasy play in lineups again. The Giants host the Commanders in Week 9 in an earlier Sunday contest so owners should have plenty of time to adjust lineups if Tracy's status comes down to the wire.

Brian Daboll reiterated what he said in his post-game presser yesterday: Daniel Jones is the starting QB for Giants "going forward" to Pittsburgh and MNF.

Daboll went on to say in the post that Jones gives Giants their best chance, and the issues were collective, not solely on Jones. Lock didn't do much better, so Jones gets at least one more chance against a tough Steelers defense in Week 8.

Giants WR Malik Nabers — who had missed the last two weeks due to a confusion and also was listed this week with a groin injury — officially is off the injury, report and good to go Sunday against the Eagles.

Nabers is a slam-dunk fantasy asset here in Week 7, while Wan'Dale Robinson returns back to his fringe WR3/4 role.

On the Giants RB situation: Devin Singletary will return on Sunday vs. Eagles. But Tyrone Tracy will still see significant playing time.

“He’s earned it,” coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s done a good job. So he’ll get plenty of playing time.”

Daboll says Tracy, Singletary and Eric Gray will all play. The Giants intend to keep an eye on Singletary to see how he’s doing off groin injury. So they will likely ease him back into game action.

A three-headed backfield doesn't sound too appealing for fantasy purposes, but Tracy is likely the best play of the bunch. Consider him an RB3 for Week 7.

WR Malik Nabers (concussion) will have a full practice on Thursday. He will then meet with an independent neurologist later today if things go well to see if he’s cleared.

Meanwhile, DT Dexter Lawrence (hip) and OLB Brian Burns (groin) will miss their second straight practice.

The Giants passing attack has predictably slowed down since losing their stud rookie receiver, with Slayton's 57 yards leading the way in Week 6. If Nabers returns, expect him to resume his place as the engine to this offense.

WR Malik Nabers (concussion) has made “progress” and will practice in a red jersey on Wednesday, per Brian Daboll.

The Giants are “optimistic” and they’re hoping he makes the next step on Thursday.

Devin Singletary still dealing with a groin problem. Coach Brian Daboll said “we’ll see” about his starting running back.

Could be another Tyrone Tracy game.

Related Players: Eric Gray

While Eric Gray was technically the first running back to touch the ball last week, he would fumble the ball on the 1-yard line later in the same drive and spend the rest of the game firmly in the doghouse. Tracy took his opportunity and ran for 129 yards, so you have to figure he'll get the chance to repeat his performance if Singletary is out. The Bengals defense has been flat all year, so Tracy profiles as an RB2 with upside for more.
