The New York Giants held a short practice on Thursday morning before dismissing their players for Thanksgiving Day festivities, which may have been the best news of the day because things weren’t as positive on the injury front.
In addition to safety Jabrill Peppers (back) and wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) remaining sidelined, tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) were still not participating in practice.
“He’s still on the report, so we’ll just see. We’ll just have to see,” head coach Pat Shurmur said of Engram on Wednesday. “I mean he’s making progress. But we’ll see if we have enough time with regard to this game.”
With only a Friday practice (and Saturday walkthrough) remaining, it seems unlikely that either Engram or Ellison will be cleared in time to play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Ditto Tate and Peppers.
The Giants also added long-snapper Zak DeOssie to the injury report with knee and wrist injuries that will reportedly end his season.
