McFadden (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. McFadden popped up on the Giants' injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to a heel issue, putting his status for Week 12 in question, although the linebacker told Dan Duggan of The Athletic he expects to play. If McFadden is sidelined Sunday, Ty Summers and Darius Muasau (hamstring) are likely to see increased work with the Giants' first-team defense.

McFadden (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. McFadden popped up on the Giants' injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to a heel issue, putting his status for Week 12 in question, although the linebacker told Dan Duggan of The Athletic he expects to play. If McFadden is sidelined Sunday, Ty Summers and Darius Muasau (hamstring) are likely to see increased work with the Giants' first-team defense.
McFadden registered seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Panthers. McFadden has logged at least five tackles in eight of nine regular-season games, and he's well on pace to reach 100 tackles for a second consecutive regular season. He's up to 65 combined tackles on the year, which is third-most on the Giants behind Bobby Okereke (75) and Tyler Nubin (69).
McFadden recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's loss to Washington. McFadden led New York in stops and posted his second double-digit tackle tally of the campaign. The third-year linebacker logged 80 percent of the Giants' defensive snaps, his highest total since Week 2. McFadden has registered at least four tackles in all eight of his contests this season and has posted 58 tackles overall, including 2.0 sacks.
McFadden registered eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in Thursday's defeat against Dallas. McFadden was a limited practice participant to begin the week due to a back injury, but he was able to suit up for the Thursday night game and logged 75 percent of New York's defensive snaps. After not seeing the field Week 1, McFadden has started each of the Giants' three games since and has averaged nine tackles while tallying 1.5 sacks during that span.
McFadden (back) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. McFadden sustained a back injury during the Giants' Week 3 win over the Browns, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he'll suit up Thursday night. Expect the 24-year-old to start alongside Bobby Okereke as part of the Giants' top inside linebacker duo in Week 4.
McFadden (back) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. McFadden exited and returned to Sunday's win over the Browns due to a back injury, recording six total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, while playing 48 defensive snaps. His participation Tuesday and Wednesday will likely provide a better indication of whether the third-year linebacker will be able to suit up for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Cowboys.
McFadden (back) has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. McFadden was deemed questionable to return after sustaining a back injury, but the 2022 fifth-round pick is back on the field for the Giants.
McFadden is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a back injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. McFadden walked off the field with training staff following a tackle on Jerome Ford. Ty Summers and Darius Muasau are candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Bobby Okereke while McFadden is sidelined.
McFadden tallied 13 tackles (seven solo), including one sack, in a loss to the Commanders on Sunday. McFadden didn't see the field Week 1 against Minnesota, but he got the start Sunday with Darius Muasau out with a knee injury. McFadden took advantage of the opportunity with a team-leading tackle total that included a third-quarter sack of Jayden Daniels. McFadden did briefly leave the game with an injury in the second quarter, but he was able to return and finish out the contest. It remains to be seen how he'll be used moving forward, and Muasau's injury status could certainly play a part in McFadden's snap count.
