The New York Giants’ injury report for Thursday looked nearly identical to Wednesday’s. Wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton (hamstring injuries) and starting guard Ben Bredeson (hand) again missed practice.

Linebacker Tae Crowder, though, was added to the report on Thursday. He was listed as limited with a hamstring issue. That is a potentially significant development. With Blake Martinez having been lost for the season with a torn ACL, the 2020 seventh-round pick has become the Giants’ defensive signal-caller. His loss could turn a difficult situation into a chaotic one.
