Rotowire
Pinnock (back) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Commanders, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Rotowire
Harrison (groin) is inactive for Thursday's game against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Harrison was limited at practice throughout the week and has since been ruled out for the Week 10 meeting with the Commanders. The 28-year-old has played sparingly on defense during the 2026 campaign, though his absence will be felt on special teams. Harrison's next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 11 versus Jacksonville.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Tallies first sack of 2026
Rotowire
McFadden recorded nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery during the Giants' 19-11 win over the Eagles in Week 9.
McFadden jumped on a fumble caused by Arvell Reese's sack of Joe Milton early in the second quarter, and McFadden logged a sack of his own -- his first of the 2026 regular season -- early in the third. The fifth-year pro has accumulated 19 total tackles over his last two games, which has coincided with his move to a starting role due to Tremaine Edmunds (chest) being on injured reserve.

Giants' Arvell Reese: Career performance against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Reese recorded 12 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during the Giants' 19-11 win over the Eagles in Week 9.
The Giants' pass rush made life miserable for Eagles quarterback Joe Milton, who was making his first start of the season in Week 9. Reese was responsible for three of the Giants' seven sacks, including a strip sack early in the second quarter that caused a takeaway. It was the second time in 2026 that Reese logged double-digit tackles, and he is up to 68 tackles (49 solo), including 4.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through eight regular-season games.

Giants' Abdul Carter: Good to go for TNF
Rotowire
Carter (knee/back) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday night's game against the Commanders.
Carter logged limited tags Monday and Tuesday before upgrading to full practice Wednesday. Across eight starts this season, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2025 Draft has produced 19 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble. He's yet to develop into a game-wrecking edge rusher.

Giants' Colton Hood: Dislocates finger in practice
Rotowire
Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Hood dislocated his finger during Tuesday's practice, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Hood left Tuesday's practice with a trainer after injuring his finger, but Harbaugh told reporters after the session that the rookie second-rounder will "be fine." It's possible that Hood doesn't miss any game time, although Wednesday's injury report will shed light on his status for Thursday's NFC East tilt against the Commanders. Most of his playing time has been on special teams, but Hood's absence would give the Giants less depth in the secondary.

Giants' Colton Hood: Upgraded to full practice
Rotowire
Hood (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Hood was limited by an illness Wednesday, though he was back out there for a full session Thursday, suggesting he will be good to go for the Week 9 divisional clash with the Eagles. The 21-year-old rookie has appeared in six regular-season games in 2026, garnering 10 tackles (seven solo).

Giants' Jevon Holland: Not included on injury report
Rotowire
Holland (concussion) was not listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Holland was forced to miss the team's overtime win against the Texans in Week 7 while recovering from a concussion, but he now appears to have cleared concussion protocol. The 26-year-old will be back in his starting role in New York's secondary versus Philadelphia on Sunday.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Extended by New York
Rotowire
The Giants signed Newsome (concussion) to a three-year $46 million extension with $32 million guaranteed, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Newsome signed with the Giants this past offseason on a one-year deal, but after just seven games, the 26-year-old played well enough to earn an extension. He has 25 tackles (17 solo), along with six pass deflections and one interception, through six games of the 2026 season.

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' Tyler Nubin: Active against Houston
Rotowire
Nubin (neck) is active Week 7 against the Texans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

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' Jevon Holland: Downgraded to out for Sunday
Rotowire
Holland (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Holland entered the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Saints. The safety has not been cleared by an independent neurologist to play in Sunday's game, leaving Ar'Darius Washington to suit up as the starting free safety for the Giants in Week 7.
