Giants' Paulson Adebo: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Adebo (hamstring) was not listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday.
Adebo was working through a hamstring issue during training camp, but his absence from the Giants' injury report following Wednesday's practice indicates that he'll play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys. Adebo is entering the second year of a three-year, $54 million contract that he signed with the Giants in March of 2025, though he may be limited to a rotational role in the secondary behind fellow outside corners Greg Newsome and Deonte Banks. Adebo recorded 73 tackles (56 solo) and eight pass defenses (including an interception) across 12 regular-season games last year.

Giants' Paulson Adebo: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Adebo (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
It is unclear when Adebo picked up the hamstring issue, but the injury will likely keep the cornerback out for at least another week. Adebo is set to start at outside cornerback opposite Greg Newsome (knee) this season. Both starters are dealing with injuries, so the Giants will likely lean on Deonte Banks and Colton Hood throughout the preseason.
