WR Malik Nabers (toe) and RB Tyrone Tracy (ankle) will both practice Friday, per Brian Daboll.

Giants are “hopeful” they play Sunday vs. Colts.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, Devin Singletary

Good news for any semblance of offense for the team this weekend. If both are cleared, treat them as respective WR2 and RB2s.

WR Malik Nabers (toe) and C John Michael Schmitz (ankle) among those not practicing Thursday, per Brian Daboll.

Wouldn’t rule them out for Sunday just yet but not a great sign.

“See where we’re at (Friday),” Daboll said.

This would be quite the blow to a team already devoid of receiving talent, and would be the third missed game of the rookie's season. He basically only needs one game to surpass 100 receptions and 1,000 yards, so hopefully he can get out there at least one more time. He should be a volume-based WR2 if he plays.

Make that another day of practice for Arizona Cardinals RBs James Conner and Trey Benson.

A good sign for their respective statuses this Saturday.

Related Players: Michael Carter

If both are cleared ahead of kickoff, we should assume a pretty standard split, with Benson probably taking a slight uptick in work. Consider them respective RB2 and RB4s if that is the case.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon did not rule out RBs James Conner or Trey Benson, adding they still have a chance to play this week.

That being said, Carter would be in for a larger workload if they have to miss Saturday, the post went on to say. The Cardinals play on Saturday in the late game so owners will have plenty of time to make the decision on any of these players. Carter did get five carries for 18 yards and also caught five balls for 30 yards.

Malik Nabers will not practice today and has a hip flexor. A new injury Giants. Brian Daboll not sure about Sunday. Nabers is not ruled out at this time.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt

If Nabers ends up missing this week, Robinson is definitely a target for PPR leagues, but the rest of the group should probably be faded. This likely would also bump Tyrone Tracy's floor a tad, making him a no-doubt RB2 against a leaky Saints run defense.

Titans HC Brian Callahan said WR Treylon Burks underwent surgery on his torn ACL and he will be out for the season.

Related Players: Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Burks never could find a holding in the starting lineup, with or without DeAndre Hopkins on the team. It's been a disappointing first three seasons for the former first-round rookie, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he looks for a fresh start as we head into 2025.

Giants placed DT Dexter Lawrence and TE Theo Johnson on season-ending injured reserve.

Related players: Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, Greg Dulcich

Since Week 9, a span of four games, Johnson averaged nearly six targets a game and in Week 13 he tied a season high of five catches with a season high of 54 yards against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Johnson will likely see a new coaching staff in 2025, but also a new QB and hopefully an improved offense overall.

Coach Brian Daboll added the promising rookie TE Theo Johnson is also likely done for the season with a foot injury.

Related Players: Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, Greg Dulcich

Tough break for Johnson, who had been more of an intriguing fantasy asset as of late. None of the Giants tight ends should be rostered for now, though Dulcich is a name to keep in mind through the rest of the season.

Rookie WR Malik Nabers is questionable for Sunday.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Theo Johnson, Tyrone Tracy

Nabers missing this weekend would put a cherry on top of a wild week for the Giants. Tommy DeVito would operate with Robinson as his WR1, which makes him a volume-based target, particularly in PPR leagues, along with Tracy taking more underneath opportunities.

A separate report *did* mention that Nabers plans to play despite the designation, so don't panic quite yet.

Tyjae Spears in concussion protocol.

Related players: Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut

Spears was back in action in Week 10 and essentially split the work with seven carries and a team-high 47 yards rushing with three catches for four yards. Pollard out-touched Spears 13-10 in the game. This past week Spears exited early but the running game was held in check. If Spears can't play in Week 12, Pollard would likely lead the way, but it would be a tough matchup against the Texans.
