Updating a previous report, New York Giants WR Calvin Austin (knee) will miss the entire season due to a knee injury, according to a source.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Calvin Austin (knee) was reportedly carted off from Tuesday's practice after going to the ground on 1-on-1 drills running a route and immediately grabbing his knee, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 25.
Link to storyThe Giants' receiving corps may have been dealt a serious blow on Tuesday. Calvin Austin had to be carted off the field after going down while running a 1-on-1 drill.
| Footballguys view: Reporters at the practice noted that Austin grabbed his right knee after going down and that he was consoled by teammates as well as team owner John Mara before making his way off the field. Austin signed a one-year deal with the Giants this offseason after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Steelers. The team lists him behind Malik Nabers on the depth chart. Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the wideouts behind Austin, and a severe injury could help the veteran solidify his hold on a roster spot in his second tour of duty with the Giants. |
New York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) left practice Monday, Aug. 24, early after suffering an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: Johnson went down while blocking, prompting trainers to rush onto the field. According to local reports, Johnson walked off, slammed his helmet into the grass, ripped off his gloves, pulled his hood up, and headed briskly toward the locker room alone, appearing frustrated. Isaiah Likely has been the fantasy-relevant TE in New York all along, but we'll continue to watch for more on Johnson and report back as developments warrant. |
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was not wearing a no-contact jersey during practice Monday, Aug. 24. He was catching passes while running at 75 percent speed during practice.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Nabers has been taking part in team drills for a little more than one week, but he was wearing the red jersey until Monday's development. This doesn't mean he's been cleared for all activity, but he is now closing in on the final stages of his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee in Week 4 of last season. All signs are pointing toward Nabers being available Week 1 against the Cowboys. He's a prime pick in Round 3 at his current WR12 ADP. |
New York Giants WR Ryan Miller was waived Monday, Aug. 24.
Link to storyNew York Giants DB Colton Hood (undisclosed) is expected to return to practice sometime this week, head coach John Harbaugh indicated Sunday, Aug. 23.
Link to storyNew York Giants OG Joshua Ezeudu (leg) is considered day to day. He suffered an injury when he was inadvertently kicked in the back of the leg.
Link to storyNew York Giants OG Francis Mauigoa (illness) will be back at practice this week, head coach John Harbaugh said Sunday, Aug. 23. Mauigoa left practice Thursday, Aug. 20, due to a heat-related illness.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) might shed his non-contact jersey sometime this week, head coach John Harbaugh said Sunday, Aug. 23.
| Footballguys view: Everything is proceeding at a pace to expect Nabers to be full go for Week 1 against the Cowboys. His ADP may go up a few spots when he is officially cleared for contact. |
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. may be in danger of not making the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.
Link to storyNew York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed six times for 26 yards, caught three passes for 22 yards and lost a fumble during the preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Tracy's lost fumble was in the red zone, so that makes two big no-no's in the preseason after he got his quarterback blown up by whiffing on a pass block last week. Najee Harris should be the backup as soon as he is football shape. Tracy wasn't seen as a cut candidate last week, but that could change, or he could be shopped for a late round pick swap. Either way, his dynasty value is plummeting. |
New York Giants WR Braxton Berrios (undisclosed) is dealing with a minor soft tissue injury, head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday, Aug. 22.

New York Giants OG Joshua Ezeudu (leg) left the Giants' preseason game against the Miami Dolphins as he reportedly had his left leg rolled up by a teammate, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Darius Slayton could be behind several other pass-catchers in the Giants' receiver pecking order, as Slayton suited up for their preseason game against the Miami Dolphins while WRs Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney, and Braxton Berrios were all given the day off, in the opinion of ESPN's Jordan Raanan on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Slayton has worked his way back from the core muscle surgery that kept him out of action in the spring. He might just be getting some extra (needed) reps to knock off some of the rust. |

New York Giants RB Najee Harris was brought in under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor, even though a source told ESPN he signed a one-year minimum salary $1.215 million deal with no guaranteed money. The Giants' signing of Harris wasn't in direct response to RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s preseason gaffe. The team had been in contact with Harris' representative for months, and the workout was scheduled last week, sources told ESPN.
| Footballguys view: Tyrone Tracy was listed as the first team back along with Cam Skattebo on the first depth chart, so the Giants weren't sold on Skattebo being a true lead back yet early in the preseason. It's not a stretch to see Harris as the #2 back behind Skattebo, and taking more work from him than Tracy would have. Harris is on the borderline of draftable in typical leagues, and Skattebo is a shakier fourth round pick. |

