The Giants will play their first primetime game of the season without several of their primetime players.
Saquon Barkley, Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard – the team’s top running back, tight end and wide receiver, respectively – have been ruled out for Thursday night’s game against the Patriots. So was Wayne Gallman, the backup running back who started in place of Barkley before suffering a concussion early in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings.
Shepard, who also suffered a concussion against the Vikings, was not expected back in time for the game against the Patriots.
