2 Giant Goofballs: A NY Giants Podcast

Send us a text In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob cover all the latest news surrounding the New York Giants and preview their upcoming matchup against the Cleveland Browns. With a focus on the NFC East and the Giants' latest roster moves, the hosts dig deep into what the team needs to do to get back on track. The Giants have made several roster adjustments, including signing veteran kicker Greg Joseph off the Lions' practice squad. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, the 30-year-old kicker brings plenty of experience, having played for multiple teams since entering the NFL in 2018. His most notable stint was with the Minnesota Vikings, where he played from 2021 to 2023. With an 82.6% field goal accuracy and 90.1% on extra points, Joseph is expected to fill a critical role, especially after some struggles in the kicking game. Before signing Joseph, the Giants also worked out several other kickers, including Randy Bullock, Zan Gonzalez, Riley Patterson, and practice squad kicker Jude McAtamney. In addition to Joseph, the Giants have added linebacker Patrick Johnson, a former 7th-round pick out of Tulane. Released by the Eagles to make room for ex-Giant Nick Gates, Johnson has spent most of his NFL career contributing on special teams. With injuries to key special teams players like Carter Coughlin and Matthew Adams, Johnson is expected to bolster this unit. His experience as a defensive end and linebacker could also give him opportunities in the Giants’ pass rush. The hosts also discuss the Giants' recent trade deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Jordan Phillips was traded during training camp, and with his playing time condition met, the Giants now receive a 6th-round pick in 2026 in exchange for their 7th-round pick. Despite the Giants’ struggles in the run game, Drew and Rob agree that this trade appears to be the right move, especially given Phillips’ low performance with the Cowboys so far. One of the more intriguing discussions in the episode is Mike Francesa's recent comments about Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Francesa speculates that Daboll may be feeling the pressure, suggesting that he’s lost some of the swagger he had in his first season. While Francesa’s comments may seem exaggerated, it raises questions about whether Daboll’s change in demeanor is impacting the Giants' performance. The episode takes a reflective turn as the hosts celebrate the nomination of Eli Manning for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Eli is one of seven Giants nominated, joining other Giants greats like Tiki Barber, Jeremy Shockey, and Justin Tuck. The discussion touches on whether Eli will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, as this class of nominees doesn’t feature a large number of standout first-year eligible candidates, which could work in Eli’s favor. As the focus shifts to the Giants' upcoming game against the Browns, Drew and Rob provide a comprehensive preview. The Browns, coming off a win against the Jaguars, still have significant offensive struggles. Deshaun Watson has yet to find his rhythm, completing just 8.2% of his passes for 355 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The Browns' run game, however, has shown Support the show All Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & Twitch Sponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs Interested in starting a podcast.

Send us a text In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob dive deep into the latest turmoil surrounding the New York Giants, starting with the growing uncertainty around Brian Daboll's job security. After another tough loss, Daboll was visibly frustrated when asked about his future as head coach, insisting that his focus remains solely on the team. The tension didn’t end there, as Daboll addressed the decision to play Graham Gano despite the kicker’s lingering groin injury, only for Gano to aggravate a hamstring during the game. Drew and Rob highlight how the Giants, who had an open roster spot, could have easily avoided this disaster by elevating kicker Jude McAtamney from the practice squad, a move that could have changed the outcome of the game. The kicking issues weren’t the only source of frustration, though. EDGE rusher Brian Burns didn’t hold back his feelings after the game, dropping an F-bomb while calling out the Giants for failing to finish off the Commanders. Burns emphasized the need for the team to improve their "competitive stamina" and execute in key moments. The loss also saw the Giants make unwanted NFL history, becoming the first team ever to score three or more touchdowns, allow no touchdowns, and still lose in regulation. Drew and Rob also explore some intriguing rumors and potential moves for the Giants. Marissa Myers from TWSN floated the idea of the Giants trading for struggling Jets QB Zach Wilson, but the hosts question whether Wilson would even be an upgrade over backup options like Tommy DeVito. They also discuss Bryce Young’s benching in Carolina, the effect it might have on the Giants’ future matchups and draft position, and how the Panthers' choice not to draft C.J. Stroud could have long-term implications. The hosts wrap up the episode with rapid-fire updates from around the NFL, including the impact of Tua Tagovailoa’s latest concussion on the Dolphins, Andy Dalton taking over in Carolina, and major results from across the league, such as the Browns getting back on track ahead of their clash with the Giants, and the Chiefs narrowly defeating the Bengals in another thriller. Tune in for all the latest Giants news, updates, and rumors as Drew and Rob break down what’s next for Big Blue as they head into a critical stretch of the season. #giants #nygiants #giants100 Support the show All Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & Twitch Sponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs Interested in starting a podcast.

