Giants LB Bobby Okereke will miss his third straight game Sunday against the Falcons because of a back injury. Okereke has yet to even practice over that span, which doesn't bode well for his chances of returning for Week 17.
The Giants have ruled LB Bobby Okereke out for the second straight week with a back injury. Okereke remained out of practice all week, so we'll see about his status for Week 16 (and beyond). His absence once again elevates Micah McFadden and Darius Muasau to the top and second LB spots, respectively, for Sunday's game against the Ravens. McFadden presents more value if your league scores tackles for loss. He racked up 5 of them last week and now has 8 for the year. McFadden has also reached 11 total tackles in three of his past five games.
The Giants have ruled LB Bobby Okereke out for Sunday's game against the Saints because of a back injury. HC Brian Daboll said earlier this week that he hoped Okereke would be ready for the game, so it doesn't seem like a long-term issue. But Okereke missed all three practice days. His absence should leave Micah McFadden and rookie Darius Muasau as the top two off-ball LBs vs. New Orleans.
The Giants added Edge Brian Burns to the injury report Friday after a groin injury limited his practice time. He's now questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. LB Darius Muasau (knee) is also questionable after three limited practices. If Muasau winds up inactive, it would mean more playing time for LB Micah McFadden. He went from not playing in the opener to seeing 79% snap share with Muasau inactive in Week 2.
Giants LB Micah McFadden (ankle) is active for tonight's game against the Bills. That will mark his return after missing Week 5, and should return Isaiah Simmons to a reserve role.
Giants LB Micah McFadden (ankle) is inactive for today's game against the Dolphins.