New York Giants DT Darius Alexander (undisclosed) left practice early Thursday, Aug. 20, because of an undisclosed reason.
Link to storyNew York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Nabers avoided the PUP list to begin training camp, but he's not yet up to full speed according to HC John Harbaugh. So long as there are no setbacks, Nabers should be ready for Week 1. His current ADP is WR14 (3.09) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
New York Giants first-round pick OG Francis Mauigoa (illness) left practice Thursday, Aug. 20, for what's believed to be a heat-related issue.
Link to storyFormer New York Jets DT Ben Barten was awarded to the New York Giants off waivers, according to a source on Wednesday, Aug. 19.
Link to storyNew York Giants RB Najee Harris will likely need 'a couple weeks' to get into football shape, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Harris took part in individual drills only on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Harris looked pretty good in his first practice, so Harbaugh's words don't seem as prohibitive when considering Harris's potential value this season. Cam Skattebo was listed as an -OR- with Tyrone Tracy as first string backs on the depth chart, so the new regime has not anointed Skattebo the lead back yet. Harris isn't a must draft with a late round pick, but we wouldn't talk you out of using a pick on him either. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) took part in full-speed team drills on both Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18, in a red, non-contact practice jersey. He could transition to full contact as early as next week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, who writes that the 'expectation' is for Nabers to play in Week 1, barring a setback.
| Footballguys view: The important thing to note here is that despite the excitement about Nabers not starting camp on the PUP list, he still hasn't been cleared for contact. His demonstrated upside is still worth the third round pick it will cost to draft Nabers, but there are still a few more steps left in his recovery before we can say the offseason worry about his condition was unfounded. |

New York Giants WR JuJu Smith-Schuster was released by the team on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Schuster signed with the Giants in early June, but was listed as a fourth-string receiver on the team's depth chart. He did not play in the New York's first preseason game. |

Najee Harris has agreed to a one-year deal with New York, according to NFL Network. Harris took a visit with the club on Monday.
| Footballguys view: On Monday, head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Harris looked good in his workout -- but with some caveats. "You know, he's not back 100 percent," Harbaugh said. "He's not in football shape yet. So, if we are able to do something, it'll be a process." Harris suffered a torn Achilles while playing for the Chargers last season. Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary sit atop the depth chart in New York. We'll see if Harris can change any of that. |

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is making more strides in his return from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season. Nabers took part in full-speed team drills for the first time at training camp on Monday.
| Footballguys view: According to PFT's Josh Alper, Nabers wore a red non-contact jersey and had his reps managed in both 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods of the practice. Still, it was one more step toward being in the lineup without any restrictions when the Giants face the Cowboys in the first week of the regular season. Nabers didn't make any guarantees about playing in the opener, but obstacles to him doing so are getting harder to find, and it's starting to feel like a pretty safe bet that No. 1 will be on the field in Week 1. |

Free-agent RB Najee Harris (Chargers) is meeting with the New York Giants Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Harris, 28, suffered a torn Achilles tendon while playing for the Chargers under Jim Harbaugh in 2025. The former first-round pick was able to play just three games before his injury. As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, John Harbaugh also knows what it's like to go against Harris well, with the running back playing the Ravens twice a year from 2021-2024 while with the Steelers. The Giants already have Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary at the top of their current depth chart. We'll see how Harris fits if he signs. |

New York Giants CB Sam Webb was placed on the reserve/retired list on Sunday, Aug. 16.
Link to storyNew York Giants RB Cam Skattebo rushed four times for 19 yards during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo showed no ill effects from the dislocated ankle that he had surgically repaired last year. His "co-starter" Tyrone Tracy whiffed on a block and got his quarterback blown up, so we should probably start projecting Skattebo as the starter and worthy of his mid-fourth round ADP, if not higher. |

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart completed three of his four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Dart's touchdown came on a very impressive throw once he was flushed from the pocket. It was caught by third round pick Malachi Fields, who is having a great summer and could win a starting job. Dart also went to the medical tent to be checked for a concussion (after Tyrone Tracy Jr. whiffed on a pass block), and expressed confusion after the game as to why he ends up in the medical tent so often. Jameis Winston is the backup here, and we have to imagine that we will se him get some starts this season. That's actually not bad for the fantasy prospects of the offense. Winston shouldn't be on the waiver wire in dynasty superflex leagues. |

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart (head) left the preseason game early Saturday, Aug. 15 but was cleared to return after being checked for a possible concussion.
| Footballguys view: Dart completed 3-of-4 passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings. We're excited to see what new HC John Harbaugh does with the second-year passer this season. Giants OC Brian Daboll has pushed Dart in practice to play fast. Dart has a current ADP of QB14 (10.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) could start participating in team drills as soon as next week, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is making his way back from the knee injury that shortened his 2025 season after just four games. Barring any sort of setback, Nabers should be able to start against the Cowboys in Week 1 of the regular season. His injury status is baked into his ADP, and currently Nabers is going off the board at WR15 (3.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
