The New York Giants (2-8) will continue the regular season against the Green Bay Packers (5-3-1) on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
In what has become an alarming trend, the Giants will enter this game significantly banged up with as many as 16 players listed on their injury report this week. The Packers are also dealing with some injuries, but nowhere near the severity of the Giants.
Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka briefed reporters before practice on Friday and updated the status of several players, including cornerback Paulson Adebo, who will return on Sunday.
“It means you get a great player on the perimeter with a lot of confidence,” Kafka said of Adebo’s return. “I’m excited to watch him fly around. He’s a guy that I’ve been talking to a lot this week, and I think he’s in the right frame of mind.”
The news wasn’t nearly as positive for others, including defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches and safety Tyler Nubin.
“Those guys, I would say Tyler Nubin is doubtful, and Nacho is doubtful,” Kafka noted.
