Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. The veteran defensive lineman got in a round of limited practices this week and will be back in the lineup after missing the previous two contests. He started the previous 12 games and has logged 45 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five QB hits and two batted passes this season.
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Wednesday's limited practice session suggests Nunez-Roches could be in line to return for the Giants' Week 16 matchup against the Falcons after missing the team's previous two games due to neck and shoulder injuries. However, his participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play Sunday. If Nunez-Roches misses his third game in a row, expect Casey Rogers to serve as one of the Giants' top defensive ends.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Nunez-Roches will miss his second consecutive game, the first two absences he's logged through the 2024 regular season. With the veteran defensive end unavailable, New York will have to rely on Casey Rogers and Elijah Garcia to handle increased defensive roles versus Baltimore.
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Nunez-Roches' absence from Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise, as the veteran defensive lineman missed the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints due to neck and shoulder injuries. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 15, when the Giants host the Ravens.
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints. Nunez-Roches suffered neck and shoulder injuries during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys. The injuries prevented him from practicing all week, and the 2015 sixth-round pick will shift his focus toward returning for Week 15 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 15. The Giants' defensive front has been decimated by injuries, so with Nunez-Roches sidelined, Dexter Lawrence (elbow) on injured reserve and D.J. Davidson (shoulder) unlikely to play Sunday, Cory Durden -- who the Giants signed off the Rams' practice squad Sunday -- is in line to make his 2024 regular-season debut next to starters Elijah Chatman and Jordon Riley.
Nunez-Roches (neck) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report. Nunez-Roches suffered a neck injury during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys this past Thursday. The injury sidelined him for Wednesday's session, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Nunez-Roches (neck) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Nunez-Roches was quickly ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game after suffering a neck injury. Jordon Riley and Elijah Chatman will be the two lone defensive lineman for the Giants for the rest of Sunday's game due to injuries to Nunez-Roches, D.J. Davidson (shoulder) and Dexter Lawrence (elbow).
Nunez-Roches (neck) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nunez-Roches joined Dexter Lawrence (elbow) and D.J. Davidson (shoulder) as the third Giants defensive lineman to suffer an injury Thursday. Nunez-Roches struggled to the sideline following the injury and was evaluated by trainers in the blue medical tent. Jordon Riley and Elijah Chatman are the only healthy defensive linemnan for the Giants due to injuries to Nunez-Roches, Lawrence and Davidson.
