Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Cleared to play against Green Bay
Rotowire
Dimukeje (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers.
A shoulder injury prevented Dimukeje from suiting up against Chicago in Week 10. He opened Week 11 prep with back-to-back limited practices, but he has been cleared to play Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. Dimukeje has mostly served on special teams, but he could see some work on defense due to the absences of Chauncey Golston (neck) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder).

Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Ruled out vs Chicago
Rotowire
Dimukeje (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Giants' game versus the Bears on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Dimukeje's absence doesn't come as a surprise, as he was previously listed as doubtful, and it's unclear when the 25-year-old picked up the injury. The team will be shorthanded at linebacker for Sunday's game, as Chauncey Golston (neck) has been ruled out as well.

Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Good to go Week 7
Rotowire
Dimukeje (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants activated Dimukeje from injured reserve Saturday, and the fourth-year linebacker has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut Sunday. He'll likely see most of his snaps on special teams but could see some rotational snaps at outside linebacker due to Chauncey Golston (neck) being inactive.

Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Activated from IR
Rotowire
The Giants activated Dumukeje (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Dimukeje started the regular season on injured reserve due to a pectoral muscle tear that he suffered during offseason workouts in the spring. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a full participant all week, and he is trending toward making his 2025 debut in Week 7. Dimukeje would likely serve in a rotational role at outside linebacker while also operating on special teams if he's given the green light to play Sunday.

Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Placed on PUP list
Rotowire
The Giants moved Dimukeje (pectoral) to the active/PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Dimukeje was originally placed on the NFI list due to a pec tear that he suffered during offseason workouts in early May. He'll be eligible to practice and play in the preseason once fully healthy, though a timeline has not been established for his return. Dimukeje signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Cardinals. He finished the 2024 regular season with 15 tackles (nine solo) and one forced fumble in 11 games while splitting his snaps between defense and special teams.

Cardinals' Victor Dimukeje: Iffy for Week 18 with eye issue
Rotowire
Dimukeje was added to the Cardinals' injury report Saturday and deemed questionable for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco due to an eye injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Dimukeje wasn't on the practice report at all this week, so the eye issue appears to have occurred very recently. The fourth-year pro has played a rotational role on Arizona's defensive line throughout the campaign while also contributing on special teams. Dimukeje logged just one defensive snap last Sunday against the Rams, though he had been on the field for at least 30 percent of the Cardinals' defensive snaps in each of the five prior contests for which he suited up.
