Gano was injured in Week 2 against the Commanders. The Lions had recently signed Joseph to the practice squad to push Jake Bates.

Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers popped up on the team’s injury report and is being listed as limited in today’s practice due to a knee injury.

As long as Nabers plays, he should be on the WR2/3 fantasy radar, as the only legitimate weapon on this offense outside of Daniel Jones' legs. We'll keep an eye on his status as the week progresses.

Brian Daboll says Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback for the Giants.

The good news is if you're a Jones owner, he remains the starter. The bad news is we're only heading to Week 2 and the team needed to clarify this. Jones struggled in his return from the ACL injury and the hope is things will get better for him. The Giants seem to be willing to give Jones a bit of a leash here, but Lock lingers as a possible option if Jones continues to struggle as the weeks go on.

Though things did not look good earlier on Tuesday, it appears Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy has avoided a major injury.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, New York believes Tracy has suffered a sprain.

Tracy went down with a non-contact injury during Tuesday’s session and his right leg was immediately placed in an air cast. He was then carted off the field, the story went on to say. It's hard to believe Tracy won't miss at least some time, which could put his potential RB2 job in jeopardy. Gray and Miller aren't necessarily household names, so Tracy could still eventually slide back into the RB2 role at some point. Even though Singletary seems poised for a big workload, the Giants RB2 job should hold fantasy value, even if just handcuff.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll shared some positive news on the injury front in his Tuesday morning press conference.

Via multiple reporters on the scene, Daboll said receiver Malik Nabers went through full testing for his ankle injury and is “good.”

While the Giants will keep Nabers out of practice on Tuesday, he should be OK going forward, as Daboll said it’s not a long-term injury, the story said. This was the trend even on Monday, however it's always nice to get official word. Nabers suffered the ankle injury during Sunday’s practice.

Giants running back Tyrone Tracy’s rookie season may have come to an end at Tuesday’s practice.

Reporters at the session sent word that Tracy went down with a non-contact injury during a special teams drill. Trainers immediately put an air cast on Tracy’s right leg and he was carted off for further evaluation.

This news doesn't sound great, but the results of the evaluation will determine Tracy’s outlook. The move to the air cast is usually a sign of a serious injury, according to the story. Tracy was looking like the Giants RB2 option behind Singletary. That spot could go to last year's rookie Gray. Either way, the Giants may have to make another move for an RB if Tracy's season is lost.

Reports indicated Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers avoided a major injury during Sunday’s practice and head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that with an update to Nabers’s condition on Monday morning.

The story went on to say word was Nabers suffered a minor ankle sprain and Daboll said at his press conference that the first-round pick did not have a fracture. Daboll said that Nabers will not practice on Monday and that the team will take things day by day moving forward.

Giants WR Malik Nabers left practice Sunday with a minor ankle sprain.

Nabers initially limped off the field and took his shoe off. The first thought was an apparent foot injury for Nabers. The Giants do not seem overly concerned about the injury, per ESPN. That is good news for the potential breakout rookie. Nabers has had a strong training camp to this point.

Giants QB Drew Lock is dealing with a bad bone contusion and strained oblique from last night’s preseason game. He’s expected to miss some time, but no surgery is required.

Coach Brian Daboll said NYG could potentially add another QB with Lock sidelined a bit.

This could indirectly give Daniel Jones a little extra job security. Jones remains an interesting deep pick in 2QB/Superflex leagues.

I preface this by saying, yes, I know it’s very early, but …

Malik Nabers has that special quality the Giants have not had since Odell Beckham Jr.: he demoralizes defenses.

Stapleton went on to say he thinks Nabers might be better at the top of his routes than OBJ was as a rookie. He added that it could be the case that even though Nabers is covered, he's still open. Nabers was obviously hyped during the draft so he continues to prove his ability at camp. Some even considered him the top WR prospect, ahead of Marvin Harrison. Nabers is ranked 27th on our WR list heading into drafts, but has some things working against him with the Giants.
