New York Giants Week 8 Injury Report: Cornerbacks Ailing

The New York Giants could be without two cornerbacks for Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters prior to Thursday’s practice that corners Cor’Dale Flott (groin) and Adoree Jackson (neck) will not practice on Thursday. 

Flott was injured in last week’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Daboll didn’t sound so sure that Flott would be available for the game on Monday but wasn’t quite ready to rule him out just yet.

Jackson was inactive last week after showing up on the injury report with his neck issue leading up to the game.

Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hip) and Ty Summers (ankle) will also be held out of practice. Of those, though, Lawrence is expected to be good to go for Monday’s game.  

Punter Jamie Gillan, who has missed two games with a hamstring strain, will do some work on the side to see how he is feeling. Gillan was spotted leaving the locker room last week walking with no sign of a limp, so hopefully he is trending in the right direction.

Outside linebacker Brian Burns (groin) and wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (rib) were both set to give practice a go, though it’s likely both will be limited to start.
