New York coach Brian Daboll confirmed that Bredeson has cleared the concussion protocol. The starting left guard suffered the concussion in the team's Week 2 win over Arizona before missing its Week 3 loss to San Francisco.
Ojulari hasn't played since Week 1 when he suffered the injury, but he appears to be nearing a return. According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, the Georgia product was doing 2-on-2 pass rush drills at full speed during practice, which could be a sign he'll likely be ready to return Monday against the Seahawks.
The second-year tight end either sustained the neck injury at some point during Thursday's session or is still hurting after playing 43 total snaps (28 on offense, 15 on special teams) in the Giants' Week 3 loss to the 49ers. Though he's dropped to second on the depth chart at tight end behind offseason pickup Darren Waller in 2023, Bellinger has handled offensive snap shares north of 60 percent in two of the team's first three games. The Giants being on the wrong side of blowouts likely played a part in the elevated playing time, however, as he handled a more modest 40 percent share in a three-point win over the Cardinals in Week 2.
Though head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged prior to the session that Barkley was scheduled to take part in individual drills for the first time since suffering a right ankle sprain Week 2 versus the Cardinals, the running back apparently felt well enough to take at least some additional reps with the team. Barkley's limited participation Thursday doesn't guarantee his availability for Monday's game against the Seahawks, as the Giants will continue to monitor his health over the final two practices of Week 4 before updating his status. While Barkley was sidelined for last Thursday's loss to the Eagles, the Giants ended up abandoning the run early, resulting in fill-in starter Matt Breida being limited to just four carries, despite playing 80 percent of the snaps on offense.
Daboll didn't specify whether Barkley's activity will be enough to constitute limited participation in practice, but clarity on that front will arrive when the Giants release their first Week 4 injury report later Thursday. Barkley hasn't practiced in any fashion since suffering a right high-ankle sprain late in the Giants' Week 2 win over the Cardinals. The star running back appears to be making steady progress in his recovery, however, and if he's able to ramp up the intensity of his workouts over the next few days, he could have a chance at being available for Monday's game against the Seahawks.
The 2023 first-round pick has recorded seven tackles and three pass deflections throughout his first three games. Banks underwent an MRI earlier in the week that came back negative, telling reporters Tuesday that he'll be ready for the Giants' Monday night game against Seattle.
Barkley was unable to suit up for the Giants' Week 3 loss at San Francisco on a short week last Thursday. Prior to that contest, he revealed to Taylor Rooks of NFL on Prime that he was tending to a "high-ankle sprain," which typically results in a multi-game absence. According to Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, Daboll also called Barkley "day-to-day" Tuesday, so the running back's listing on Thursday's injury report will be one to look out for. Fortunately, the Giants don't play until Monday against the Seahawks, so there seems to be a chance Barkley may miss only one game due to his ankle injury.
Okereke saw a season-high in snaps and tackles in Week 3 in a game where the 49ers possessed the ball for more than 39 minutes. He was also second on his squad in tackles, and he's easily on pace for the third consecutive 100-tackle season of his career. He'll be in line to see a heavy dose of Kenneth Walker in Week 4 versus Seattle.
