The New York Giants were on the field Thursday. This was their second practice before a Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams, set for Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium. Health concerns are already mounting for the team.

Tracy Jr. and Flu Worries

Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. was a focus during practice. He missed Wednesday’s walkthrough with a “bad flu deal,” having been sent home Tuesday morning because he was not in good shape. Coach John Harbaugh expects Tracy Jr. back Thursday if the illness clears up. Harbaugh also expressed concern about the flu possibly spreading throughout the roster.

Key Defense Out, Nabers Good

Wide receiver Malik Nabers, who returned in Week 1 after extensive ACL rehabilitation, is looking good. Coach Harbaugh relayed that trainers said Nabers “looked good,” even stating it “was an A,” though Harbaugh had not asked him directly.

The Giants’ full Thursday injury report showed trouble on defense. Cornerback Paulson Adebo did not participate due to a knee injury. Limited participants included OL Andrew Thomas (ankle), CB Deonte Banks (calf), OL Francis Mauigoa (shoulder), LB Chauncey Gholston (neck), LB Micah McFadden (neck), and CB Greg Newsome (rib). Notably, no player was a full participant.

Monday’s Challenge

With these injuries piling up and flu concerns circulating, the Giants definitely face a real challenge heading into Monday’s game against the Rams.