Send us a text We kick things off with a major concern for Giants fans—rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been added to the injury list with a knee injury. Nabers has been limited in practice, raising questions about his availability for Sunday’s critical game. The Giants desperately need him on the field as they look to bounce back from their Week 1 performance. Drew and Rob discuss how the team might handle this situation and what it means for the offensive game plan. Next, we dive into the unfolding situation with linebacker Isaiah Simmons, who’s expressed frustration over his lack of playing time. Simmons had zero snaps in Week 1, and his comments to the media make it clear he’s unhappy with his role. Having signed a one-year, $2M deal with the Giants after being on the free-agent market for a month, Simmons expected to have a bigger impact. Drew and Rob debate whether Simmons is right to speak out or if he should let his play in practice do the talking. With his career already labeled a disappointment after being a high draft pick, this season could make or break his future in the NFL. How should the Giants handle this situation, and will Simmons see the field soon? We also take a look at comments made by Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard following the Giants' crushing 28-6 loss to Minnesota. Greenard admitted that the Vikings defense felt bad for Daniel Jones as they completely shut down the Giants’ offense. This opens up a bigger discussion on the state of the Giants' offensive line and the team’s overall performance. In response to these remarks, Giants head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka strongly defended Jones, praising his toughness and resilience despite the early season struggles. Defensive lineman Rakeem "Nacho" Nunez-Roches also chimed in, comparing the situation to a parent watching their child struggle and urging Giants fans to support their quarterback. Drew and Rob discuss the scrutiny Jones faces and whether he can rebound from the Week 1 disaster. In an exciting twist, the rumor mill is buzzing with speculation about Bill Belichick’s potential interest in coaching the Giants. Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman stirred the pot by suggesting that if the Giants’ head coaching job ever opens up, Belichick could be intrigued. Known for his deep ties to the Giants organization, where he began his coaching career, Belichick has often spoken fondly of his time with the team. Drew and Rob debate the feasibility of this rumor and how Belichick could reshape the future of New York’s football franchise. We wrap up the show by making our Week 2 NFL picks. Drew and Rob break down the key matchups, including the Giants' pivotal NFC East showdown against the Washington Commanders. They’ll give their insights on the spreads, over/under predictions, and who they think will come out on top. Can the Giants turn things around, or will Washington take advantage of New York’s shaky start? From the high-powered Bills-Dolphins clash to the Buccaneers vs. Lions game, they’ll analyze all the key games this weekend and what it means for the Giants in the larger NFC picture. #giants #nygiants #giants100 Support the show All Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & Twitch Sponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs Interested in starting a podcast.

