Story summary

As of October 16, 2026, the New York Giants received some positive injury updates ahead of their upcoming game against the Saints. Edge player Abdul Carter, who was listed as questionable due to a calf strain but participated in individual drills on Friday, showed promising signs and might be upgraded to full participation status by coach John Harbaugh. Both right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and left tackle Andrew Thomas also took part in limited practice despite their own calf and groin injuries respectively. Wide receiver Malik Nabers, who returned from a torn ACL last year, expressed that he is only 70-80% of his full capability but has been performing well recently with back-to-back games over 100 yards. However, the Giants could still face significant challenges if Carter, Eluemunor, and Thomas cannot play; they would need swing tackle Marcus Mbow or rookie J.C. Davis to step in at crucial positions. The team ruled out cornerback Colton Hood (concussion), tight end Theo Johnson (neck), and safety Tyler Nubin (neck) for the upcoming match.
