Eli Apple Unlikely To Play In Week 3

New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple (groin) suffered a groin injury in Week 2 that will likely keep him out this weekend against the Texans. B.W.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]

Jon Halapio Out For The Season

New York Giants center Jon Halapio (ankle, leg) broke his lower leg and ankle in Week 2 against the Cowboys and will have surgery to fix both injuries. He will miss the rest of the season. It's an ominous sign for an already bad offensive line. While it's great news that rookie running back Saquon […]

Sterling Shepard Quiet With Three Catches

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught three passes for 24 yards in the Giants 20-13 loss to the Cowboys in Week 2.

Evan Engram Catches Late Touchdown

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram caught seven passes for 67 yards, including a touchdown in garbage time of the Giants 20-13 loss to the Cowboys.
