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 waiver wire for Week 17 presents several intriguing options for fantasy football managers, particularly in light of injuries across various teams.

Jaylon Carlies of the Indianapolis Colts emerges as a top target if E.J. Speed remains sidelined. The Buffalo Bills also face defensive challenges, creating opportunities for players in linebacker and safety positions.

Other notable mentions include Owen Pappoe from the Arizona Cardinals and Jacoby Windmon of the Carolina Panthers, both of whom could see increased playing time due to injuries on their respective teams.

The New York Giants are facing a significant shortage in their cornerback lineup for the upcoming Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Adoree’ Jackson and Cor’Dale Flott have been ruled out due to injuries, while Tre Hawkins III will play a limited role.

Additionally, the Giants have elevated players from their practice squad to fill gaps left by inactive members, including punter Jamie Gillan and linebacker Ty Summers. Pittsburgh also has its share of injury concerns, with Justin Fields listed as their emergency quarterback.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields will be the third QB for the upcoming game against the New York Giants after suffering a hamstring tweak. Fields had previously started the first six games while Russell Wilson recovered from injury.

Running back Cordarrelle Patterson will miss his fourth consecutive game, while linebacker Nick Herbig and center Zach Frazier are also sidelined due to injuries. The Steelers have placed rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson on injured reserve.

For the Giants, several players including cornerbacks Adoree' Jackson and Cor'Dale Flott are inactive for the matchup.
