The New York Giants got some welcome news Friday with linebacker Abdul Carter returning to the practice field. After missing a pair of practices this week with a calf injury, Carter was back as a limited participant, but the Giants still slapped him with a questionable tag for Sunday’s game against the Saints.
That “questionable” status for Carter, who’s racked up 14 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble this season, is just the tip of the iceberg for Big Blue’s injury report. It’s a real hit, especially when you consider they’ve got some key guys already ruled out, no question.
This squad is dealing with more than just Carter’s calf. Left tackle Andrew Thomas, battling a groin issue, and right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, also dealing with a calf problem, were both limited in practice Friday and are also questionable for Sunday. Those are huge pieces on the offensive line that could be missing or playing at less than 100 percent. On top of that, the Giants have already declared three players definitively out for Week 6: cornerback Colton Hood with a concussion, and both tight end Theo Johnson and safety Tyler Nubin sidelined with neck injuries.
It’s a tough spot for the Giants heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Saints. They’ll need to make some big calls on those questionable guys, and whoever steps up for the ruled-out players will have their work cut out for them.
