3 Giants downgraded to OUT for Sunday Night Football
The New York Giants continued a busy Saturday by downgrading three players — punter Jamie Gillan, running back Devin Singletary, and wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton — to out for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Giants had already declared rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers out for a second straight week due to his concussion.
The Giants also placed edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux (fractured wrist) on IR Saturday.
Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and running back Dante Miller were elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week.
The Gillan news was anticipated after the Giants signed veteran punter Matt Haack to their 53-man roster earlier on Saturday.
Singletary will miss a second straight game with a groin injury. Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a breakout 18-carry, 129-yard performance last week against the Seattle Seahawks while taking over for Singletary. Tracy will again be the Giants’ primary backon Sunday night.
Ford-Wheaton, who returned Isaiah Simmons’ blocked field goal 60 yards for a game-clinching touchdown against Seattle, has a shoulder injury.
