Giants' Bobby Okereke: Concludes campaign on high note
Okereke tallied six tackles (three solo), an interception and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-17 Week 18 win over Dallas. For the campaign, he posted 143 stops (including 1.0 sacks) along with six defenses passes (including two interceptions) across 17 contests.
Okereke came on strong in the turnover category late in the campaign, with both of his interceptions and his lone fumble recovery taking place over the final two weeks. Beyond that, the veteran linebacker put together another big season of tackling, leading New York with 143 stops and tying for 10th overall in the league in that category. Okereke missed five games due to injury last year, but he's otherwise been very durable, playing all 17 regular-season contests four of the past five campaigns. Okereke will be in the final season of his four-year contract next year.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Slated to suit up Sunday
Okereke (shoulder) is active for Sunday's Week 11 battle against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Okereke hurt his shoulder against Chicago last Sunday and logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week. The limited session Friday will be enough for the veteran linebacker to avoid missing his first game of the campaign. Okereke has played every defensive snap for the Giants over the past seven weeks and will look to keep that streak alive Sunday against Green Bay.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Questionable for Sunday
Okereke (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Okereke upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up for the Week 11 contest. The veteran linebacker is an integral part of the Giants' defense, recording 88 total tackles (eighth-most in the NFL), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended across 10 games this season. If he's unable to play Sunday, Neville Hewitt could have an expanded role on New York's defense.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Another DNP on Thursday
Okereke (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salamone of the Giants' official site reports.
Okereke has now missed consecutive practices this week with a shoulder injury, and he will likely need to participate in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Packers. The starting linebacker played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears, logging six tackles (one solo) in the losing effort. If Okereke is unable to play Sunday, Neville Hewitt (foot) or Zaire Barnes will likely start in his stead.
