Giants’ Dexter Lawrence, Darius Slayton doubtful vs. Patriots

The New York Giants will host the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium in Week 12 and could be down several additional key players.

Man games lost has been the major story for the Giants since 2009 as they lead the league in injuries over that span, and they will look to continue that string here in 2023.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, the team’s most dominant player, missed all three practices this week due to a hamstring injury and is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Darius Slayton, the team’s leading receiver, is also listed as doubtful for the Patriots clash due to a neck injury that is causing some nerve-related issues.

“So, we’ll take both those guys right up to game time,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “Evan Neal will be out.”

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Patriots can be found below:
