Giants Week 2 injury report and the cornerback room is the whole story. Paulson Adebo and Deonte Banks were both out of Thursday's practice. Greg Newsome II was on the field. The Giants play the Rams on Monday night at SoFi against Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
The Adebo situation is four things happening at once. He played nine defensive snaps in Week 1 on a $24.2 million cap hit. Joey Porter Jr. trade talk has had the Giants named as a team to watch all week. New York signed cornerback Jaden Robinson to the practice squad on Wednesday, a six foot corner out of Oregon State whose position coach in Denver, Addison Lynch, is now the Giants defensive backs coach. And Adebo has now missed back to back practices. Any one of those is nothing. Together they are worth talking about. Per Over The Cap, cutting him costs more than keeping him, so a trade is the only clean exit.
Banks was sidelined by cramps in the second half against Dallas and was seen Wednesday with a sleeve on his right lower leg. If he and Adebo cannot go, the room is Newsome, Dru Phillips, rookie Colton Hood and possibly an elevation.
Better news at receiver. Malik Nabers called himself a little sore and manageable, said he was rusty, and said he left probably two touchdowns on the field. He did that on 36 snaps, 52 percent, with 24 routes and nine targets. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
