Team news: New York Giants | Page 13

HC Brian Daboll reportedly sounds optimistic that Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) will be back for Week 6 after missing all but nine snaps of the 2022 season.

Robinson can be used in a variety of ways —including out of the backfield— so it's difficult to say exactly who his return will affect the most. The answer may just be Daniel Jones, who has been throwing to a myriad of options that would be third or fourth on the depth charts of most other teams. Judging by his preseason usage, when he ran 86% of his routes from the slot, he may be rotating into the lineup for Richie James Jr. in his first week back in action.

Brian Daboll says Daniel Jones (ankle) “came out good” after last week’s game.
Saquon Barkley (shoulder) will be out there practicing.

The tweet added Jones feels better today than he did last Wednesday, so that's great news for owners. The team expects Barkley to be limited with his shoulder issue. Looks like both players should be good to go for Week 6.

Per Connor, Kadarius Toney tweaked his hamstring on Thursday. It’s the other hamstring now, Brian Daboll says. So that’s why he’s not here & out again.

The Giants have a bottom-five receiving group, if not the worst in the NFL, and Toney has been unable to be part of the solution. With Daniel Jones facing his own issues, Saquon Barkley may touch the ball 25-30 times in Week 5 against the Packers.

Wan'Dale Robinson will also be limited.

We just reported Toney is also back in a limited basis. This is just what the Giants needed as they've taken hit after hit at the WR position. We'll keep track of their progress this week but this is a positive sign.

Daniel Jones went through all of media viewing portion of today’s practice.

The tweet said Jones did both individual stuff and team drills and the author commented that was was moving well. The Giants are optimistic Jones will be able to play in Week 5. The Giants and Packers are in London this week so owners will have time for a backup plan if they are counting on Jones and he's a last-minute call.

Kenny Golladay's tenure with the New York Giants is taking another disappointing turn. The wideout suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's win over the Bears in Week 4 and is not expected to travel with the team to London where they are scheduled to take on the Packers at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, according to the NFL Network.

The Giants desperately need the return of Toney and Robinson to the lineup and both are getting closer according to reports last week, but there is still no official word about their Week 5 status in London. That leaves James, Sills and Slayton as the team's top-three WRs as of now.

Giants QB Daniel Jones, who left Sunday’s win with an ankle injury, is considered day-to-day. While tests will continue, there is some optimism that he plays Week 5.

Both Jones and backup Tyrod Taylor (concussion) left the team's game on Sunday against the Bears, leaving Saquon Barkley as the Giants' only option. That, of course, won't happen for their London game against the Packers, but the entire already-moribund offense will look even worse if Jones is forced to miss a week.

The Giants' top two quarterbacks, Daniel Jones (ankle) and Tyrod Taylor (concussion) have both exited Sunday's game against the Bears.

The Giants' third quarterback is...Saquon Barkley, so it could be some Wildcat action for the Giants for a bit. Jones didn't have a strong day throwing the football but he did rush for two touchdowns. Taylor came in and went 1/3 for 11 yards before the possible concussion.

Brian Daboll: Kadarius Toney and Wan'Dale Robinson are "getting closer."

The tweet went on to say it sounds like more progress is needed for both to be ready for Sunday vs. Bears. With Sterling Shepard lost for the season, the Giants need help at WR. James and Sills continue to lead the way but someone will need to step up.

Giants coach Brian Daboll tells reporters that WR Sterling Shepard has a torn ACL. His season is over.

With Toney and Robinson hurt, and Golladay seemingly in the doghouse, it only leaves James and Sills as the team's top targets. If the G-men don't look elsewhere, the Giants may have to put more trust in Toney and Golladay going forward. Robinson should return from a knee injury soon and he actually started in Week 1 before getting hurt. It's a situation to watch as one of these WRs will likely have to step up into a bigger fantasy role.
