| | New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) exited Sunday's preseason matchup against Cincinnati with a knee issue. He will not return. Fortunately, the 2022 No. 5 overall pick was seen laughing and joking with teammates after the injury, so there's a good chance it isn't too serious. Nevertheless, the team should have an update on his condition soon. However, IDP managers, especially those in dynasty formats, shouldn't change a thing regarding his fantasy expectations, at least until more information is released. |
| | New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (concussion) exited Sunday's preseason matchup against Cincinnati for a concussion evaluation. The 35-year-old has been nearly automatic throughout his two years in New York, so being without him wouldn't be ideal for a team looking to improve on the offensive end. Nonetheless, an update on Gano's condition should come soon. However, head injuries are never good, making it realistic to believe the Giants could be without him for Week 1 and beyond. |
| | New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) won't return to Sunday's preseason bout versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie suffered a knee injury in the first half and was quickly ruled out. Fortunately, he was seen laughing and joking with teammates after sustaining the injury. There's also optimism within the Giants' camp he avoided anything serious. Nevertheless, a definitive update should come soon. However, even if there is good news, Thibodeaux likely won't be seen again until the regular season. |
| | New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (concussion) won't return to Sunday's preseason showdown with Cincinnati due to a concussion. The veteran has been a reliable fantasy contributor over the years while remaining one of the few consistent members of the Giants' offense. An update on Gano's status should come soon. However, considering it's a head injury, there's a chance he won't be available for the Week 1 opener in Tennessee. Nonetheless, Punter Jamie Gillan came in for emergency relief, although the Giants will likely conduct a search for Gano's replacement if his prognosis isn't promising. |
| | New York Giants first-round rookie defensive lineman Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) suffered a right knee injury in the preseason game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals and is going for tests on Monday. Thibodeaux was able to walk off the field under his own power, though, and there's optimism from the Giants that he avoided a major injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "I'll be back. We're good," Thibodeaux said after the game on Sunday. Before he left the game, the fifth overall pick played 15 defensive snaps, logging one tackle. Even if the 21-year-old pass rusher's injury isn't all that serious, it doesn't mean he'll be ready to go for the Week 1 regular season opener. |
| | Initial tests on New York Giants rookie first-round defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) showed a sprained MCL that is expected to keep him out for three to four weeks, according to a source. The good news is that Thibodeaux's ACL and meniscus are intact. The Giants are hopeful that he'll be ready to play in the Week 1 regular season opener against the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. We're skeptical that the 21-year-old fifth overall pick will be ready for the regular season opener, and fantasy managers in IDP leagues should adjust accordingly. The good news is that the Giants won't lose Thibodeaux for a significant amount of time to begin his rookie season in the NFL. |
| | New York Giants linebacker Darrian Beavers (knee) will miss the entirety of his rookie year after having sustained a torn ACL during Sunday's preseason win over the Bengals. Beavers was chosen in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of the University of Cincinnati, where he was a First-team All-AAC selection last year. The 23-year-old was expected to add depth to the team's linebacker position, a group that includes Blake Martinez and Tae Crowder. New York's rookie class alone took a significant blow in its second preseason game, as Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) will be on the shelf for 3-4 weeks with an MCL sprain, while offensive lineman Marcus McKethan (knee) endured a torn ACL of his own. The Giants' defense is firmly on the outside looking in of fantasy consideration in all formats this year. |
