Giants' Arvell Reese: Logs half-sack in Week 7 win
Rotowire
Reese posted seven tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Sunday's 27-21 overtime victory against the Texans.
Reese continues to produce nice tackle numbers, as he's recorded seven or more stops in five of his seven games this season. The rookie out of Ohio State didn't notch a sack in his first four contests, but he's starting to pick up the pace with 1.5 sacks across his past three games. Reese has logged 100 percent of New York's defensive snaps in all but one of his appearances so far.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Steps up as starter during Week 7 win
Rotowire
McFadden notched 10 tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win against the Texans.
Among McFadden's 10 stops were two tackles for loss. The veteran linebacker had logged only three defensive snaps while serving primarily on special teams before Sunday, but he stepped into a starting role and played every one of the Giants' defensive snaps against Houston. It appears McFadden is going to be the replacement for inside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who landed on IR due to a chest injury last week.

Giants' Paulson Adebo: Active, as expected
Rotowire
Adebo (knee) is active Week 7 against the Texans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Adebo was activated from IR this week but still had a questionable tag after a week of limited practices. He'll ultimately get the nod to play for the first time since Week 1, and the veteran corner stands to see a significant number of snaps due Greg Newsome (concussion) getting ruled out, plus several other members of the New York secondary on IR.

Giants' Paulson Adebo: Activated from IR, expected to start Sunday
Rotowire
The Giants activated Adebo (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Adebo is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, but he's expected to start at outside cornerback due to the absence of Greg Newsome (concussion), per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Adebo was placed on injured reserve in mid-September due to a knee injury that he sustained during the Giants' Week 1 win over the Cowboys, and he finished that contest with three solo tackles.

Giants' Tremaine Edmunds: Moved to IR
Rotowire
Edmunds (chest) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Edmunds will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a torn chest muscle, so his placement on injured reserve opens up a spot on the Giants' 53-man roster. Micah McFadden is expected to start at inside linebacker alongside Arvell Reese for the rest of the season in Edmunds' absence, with Jack Kelly and Zaire Barnes providing depth at the position.

Giants' Tremaine Edmunds: Done for 2026
Rotowire
Edmunds will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a torn chest muscle, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Edmunds suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints in Week 6. With the veteran linebacker done for the year, Micah McFadden will take over as the starter alongside Arvell Reese.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Won't play against Houston
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Newsome entered the league's concussion protocol during the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Saints, and he was held out of practice all week. The Giants are thin in the secondary, so one of Colton Hood or Nic Jones figure to start opposite Deonte Banks at outside cornerback. New York is on a bye for Week 8, so Newsome's next chance to play is Week 9 against Philadelphia on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Giants' Jevon Holland: Tagged as questionable for Week 7
Rotowire
Holland (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Holland entered the league's concussion protocol following the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Saints. He was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, but he wouldn't be permitted to play Sunday unless he's cleared to do so by an independent neurologist. Tyler Nubin (neck) is also listed as questionable, so Jason Pinnock and Ar'Darius Washington could be the Giants' starting safeties for Week 7.

Giants' Paulson Adebo: Could return against Houston
Rotowire
Adebo (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Adebo has missed the Giants' last five games while on IR due to a knee injury. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he strung together three consecutive limited sessions to draw the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's contest. Adebo's return would boost the Giants' secondary and give the team another contributor on special teams.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Unable to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Newsome was knocked out of Sunday's game versus the Saints early by a concussion, and now his availability for Week 7 is in jeopardy. He'll have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before getting the green light to return to full-contact football activities, and whether he's able to return to practice Thursday or Friday may shed some light on any potential progress.

Holland presumably suffered the concussion during Sunday's game versus the Saints, and now his status for Week 7 is up in the air.

Rotowire
Edmunds (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Adebo was placed on the Giants' injured reserve following the team's Week 1 win over the Cowboys due to a knee injury. He's been sidelined for the last five games, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. Adebo would need to be activated from IR by Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Hood has not cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to suit up for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Nubin has not practiced since sustaining a neck injury in the Giants' Week 5 tie with the Commanders.

Ar'Darius Washington is set to start at strong safety for the Week 6 contest against the Saints.
