There is no indication that his availability is in question, but he is by far their best player on defense, so it is significant regardless.They also have a couple guys in the secondary with injuries, including starter Cor’Dale Flott who is dealing with a groin problem. Secondary depth could end up being a big question for the Giants as it was for the Jets against the Steelers a week ago. It won’t draw as many headlines, but their punter was also unable to practice with a hamstring.Fortunately for both teams, they have an extra day with this game being played on Monday.Below is the Giants’ Friday injury report, per Dan Salomone on X.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">GIANTS INJURY REPORT 10/25Did Not Participate in Practice: ▪️ OLB Brian Burns (Groin/Achilles) ▪️ OT Jermaine Eluemunor (Hip) ▪️ P Jamie Gillan (Left Hamstring) ▪️ CB Adoree’ Jackson (Neck) ▪️ LB Ty Summers (Ankle)Limited: ▪️ CB Cor’Dale Flott (Groin) ▪️ CB Tre Hawkins III… <a href="https://t.co/LDGKi2YmPa">pic.twitter.com/LDGKi2YmPa</a>— Dan Salomone (@Dan_Salomone) <a href="https://twitter.com/Dan_Salomone/status/1849899814474883379?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 25, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote>GIANTS’ WEEK 8 FRIDAY INJURY REPORTDNPLB Ty Summers (ankle)CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck)P Jamie Gillan (hamstring)OLB Brian Burns (groin/Achilles)OT Jermaine Eluemunor (hip)LIMITEDCB Tre Hawkins III (ankle)CB Cor’Dale Flott (groin)NT Dexter Lawrence (hip)FULLWR Jalin Hyatt (ribs)WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles)The most notable developments on the Friday report are Dexter Lawrence moving in the right direction from a non-participant to a limited participant and Brian Burns moving in the wrong direction from limited to DNP.

Still, their other starting tackle is out and the Steelers’ defensive line should have a field day. Eluemunor could still be less than 100 percent with a hip injury, which is not where you want to be against T.J.
