New York Giants Injury Update: Potential Bad News for Offensive Line
The injuries continue to pile up for the New York Giants. Here is the latest.
That’s not good for an offensive line that has already lost left tackle Andrew Thomas (lis franc) for the season, and which has not had starting tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) or Christopher Hubbard (knee) in the lineup.

Runyan’s injury isn’t the only fresh one suffered by the unit. Center John Michael Schmitz is “sore” per Daboll, who added that the second year center had an MRI done on his neck which he injured in the loss to the Saints. Schmitz was replaced in the lineup by right guard Greg Van Roten, who was replaced by Jake Kubas at right guard. Runyan was replaced by Aaron Stinnie.

In other Giants injury news, safety Tyler Nubin, the team’s leader in tackles with 98 tackles, has an ankle injury that he suffered in the game. Nubin, who was added to the Giants’ injury report late last week with a knee ailment, underwent an MRI on Monday, the results of which weren’t available when Daboll spoke to the media.


Daboll also said that quarterback Drew Lock, who had X-rays done after the game, is sore as well and was awaiting results of a MRI. Lock is believed to have injured his foot during the loss, but if he is healthy enough, Daboll said Lock will remain the starting quarterback this coming weekend when the Giants host the Baltimore Ravens.

Giants Make Multiple Roster and Practice Squad Moves
The injuries keep piling up for the New York Giants in a lost 2024 season, forcing them to shuffle their roster.
The New York Giants made several moves on their 53-man roster and practice squad thanks to injuries.

Second-year cornerback Tre Hawkins III, who came up with the Giants’ first interception on Sunday since Week 1, was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a back injury. Hawkins appeared in three games this season, with one start (this past Sunday). He ends his season with ten tackles and one season and becomes the eleventh Giants player to land on injured reserve.


To replace Hawkins on the 53-man roster, the Giants signed cornerback Greg Stroman off their practice squad. Stroman, who joined the Giants practice squad on October 1, has been elevated from the practice squad a maximum of three times, primarily to provide help on special teams and depth at cornerback, where he has four solo tackles.

The Giants also filled four practice squad openings by signing quarterback Tim Boyle, defensive tackle Ross Blacklock, and cornerbacks Ekow Boye-Doe and Azizi Hearn.

Boyle was cut by the Giants last week to make room for defensive linemen Casey Rogers and Elijah Garcia, both of whom were added to provide depth to the injury-depleted defensive line, and for cornerback/return specialist Dee Williams, who was awarded off waivers from Seattle.


Blacklock, 6-5 and 306 pounds, was originally a second-round draft pick by the Texans out of TCU in 2020. He spent two seasons with the Texans and then moved to the Minnesota Vikings in 2022. In 2023, he split his time between the Jaguars, Colts and Titans.

Blacklock has appeared in 44 career games with three starts. He has 49 career tackles (27 solos), five tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, and nine quarterback hits.

Boye-Doe, 6-0 and 177 pounds, played his college ball at Kansas State. He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2023, for whom he appeared in six games (one on defense) with no starts, contributing mostly on special teams.


Hearn, 6-2 and 204 pounds signed as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA with the Raiders in 2023. He has yet to play in an NFL regular-season game.

The Giants' final move on Tuesday was to designate interior offensive lineman Jimmy Morrissey as injured on the practice squad. The team did not disclose Morrissey’s injury.
