Muasau is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers in Munich due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Muasau was listed as questionable heading into Sunday after the hamstring injury limited his practice participation Thursday and Friday. The reserve linebacker has recorded 11 tackles and one interception over his eight appearances on the season.
Muasau (knee) is active Week 3 against the Browns, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. After accumulating six tackles and an interception in Week 1, Muasau was forced to sit out Week 2 due to a knee injury. Despite tallying three consecutive limited practices leading up to Sunday, the rookie will be available to provide linebacker depth for the Giants.
Muasau (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland. Muasau was limited all week at practice, so his availability for Week 3 seems close to a coin-flip proposition. If he can't play Sunday, it would probably mean more snaps for Micah McFadden.
Muasau (knee) was listed as limited on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Muasau missed the team's Week 2 loss to the Commanders after being unable to get on the practice field all week. His return, albeit limited, Wednesday is a step in the right direction for the rookie out of UCLA. Barring any setbacks, he's likely on the right trajectory to suit up this Sunday against the Browns.
Muasau (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Commanders. This news comes as no surprise, as the rookie linebacker out of UCLA was held out of practice all week due to a knee injury following an impressive NFL debut that featured six total tackles and a pick in Week 1. Expect Micah McFadden to see increased work in the Giants' linebacker corps while Muasau continues to recover.
Muasau posted six tackles (four solo) and intercepted a pass in a Week 1 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. Muasau had a successful NFL regular-season debut after being selected in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft. The linebacker recorded two particularly notable plays -- an interception of Sam Darnold late in the third quarter and a tackle of running back Myles Gaskin for a three-yard loss late in the fourth, though Minnesota was essentially running out the clock on the latter play. Muasau played 82 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest, earning that workload with his strong play. Per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, Micah McFadden was slated to be on a snap "pitch count" if Muasua struggled, but McFadden didn't end up seeing the field due to the rookie's performance.
