McCloud (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. McCloud was injured in the Week 1 opener against the Vikings and will now miss his second straight contest. Deonte Banks, Cor'Dale Flott, Andru Phillips and Adoree' Jackson are slated to handle cornerback duties this week against Cleveland.
McCloud (knee) was listed as a nonparticipant on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. McCloud suffered the injury in Week 1 and was unable to play this past Sunday against the Commanders. As the Giants begin to prep for a Week 3 matchup with the Browns, the Notre Dame product will remain sidelined, He'll likely need to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday if he's going to play Sunday.
McCloud (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Commanders. The fourth-year cornerback was unable to practice all week after suffering a knee injury in Week 1, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. With McCloud sidelined, expect Adoree' Jackson and Tre Hawkins to see increased snaps in the Giants' secondary.
McCloud sustained a knee injury during Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings and is considered day-to-day, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. The Notre Dame product's target return date seems to be up in the air, as Vacchiano also reported that he could miss "weeks" despite being listed as day-to-day. McCloud logged two total tackles and played 19 defensive snaps before sustaining the knee injury, and Adoree' Jackson and Tre Hawkins are expected to see more reps with the Giants' first-team defense as McCloud recovers.
McCloud is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a knee injury, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports. McCloud registered two solo tackles before exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's game. While McCloud remains sidelined, Adoree' Jackson will see more snaps at corner opposite starter Deonte Banks.
McCloud (back) re-signed with the Giants on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. McCloud finished his 2023 campaign on the sidelines after getting injured in the team's season finale against the Eagles. Healthy now, the Notre Dame product can focus on being ready for a third campaign in New York after signing his free-agent tender.
