Holmes accumulated six solo tackles and one interception in the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Lions.
Holmes picked off Dak Prescott for his first interception of the season and second pass deflection. His six tackles were also a season high by a wide margin. The cornerback was on the field for 39 defensive snaps (51 percent). His ability to carry that momentum going forward will depend on the health of Adoree' Jackson (concussion) and Deonte Banks (ankle).

Giants' Darnay Holmes: Suffers neck injury
Rotowire
Holmes (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Washington.
Holmes has been solid in his rookie campaign with the Giants, racking up 13 tackles (nine solo), 0.5 sacks and two pass breakups this season. He was forced to leave the game late in the second quarter, and as long as Holmes is sidelined, Corey Ballentine should be in line for an uptick in snaps at cornerback, with Darius Slayton taking over as the kick return man.
