The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of a Week 12 game against the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium.
Before practice, head coach Brian Daboll met with reporters to update the status on several players, including wide receiver Darius Slayton and left tackle Andrew Thomas, who is reportedly playing on a sprained MCL.
“He won’t practice today,” Daboll said of Slayton, indicating he could play on Sunday.
Additionally, the Giants announced that rookie running back Eric Gray has been designated to return from injured reserve (IR) with his 21-day window officially opening.
Linebacker Bobby Okereke also revealed that he’s dealing with a broken rib and dislocated finger, noting that the latter hurts worse than the former. Both he and Slayton intend to play.
Finally, nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was a surprise addition to the injury report. He generally has a veteran rest day on Wednesday but was listed as a non-participant due to a hamstring injury this week.
