Theo Johnson, John Michael Schmitz won’t play.
The New York Giants on Saturday ruled out two more starters for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Starting center John Michael Schmitz (finger) and tight end Theo Johnson (illness) did not travel to Las Vegas with the team on Saturday, and will not play.
Schmitz had been listed as doubtful on Friday. Schmitz and Johnson join left tackle Andrew Thomas, safety Tyler Nubin, and defensive tackle D.J. Davidson as Giants who will not play Sunday.
Johnson, a second-year player, is the Giants’ second-leading receiver with 45 receptions. Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz are the other tight ends on the 53-man roster. The Giants have three tight ends — Tanner Conner, Zach Davidson, Maximillian Mang — on their practice squad.
The Giants and Raiders are both 2-13 with nine-game losing streaks. The loser of the game has an excellent chance to get the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
