Thibodeaux (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Thibodeaux upgraded to full participation Thursday and Friday after opening the Giants' week of practice with a limited session, suggesting he's trending toward returning in Week 12. However, the 2022 first-round pick must still be activated to the Giants' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If he's sidelined for the sixth consecutive game, expect Azeez Ojulari to see additional work with the Giants' first-team defense.

Thibodeaux (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Thibodeaux upgraded to full participation Thursday and Friday after opening the Giants' week of practice with a limited session, suggesting he's trending toward returning in Week 12. However, the 2022 first-round pick must still be activated to the Giants' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If he's sidelined for the sixth consecutive game, expect Azeez Ojulari to see additional work with the Giants' first-team defense.
Thibodeaux (wrist) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Thibodeaux's first practice since being designated to return from injured reserve was a limited session, which suggests he could be nearing a return to the field. Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Wednesday that he's "optimistic" Thibodeaux will play in the Giants' Week 12 matchup against the Buccaneers, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. However, the 2022 first-round pick from Oregon must still be activated to the Giants' active roster in order to suit up Sunday.
The Giants designated Thibodeaux (wrist) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday. Thibodeaux has been sidelined for the Giants' past five games recovering from surgery to repair a broken wrist, but it now looks like he's on pace to come back soon. Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that the team is "optimistic" Thibodeaux will be able to play Sunday versus the Buccaneers.
Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that he doesn't expect Thibodeaux (wrist) to be activated from injured reserve for Week 10, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. All signs are pointing to Thibodeaux missing his fifth straight contest in Week 10 as he continues to nurse a broken wrist. The Giants are scheduled for a bye in Week 11, so his next chance to suit up should come in Week 12 versus the Buccaneers.
The Giants will place Thibodeaux (wrist) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. This move was not unexpected, as Thibodeaux's wrist injury -- a breaking of the scaphoid bone -- has a return timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. The third-year pass rusher will need to miss at least New York's next four games, so his earliest possible return date will be Nov. 10 for a contest against Carolina. Azeez Ojulari will likely take over in a pass-rushing starting role for as long as Thibodeaux remains sidelined.
Thibodeaux (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Thibodeaux underwent wrist surgery Wednesday and could even be placed on injured reserve according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, so it's no surprise that Thibodeaux won't play in Sunday's contest. The 2022 first-round pick out of Oregon has accumulated 12 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across the Giants' first five games this season. Expect Azeez Ojulari or Patrick Johnson to start opposite Brian Burnes as part of the Giants' top pass-rushing duo in Thibodeaux's stead.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Thibodeaux (wrist) underwent surgery Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Thibodeaux seems likely to miss Sunday's game against the Bengals, if not longer, as he works his way back from the wrist procedure. The standout pass rusher has played above 70 percent of defensive snaps in all five of New York's games, and piling up 12 tackles (eight solo) and two sacks. Patrick Johnson and Azeez Ojulari will be candidates to handle increased roles at outside linebacker while Thibodeaux is on the mend.
Thibodeaux recorded three tackles, including a sack, in Thursday's Week 4 loss to Dallas. Thibodeaux's sack came late in the second quarter and stalled the Cowboys' attempt to put up more points before halftime. The third-year edge rusher has 1.5 sacks through four weeks, so he'll need to step up the pace in order to reach the 11.5 sacks he posted last year. Thibodeaux logged a season-high 82 percent of New York's defensive snaps in Thursday's loss.
Thibodeaux (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns and is expected to play. Thibodeaux got in a round of limited practices this week but is ready to go versus Cleveland. His presence could be needed even more with Brian Burns (groin) added to the injury report Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday. Thibodeaux has four tackles (three solo) and three QB hits through two games but is still looking for his first sack of the year.