Send us a text In this episode, we break down Jones’ historical performance against Washington, where he's had flashes of brilliance, including his 352-yard, 5-touchdown game back in 2019. But the numbers reveal a more complicated story: outside of that standout performance, Jones has often been held under 225 passing yards in these matchups. Is it really Jones who has dominated the Commanders, or has it been the Giants’ overall team effort that has carried him? This game feels like a tipping point for Jones. With a 69.7% completion rate in seven games against Washington, he has the numbers to suggest a potential comeback. We also discuss Baker Mayfield’s recent success against Washington, where the Bucs' quarterback torched them for 289 yards and four touchdowns. Mayfield, a middle-of-the-pack QB in the NFL, made the Commanders’ defense look vulnerable. Can Daniel Jones take advantage of the same weaknesses and deliver a similar performance, or is he set for another frustrating outing? Drew and Rob lay out their expectations for Jones, emphasizing the need for him to throw the ball down the field and exploit Washington’s secondary, which gave up big plays to Tampa’s receivers last week. Next, we shift focus to the Giants' struggling run game. Devin Singletary managed just 37 yards on 10 carries against the Vikings, and the team is looking for a spark. Could rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. be the answer? Last week, the Commanders allowed 62 yards on just 9 carries to Bucs rookie Bucky Irving, while their lead back Rachaad White was held to just 31 yards. Speedy backs like Tracy might be the key to breaking through Washington’s defensive front. On the other side of the ball, the Giants face a daunting task in containing Washington’s rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. In his NFL debut, Daniels impressed with 184 passing yards, 88 rushing yards, and two touchdowns against the Bucs. However, he struggled to connect with his wide receivers, and his throws were often off-target. Could it be first-game jitters, or is there a bigger issue with his accuracy? The Giants’ defense, which made Sam Darnold look like a seasoned pro in Week 1. The Commanders’ run game will also be a focus, with Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler providing a one-two punch out of the backfield. Robinson is a steady, workhorse back averaging 4 yards per carry, while Ekeler brings explosiveness, particularly as a receiving threat. However, Ekeler's production has dipped recently. We assess how the Giants can rebound from their poor showing against the run in Week 1, where they gave up 94 yards to Aaron Jones on just 14 carries, and whether they can slow down Washington’s backfield duo. The Giants’ receiving corps, led by rookie Malik Nabers, will also be key to this game. Nabers had a solid debut with 5 catches for 66 yards, but the Giants will need more from him and the rest of the wideouts to keep pace with Washington. Last week, the Commanders’ secondary struggled, allowing Tampa’s Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to combine for over 140 yards and 3 touchdowns. Washington’s cornerbacks, particularly Benjamin St-Juste and Emmanuel Forbes, had poor performances.

Send us a text In this live episode of 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, Drew and Rob dive into the latest updates surrounding the New York Giants after a tough Week 1. The episode kicks off with the duo discussing the harsh reception Daniel Jones faced from fans as he left the stadium, with many booing and heckling him. Drew and Rob debate whether this level of frustration is justified, and they agree that while Jones may not be the quarterback the team needs, the blame should fall more on GM Joe Schoen for not bringing in legitimate competition. They explore how fans, despite wanting to move on from Jones, must accept that he remains QB1—at least for now—taking first-team snaps at practice this week. Could this be his last chance to prove himself? The guys also break down the latest injury news coming from Head Coach Brian Daboll. Several key players, including cornerback Nick McCloud and wide receiver Darius Slayton, are dealing with injuries, adding to the Giants' woes. McCloud’s knee injury puts him in a “day to day” or possibly “week to week�� situation, while Slayton enters concussion protocol. Kick returner Gunner Olszewski re-aggravated his groin and is out for weeks, and linebacker Carter Coughlin’s pectoral injury will keep him sidelined for months. Drew and Rob lament the growing injury list, especially with linebacker Micah McFadden and offensive tackle Evan Neal already out for Week 1. On the positive side, the Giants have signed return specialist Ihmir Smith-Marsette. The 25-year-old from Newark, NJ, was one of PFF’s second-team All-Pro returners last year, and the guys are hopeful that he’ll bring a spark to special teams. They discuss his background with the Vikings, Bears, Chiefs, and Panthers and how he might fit into the Giants' plans moving forward. Another hot topic is Isaiah Simmons, who shockingly didn’t play a single snap in the Giants' opener. Coach Daboll explained that Dane Belton got the nod instead, but Drew and Rob can’t help but wonder what role Simmons will have moving forward, especially considering the team’s defensive struggles. Next, the conversation turns to defensive star Dexter Lawrence, who made headlines by addressing the fans’ booing. Lawrence made it clear that while he understands fans want to see their team win, he doesn’t respect the booing. Drew and Rob break down Lawrence’s comments and discuss whether the fans have crossed a line or if their frustration is understandable given the Giants’ lackluster performance. Drew and Rob also review the biggest games from around the NFL in Week 1. They highlight several key matchups, including the Vikings’ embarrassing loss to the Giants, the Packers’ close call against the Eagles, and Baker Mayfield’s standout performance in the Buccaneers' win over the Commanders. They also touch on upsets like the Patriots taking down the Bengals, as well as the struggles of rookie QB Caleb Williams in his debut for the Bears. To wrap up, the hosts review their Week 1 predictions, going over where they went right and where they missed the mark. The show ends with a look ahead to Week 2 and what Giants fans can expect in their upcoming matchup. # Support the show All Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & Twitch Sponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs Interested in starting a podcast.

