A number of New York Giants players were not on the field Wednesday as the team held its first full practice after returning from its Week 14 bye.
Not practicing were:
DL D.J. Davidson
OLB Victor Dimukeje
P Jamie Gillan
CB Nic Jones
DL Rakeem Nuñez-Roches Sr.
WR Gunner Olszewski
G Greg Van Roten
OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux
Thibodeaux has missed three games with a shoulder injury, and this news means he could be headed for a fourth straight.
The Giants on Tuesday signed veteran punter Cameron Johnston to their practice squad when news of Gillan’s injury surfaced.
Olszewski took a massive helmet-to-helmet hit while returning a kickoff in the Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots.
Running back Tryone Tracy, who suffered a hip injury in that Week 13 game, is apparently fine.
Full information on injuries and practice statuses will be available later.
More practice windows opened
Interim head coach Mike Kafka on Wednesday announced that the Giants are opening the 21-day practice windows for offensive lineman Josh Ezeudu and wide receiver Beaux Collins. Ezeudu has been on injured reserve due to a calf injury with a designation to return all season. Collins has been on IR since suffering a Week 9 neck injury.
