According to the Giants' official Twitter account, Shurmur said the following regarding Vernon's status Friday: "It's safe to say that Olivier Vernon isn't going to make it this week. ... He's making progress and we'd love to have him on the field."
Vernon has not practiced this week due to a high ankle sprain.