Did Jones rise to the occasion and deliver under pressure? Drew and Rob discuss Jones' connection with rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who’s expected to make a big splash in his NFL debut. Was Nabers the spark the Giants needed to get their offense rolling, or will he need more time to adjust to the pro game? The discussion also turns to the Giants’ revamped defense, which now features star edge rusher Brian Burns. Did Burns live up to the hype in his first regular-season game with Big Blue, and how did he handle the challenge of going up against a Vikings offense led by Sam Darnold? The Vikings were missing star receiver Justin Jefferson, but did Darnold and the Minnesota offense still manage to cause problems for the Giants’ defense? Drew and Rob break down how the absence of Jefferson may have impacted the Vikings’ game plan and whether the Giants' secondary stepped up to the challenge. Meanwhile, the offensive line’s performance, particularly Andrew Thomas, will be under the spotlight. Did the O-line give Daniel Jones the protection he needed, or did the Vikings’ pass rush expose some weaknesses? Giants fans know how critical a solid line is, and this game could give early insight into whether the line will hold strong this season. The running game will also be a hot topic as Drew and Rob discuss how newly acquired Devin Singletary fits into the Giants' offense. Was Singletary able to break through the Vikings’ defense and provide the kind of ground game the Giants need to take pressure off Jones? Aaron Jones, the Vikings’ key offensive weapon in the absence of Jefferson, will also be a talking point, as the hosts analyze how well the Giants' defense contained him.

Send us a text In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," Drew and Rob dive into the latest updates and rumors surrounding the Giants, including a major change in the offensive strategy. Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed he’ll be calling plays this season, taking over the role from offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who held the position for the last two years. The Goofballs discuss the implications of Daboll’s decision and what it could mean for Daniel Jones and the entire offense as the Giants prepare for the upcoming season. Next, the podcast covers the financial details of Adoree’ Jackson’s contract, which includes a $1.7 million cap hit but no guaranteed money. With difficult-to-reach bonuses for interceptions and playing time, the Goofballs speculate on Jackson’s future with the team and how this contract structure reflects the Giants’ plans for their secondary. Joe Schoen also makes headlines for an offhand comment caught on camera during the Bears' Hard Knocks.

