Flott (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Flott had already been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys, so this move was just a formality. He tallied 38 total tackles with one interception and one forced fumble across 14 games in 2025.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Flott (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
Flott didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a knee injury sustained in the Week 16 loss to the Vikings. The 24-year-old has finished his 2025 campaign with 38 total tackles, 11 passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble over 14 appearances. Deonte Banks is expected to draw another start at outside corner while Flott is sidelined Sunday.
Flott (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
The fourth-year pro from LSU was sidelined for the Giants' Week 17 win over the Raiders due to a knee injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still nursing the issue. Flott has appeared in 14 games this season and recorded 38 total tackles, 11 passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. If he's inactive for the second consecutive game in Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, expect Deonte Banks to draw another start opposite Paulson Adebo.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Iffy for Week 17
Rotowire
Flott (knee) is questionable to suit up against Las Vegas on Sunday.
Flott wasn't able to finish this past Sunday's game against Minnesota after suffering a knee injury in the third quarter. He was deemed limited in all three practice sessions this week and may come down to a game-time decision Sunday. If Flott can't play against the Raiders, Deonte Banks could step into a starting role.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Limited by knee injury
Rotowire
Flott (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Flott was unable to return to the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Vikings after sustaining a knee injury in the third quarter. His ability to log a limited practice to open the week indicates that the injury isn't considered a long-term concern, and he would avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders if he were to practice fully by Friday.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: No longer dealing with concussion
Rotowire
Flott has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Flott suffered a concussion in Week 8 versus Philadelphia and didn't play this past Sunday versus San Francisco. However, he logged a full practice Thursday following Wednesday's limited session and is now officially through concussion protocol. Flott should thus be able to return to action Sunday against Chicago.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Logs full practice
Rotowire
Flott (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Flott is still awaiting official clearance from the concussion protocol, but practicing in full represents a significant step in the right direction. If he gains full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, Flott will handle his usual starting role at cornerback during Sunday's road matchup against the Bears.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Doesn't practice Saturday
Rotowire
Flott did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to an undisclosed injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
The type and severity of Flott's injury isn't clear, but it has kept him out of practice for the past two days. Reps with the first-team defense are important for Flott, who is competing against Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo for the starting outside corner job. Flott will look to get back on the practice field and be available for the Giants' preseason opener against the Bills on Saturday, Aug. 9.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Competing for starting role
Rotowire
Flott and Deonte Banks are in a training camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Flott (10 starts) and Banks (14 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the Giants brought in Paulson Adebo during the offseason to be their top corner. Flott (53 stops, seven defensed passes) and Banks (52 tackles, 12 pass defenses) put up similar numbers in 2024, though they had just one interception between them as New York's secondary as a whole struggled to collect turnovers. Per Duggan, Flott and Banks have been alternating turns in the rotation during camp, so it appears this will be a genuine position battle throughout the preseason.

Flott (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Flott will return from a two-game absence and give the Giants' secondary a boost ahead of a matchup with rookie QB Michael Penix and WRs Drake London and Darnell Mooney. Through 11 appearances this season, Flott has 45 tackles (30 solo) and six pass breakups.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Flott (quadriceps/knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Saints, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Flott wasn't listed on the injury report for any of the Giants' three practices this past week, but he is now dealing with knee and quadriceps injury that put his status for Sunday's game into question. His official status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Giants announce their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With Deonte Banks (rib) already out and Flott potentially sidelined as well, the Giants would turn to Art Green and Adoree' Jackson to serve as the starting outside cornerbacks.

Rotowire
Flott (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Flott logged a week of limited practice sessions after missing the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers due to a groin issue. Expect the third-year pro to serve as the Giants' No. 3 outside cornerback behind both Deonte Banks and Nick McCloud in Week 9 now that he's returned to full health.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Opens week limited
Rotowire
Flott (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Rotowire
Flott (groin) was limited in practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Steelers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Flott has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions, but it looks like he nonetheless is trending in the wrong direction for Monday Night Football. Tre Hawkins will stand to inherit an expanded role on defense if Flott is indeed ruled out for Week 8.

Rotowire
Flott (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Flott was unable to practice Thursday after sustaining a groin injury in the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles. However, the third-year pro upgraded to limited participation Friday, suggesting he could suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Steelers.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Remains week-to-week
Rotowire
Flott is still considered week-to-week with a quad injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
The 2022 third-round pick out of LSU missed the Giants' last week of practice with this quad issue, and it appears that he still needs more time before returning to the field. While Flott remains sidelined, expect Darnay Holmes and Tre Hawkins to see more reps with the Giants' first-team defense.
