Runyan (ankle) was moved to injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Runyan hurt his ankle last Sunday against the Saints and was deemed week-to-week soon thereafter. It turns out the veteran lineman won't play again this season, as his move to IR will require him to sit out New York's final four contests. Aaron Stinnie is the most likely candidate to start at left guard in Runyan's absence.

Won't play again this season
Runyan (ankle) was moved to injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Runyan hurt his ankle last Sunday against the Saints and was deemed week-to-week soon thereafter. It turns out the veteran lineman won't play again this season, as his move to IR will require him to sit out New York's final four contests. Aaron Stinnie is the most likely candidate to start at left guard in Runyan's absence.
Unavailable to face Baltimore
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Runyan (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Daboll previously said Runyan is "week-to-week, maybe more" after picking up an ankle injury during New York's loss to the Saints in Week 14, so it's not entirely surprising to see the starting left guard ruled out to face Baltimore. Aaron Stinnie and Jake Kubas will both be candidates to step into the starting lineup with Runyan unavailable.
Could miss time
Head coach Brian Daboll stated Monday that Runyan (ankle) is "week-to-week, maybe more," Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Runyan's timeline could mean anything for the remainder of the Michigan product's season. A clearer picture of his status for this Sunday's game against the Ravens will likely come later in the week. If he's unable to suit up, Aaron Stinnie will likely be the next man up at left guard for the Giants.
Leaves game due to ankle injury
Runyan (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Runyan suffered an ankle injury early in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Aaron Stinnie has taken over at left guard while Runyan is evaluated on the sidelines.
Left off injury report
Runyan (shoulder) wasn't on the Giants' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings. Runyan missed some time in August due to a shoulder injury, but it appears he's recovered just in time for the Giants' Week 1 affair. The Michigan product inked a three-year, $30 million deal with the Giants this past offseason, and he's expected to start at left guard in his first season in New York.
Nearing return to practice
Runyan (shoulder) is nearing a return to the practice field with the Giants, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Runyan remained unavailable for Tuesday's practice session, but head coach Brian Daboll said that the offensive lineman is "close" to a return. Runyan signed with New York in the offseason and he's expected to operate as a starting offensive guard in 2024.
Joining Giants
The Giants plan to sign Runyan to a three-year, $30 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Runyan hasn't missed a game since he was drafted in the sixth round by Green Bay in 2020, so the Giants are expecting to get stability at one of their guard spots for the future. He likely fits best at right guard with the Giants.