Send us a text Welcome to another exciting episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," hosted by Drew and Rob. In today’s live show, we dive deep into the latest news, updates, and rumors surrounding the New York Giants as they continue to shape their roster and navigate the challenges of the NFL season. From player signings and surprising cuts to scouting for future talent, the Giants are making headlines, and we've got all the details right here. First up, we discuss the return of Adoree Jackson to the Giants on a one-year deal. Despite initial statements from GM Joe Schoen suggesting contentment with the current cornerback situation, it’s clear the Giants felt the need to bolster their secondary. Rookie Andru Phillips even offered Jackson his number 22, a classy gesture that Jackson politely declined. Head Coach Brian Daboll hinted at the possibility of using Jackson as a punt returner, adding another layer of versatility to his role. However, Jackson will be on a pitch count in Week 1, which raises questions about how the Giants plan to utilize him and who he will match up against, especially considering his past encounters with top receivers like Justin Jefferson. In other intriguing news, reports surfaced about Josh Jacobs turning down a lucrative offer from the Giants. According to an interview with The Athletic, Jacobs declined an offer that was between $3 million and $4 million more than what he accepted elsewhere, citing concerns over New York taxes, lifestyle, media pressure, and the artificial turf at MetLife Stadium. This raises some serious questions: should teams like the Giants with higher state income taxes receive a higher salary cap to remain competitive? Is the turf at MetLife a deterrent for free agents? And why would the Giants be willing to offer so much for a running back in today’s NFL? However, new reports suggest that the Giants never actually made an offer to Jacobs, creating a whirlwind of confusion and speculation. Drew and Rob dig into the details, questioning how such a misunderstanding occurred and calling for the unedited interview to be released. Next, we discuss the curious case of Jakob Johnson. After being cut to make room for Adoree Jackson, Johnson is expected to return to the practice squad. This move likely reflects the strong relationship he has with Offensive Line Coach Carmen Bricillo, indicating that Johnson’s spot with the team is safe for now. In a related roster shuffle, wide receiver Miles Boykin was cut to make room for Johnson, showing the constant adjustments the Giants are making to optimize their lineup. Adding to the Giants' strategic planning, GM Joe Schoen has been spotted scouting college games, raising eyebrows about the future of the quarterback position. With Daniel Jones under pressure to prove himself, the Giants are keeping an eye on top prospects like Shedeur Sanders and Carson Beck. If Jones doesn’t show significant improvement, it might be his last year with the Giants, prompting Schoen to explore all options for the team’s future. In a lighter segment, Wan’Dale Robinson proposed a unique idea about honoring retired numbers. He suggested that players could wear numbers t Support the show All Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & Twitch Sponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs Interested in starting a podcast.

Notable cuts include offensive lineman Matt Nelson, wide receiver Allen Robinson II, and linebacker Darrian Beavers.

Send us a text In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," Drew and Rob dive deep into the latest news, updates, and rumors surrounding the New York Giants as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season. The hosts kick things off with a crucial injury update on John Michael Schmitz, whose ankle was rolled on during the recent game against the Jets. Fortunately, scans came back clear, providing a sigh of relief for Giants fans. Schmitz, who battled injuries throughout last season and has been dealing with a shoulder issue in training camp, is expected to be ready for the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Despite the scare, Schmitz remains optimistic about his condition, stating he felt fine after the incident and was merely following precautionary measures. The discussion then shifts to another key player, Evan Neal, who also made his return to the field against the Jets. This game marked Neal's first action since his previous season ended due to an ankle injury. Neal shares his excitement about being back on the field, noting the fun he had playing alongside his teammates. Although Neal gave up a sack on a bad play, he remains positive about his overall performance, citing the importance of getting back into the rhythm of the game after a long hiatus. Clear scans have confirmed that Neal is ready to go, and he too is expected to start against the Vikings. Drew and Rob also touch on the Giants' recent roster moves, highlighting the signings of several new players. Defensive lineman Kyler Baugh, a standout at Minnesota with impressive strength, joins the Giants' ranks. Cornerback Breon Borders, a journeyman with experience across 13 different teams, brings depth and versatility to the secondary. Safety Clayton Isbell, a young and promising talent from Coastal Carolina, and wide receiver John Jiles, known for his athleticism, are also new additions. The running back position sees some changes as well, with Joshua Kelley, previously a main backup for the Chargers, now donning the Giants' blue. Another new face is Lorenzo Lingard, a promising UDFA from Akron who had an impressive college career. Additionally, the Giants bolster their linebacker corps with Trey Kizer, a strong special teams player from South Alabama. Unfortunately, not all roster news is positive, as the Giants had to waive/injure some players. Defensive tackle Timmy Horn suffered a devastating Achilles injury, cutting his season short before it even began. Jonathan Sutherland, a hybrid linebacker/safety, also faced the injury bug, continuing his unlucky streak after a previous injury settlement with the Seahawks. Throughout the episode, Drew and Rob emphasize the importance of health and depth for the Giants as they aim to be competitive in the NFC East this season. They provide in-depth analysis of how these injuries and new additions could impact the Giants' lineup and overall performance.

