The New York Giants are in desperate need of a win on Sunday as they take on the Houston Texans (0-2) at NRG Stadium.
Getting a win on the road in the NFL is never easy and the task might be even more difficult for the Giants if they’re without three key defensive players.
Olivier Vernon (ankle), Eli Apple (groin) and Connor Barwin (knee) were all unable to practice on Wednesday which leaves their status for Sunday up in the air.
Apple spoke to the media on Wednesday about the importance of being on the field on Sunday, versus taking time to recover from the groin injury he sustained against the Cowboys.
