EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants will be without two key defensive starters -- outside linebacker Olivier Vernon and cornerback Eli Apple -- when they host the New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Starting tight end Evan Engram (knee) also was officially ruled out Friday after suffering an injury against the Houston Texans last Sunday. Running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) and wide receiver Cody Latimer (knee) also won't play.
Vernon (high ankle sprain) and Apple (groin) both returned to practice this week.