Send us a text In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," hosts Drew and Rob dive into the latest controversy surrounding the New York Giants, sparked by comments from Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho. Acho made waves by claiming that the Giants are betraying their fans and players by continuing to start Daniel Jones at quarterback. He argues that sticking with Jones is essentially waving the white flag on the season, suggesting that the Giants should have brought in a legitimate threat to challenge Jones' starting role. Drew and Rob dissect Acho's remarks, discussing whether the Giants made a mistake by not pursuing top free-agent quarterbacks like Jimmy Garoppolo or Gardner Minshew in the offseason. The hosts also explore the implications of the Giants’ decisions and whether they truly believe in Jones as their franchise QB. The episode also covers comments from Giants Assistant GM Brandon Brown, who stated that the team is not looking to add another quarterback, reinforcing their confidence in their current depth chart. Drew and Rob debate what this means for the Giants moving forward and whether it signals a missed opportunity to strengthen the roster. Additionally, the hosts discuss the possibility of the Giants targeting Panthers CB Jaycee Horn, as well as the team's plan to be active on the waiver wire to address roster needs, particularly at cornerback. They also touch on the Giants’ recent decision to waive WR Dennis Houston as they continue to fine-tune the roster ahead of the upcoming season. Join Drew and Rob as they provide the latest updates on the New York Giants, tackle the ongoing QB controversy, and discuss the team's strategies heading into the season. #giants #nygiants #giants100 Support the Show.

Send us a text In this episode of "2 Giant Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," Drew and Rob dive deep into the highs and lows of the Giants' preseason Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans. The hosts break down the latest news, updates, and roster moves, offering their signature blend of insightful analysis and humorous banter that keeps Giants fans coming back for more. The episode kicks off with a detailed reaction to Daniel Jones' performance, where the franchise quarterback had a rough outing, going 11/18 for 138 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns. Drew and Rob critique Jones' decision-making, especially his first interception that resulted in a pick-six. They discuss the impact of these mistakes and what it means for the Giants moving forward, emphasizing the need for Jones to regain his form as the regular season approaches. The hosts then shift their focus to the standout play of Elijah Chatman, the undrafted rookie who has been making waves this preseason. After a strong performance last week, Chatman impressed again by chasing down Texans RB JJ Taylor, showcasing speed and determination rarely seen in undrafted players. Drew and Rob discuss how Chatman’s effort likely earned him a spot on the final roster. Ball security is a major concern for the Giants, as they committed five turnovers in the game—four fumbles and two interceptions. Drew and Rob analyze each turnover, expressing their concerns about the team’s ability to protect the ball and how this could be a significant issue if not addressed before the regular season. The running back situation is also under the microscope, with Devin Singletary, Eric Gray, Lorenzo Lingard, and Joshua Kelley all seeing action. The hosts critique Singletary’s lackluster performance, praise Gray's continued improvement, and express disappointment in Lingard’s costly fumble. They also consider what the future holds for these backs as the competition for roster spots heats up. Darius Slayton continues to prove his value to the Giants, making three catches for 59 yards, including a 44-yard bomb. Drew and Rob highlight Slayton's underrated role on the team and his strong rapport with Daniel Jones, making a case for why he should be a key part of the Giants' offense moving forward. The episode concludes with an overview of the latest Giants roster moves, including the waiving of Ryder Anderson, Yodny Cajuste’s move to IR, and the signing of defensive tackle Kyler Baugh and linebacker Trey Kiser. Drew and Rob discuss what these moves mean for the team’s depth and speculate on possible future signings as the Giants create additional cap space.

