New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy, Jr. has returned to practice on a limited basis after dealing with an ankle injury that sidelined him for two days. He has been cleared to play in the upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, as he does not carry an injury designation. In contrast, fellow rookie receiver Malik Nabers, who has been struggling with a toe injury, participated in practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. Nabers is aiming for his first 1,000-yard season and has indicated that his availability will be determined closer to game time.

Unfortunately, the Giants will be without four other starters who have missed practice this week and have been ruled out for the game. These players include center John Michael Schmitz (ankle), cornerback Greg Stroman (shoulder/shin), defensive back Raheem Layne (knee), and inside linebacker Micah McFadden (neck). Coach Brian Daboll confirmed that guard Greg Van Roten, who appeared on the injury report due to a knee issue, will start at center. Additionally, inside linebacker Dyontae Johnson is expected to see significant playing time, along with Ty Summers. The team is also considering activating guard Austin Schlottmann, who is currently in a 21-day practice window after returning from injured reserve.

The New York Giants returned to practice after a brief session on Christmas Day, facing a series of injury challenges that could impact their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that several key players, including receiver Malik Nabers, center John Michael Schmitz, cornerback Greg Stroman, defensive back Raheem Layne, and linebacker Micah McFadden, would not participate in practice on Thursday. While Daboll refrained from ruling any of these players out for the game, their lack of practice raises concerns about their availability.

Malik Nabers has been particularly plagued by injuries, having missed games earlier in the season due to a concussion and now dealing with multiple lower body injuries, including a tight groin and a hip flexor. He described himself as a 'gametime decision' for Sunday, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding his condition. If Schmitz cannot play, the team may shift Greg Van Roten from right guard to center, and Austin Schlottman could be activated from IR.

The injury situation is compounded by Layne's potential placement on IR due to a torn meniscus, which may force the Giants to make further roster adjustments. As the team prepares for the final games of the season, the health of these players will be crucial in determining their performance against the Colts and beyond.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that quarterback Drew Lock is expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts despite a challenging performance last week. Lock's recent game included two interceptions returned for touchdowns, but Daboll emphasizes the importance of continuity for the offense.

Injury concerns loom for the Giants, with linebacker Micah McFadden and several others not participating in practice due to various injuries. Defensive back Raheem Layne, recently signed, will miss the rest of the season due to a torn meniscus.

The New York Giants have placed offensive lineman Jon Runyan Jr. on injured reserve due to an ankle injury sustained in a recent loss. Coach Brian Daboll indicated that Runyan's recovery could take longer than expected. This marks Runyan's first career games missed due to injury, making him the second starting lineman on IR this season, alongside Andrew Thomas.

To fill the gap, Aaron Stinnie will step in at left guard, while quarterback Tim Boyle has been signed from the practice squad to back up starter Tommy DeVito. Additionally, defensive back Raheem Layne has been elevated to provide depth after rookie Tyler Nubin was placed on IR.
