New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (leg) was carted off the practice field on Tuesday following a kickoff drill, team beat reporter Pat Leonard reported on X. Leonard wrote that the injury looked bad, and Tracy had an air cast put on his leg. This is an unfortunate development for the 2024 fifth-round pick, as he has been making waves in training camp thus far. There will surely be further updates on his status, but if he has to miss time, it could clear an easier path for Eric Gray to occupy the RB2 role behind veteran Devin Singletary. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates.
Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (ankle) underwent a complete evaluation for his ankle injury, and head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that he's "good" and the issue is not "long-term." Daboll indicated that while Nabers will miss some practice time, he's not expected to be sidelined for an extended period. Nabers, who has stood out as New York's top receiver this summer, suffered the injury during a drill at Sunday's practice and was absent from Monday's sessionthe first practice he has missed since being selected as the No. 6 pick in the NFL draft out of LSU. During his absence, Veteran Darius Slayton stepped into Nabers' role as the X receiver. Daboll declined to provide a diagnosis, confirming that the tests didn't reveal a serious injury. There seem to be no significant concerns for Week 1. Nabers might be held out of the remaining two preseason games. Still, his rising ADP in recent weeks underscores the importance of his return to full health for fantasy managers hoping to see him reach his potential.UPDATE: Nabers said he has no doubt he'll be ready for Week 1 of the regular season.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones reportedly struggled with arm strength and deep passes early in training camp, but Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that he has "shaken off the rust" and is no longer underthrowing passes down the field. "[He] uncorked a beautiful deep ball to Jalin Hyatt for a long touchdown today. They also hooked up for a short TD pass on a slant when Nick McCloud seemed to expect help inside that didn't come," Duggan wrote on X. While this is a promising note, it's tough to buy in on Jones in 2024 after his lost 2023 season. The 27-year-old is coming off a torn ACL, which could limit his rushing upside this season. First-round wideout Malik Nabers (ankle) is also banged up, and although he should be ready to go for Week 1, his ankle injury could slow down his development at least a little bit. All that said, Jones currently carries an ADP around the QB31 spot, so he can be picked as a late-round flier in deep Superflex formats. He's practically free in drafts, so it won't hurt fantasy managers if he busts in his sixth NFL campaign.
When asked how confident he is that he'll be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September, New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (hip, oblique) said, "100 percent confident." Lock said he's already throwing again after being pulled from the team's preseason opener last Thursday night against the Detroit Lions due to a bone contusion in his hip and a strained oblique. The 27-year-old will not need surgery, but he'll almost certainly sit out of the second preseason game this Saturday versus the Houston Texans. Starter Daniel Jones is expected to make his preseason debut, and third-stringer Tommy Devito should once again see extensive work. With Jones expected to be a full-go to kick off the regular season, Lock will be off the fantasy radar in all leagues as the backup in the Big Apple.
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (ankle) limped off the practice field on Sunday and the team thought it was a minor ankle sprain at the time. According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, it looks like the mild ankle sprain has been confirmed and Nabers seems to be considered day-to-day. The Giants are likely to play it safe with their prized first-round pick, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for updates as the week progresses. Starting quarterback Daniel Jones is expected to play in the team's next preseason contest, so getting Nabers some reps with Jones is the ideal situation. We'll have to wait on some more official updates as the game gets closer.