Send us a text In this episode of "2 Giant Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," Drew and Rob dive into the latest updates from the Giants' injury report as the preseason intensifies. Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a scare during training camp when he went down untouched after muffing a kickoff. Initially feared to be a season-ending injury, it's been confirmed that Tracy Jr. is dealing with an ankle sprain, and he’s expected to be sidelined until late August or early September. Dante "Turbo" Miller's availability for the upcoming game against the Texans is uncertain due to a hamstring issue that limited him in practice on Tuesday. Malik Nabers is also facing a low ankle sprain but remains optimistic about his readiness for Week 1. He hasn’t ruled out playing in the preseason finale against the Jets, but the hosts ponder whether missing time in camp could affect his start to the season. They even draw parallels to Odell Beckham Jr.'s explosive rookie year after returning from injury. Lawrence Cager is dealing with a groin injury, and head coach Brian Daboll has indicated that Cager will be out for a while, listing him as week to week. Jon Runyan Jr. also got banged up during Monday's practice, hurting his shoulder. While the injury doesn’t appear serious, the Giants are taking precautions by likely keeping him out for a bit, prioritizing his health for the regular season. On a brighter note, Evan Neal and John Michael Schmitz are back in team drills and seem to be on track for Saturday’s game. Andru Phillips missed practice with an ankle injury, but Daboll assured it’s nothing major. Gervarrius Owens, however, missed Sunday’s practice due to a knee injury, and while the severity remains unknown, a long absence could jeopardize his spot on the roster. Lastly, Drew and Rob discuss the implications of Vikings QB JJ McCarthy’s season-ending surgery on the torn meniscus, making it official that he won’t be facing the Giants this season. The big question now is whether Sam Darnold will step up as the starting quarterback for the Vikings or if they might look to bring in a veteran like Ryan Tannehill as a stopgap solution. #giants #nygiants #giants100 Support the Show.

Send us a text Drew Lock is confident he'll be ready for the season opener, assuring everyone there's "no worry" about his readiness for Week 1. Though he's already back to throwing, he admits he's not launching 60- or 70-yard passes yet. If healthy, Lock is expected to be the QB2, primarily due to his contract, but it remains to be seen whether Tommy DeVito will also stay on the roster. Lock also addressed the boos he received when he threw an interception and Tommy DeVito replaced him during a game. He acknowledged the crowd's reaction, attributing it to his mistake and praising DeVito's performance last season. Lock's attitude is fitting for New York—taking responsibility and moving forward, recognizing that fans can overreact during preseason, especially with new players. In other news, Tyree Jackson, a converted tight end who played quarterback at Buffalo, is being listed as the emergency QB for the Giants in their game against the Texans. Though unlikely to make the final roster, Jackson's role highlights the experimental nature of preseason, where teams explore different options before the regular season begins. Daniel Jones is expected to start against the Texans in what will be his first game action since his ACL injury. While his performance will undoubtedly be scrutinized, it’s important to remember that this is just a preseason game, and Week 1 will provide a clearer picture of what lies ahead. Malik Nabers has suffered a left ankle sprain, though a fracture was avoided. He's listed as day-to-day, with the coaching staff planning to ease him back into practice as he recovers. Starting cornerback Cor’Dale Flott is dealing with a quad injury and will miss the upcoming week, opening the door for players like Nick McCloud to compete for his spot. Meanwhile, Dyontae Johnson, who shined during the preseason win against the Lions with a sack and two tackles for loss, is now week-to-week with a sprained ankle, which could impact his chances of making the roster. Evan Neal and John Michael Schmitz are back in practice, with Neal expressing his willingness to embrace any role the team has for him, including as a backup or even a guard. Schmitz, initially limited to individual drills, is also expected to play against the Texans, as live game reps are crucial for the starting offensive line to build familiarity. In roster moves, the Giants have signed RB Lorenzo Lingard and waived Jacob Saylors. Lingard, a UDFA out of Akron, faces stiff competition in a crowded backfield and is unlikely to make the roster. The Giants also signed LB K.J. Cloyd while waiving CB Kaleb Hayes. Cloyd, who was originally signed by the Vikings, might find a spot on the practice squad, especially with the recent injuries at linebacker. The Giants' Madden 25 ratings were also revealed, with notable scores including Daniel Jones at 71, Drew Lock at 64, and Dexter Lawrence leading the defensive line with a 95 rating. #giants #nygiants #giants100 Support the Show.
