Nunez-Roches recorded 26 tackles (14 solo), including a half-sack, over 16 contests during the 2023 campaign. Nunez-Roches was brought in during the offseason to serve as veteran depth along New York's defensive line. He filled that role as expected, notching the second-highest tackle total of his nine-year career while missing just one game. Durability has been a strength of Nunez-Roches' -- he's missed just two regular-season contests over the past five campaigns -- but he's not much of a pass-rusher and isn't looked to as a difference-maker on defense. His contract goes through 2025, and it's likely he'll be back with the Giants as a rotational run-stopper next year.

Nunez-Roches (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nunez-Roches had been battling a knee injury that held him out of the Giants' Christmas Day affair, but it now seems that he's had enough time to move past the issue. The 30-year-old has totaled 21 tackles, including one tackle for loss, across 14 appearances this season, and he'll likely serve as a rotational defensive lineman in Week 17.

Nunez-Roches (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The 30-year-old began New York's week of practice with consecutive DNPs, making it no surprise that he's since been ruled out for Monday's affair. With Nunez-Roches in line to miss his first game of the season, expect D.J. Davidson to see increased work on the Giants' defensive line.

Nunez-Roches (groin) sat out Tuesday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Nunez-Roches, who dealt with a concussion earlier in training camp, is sidelined once again by a different injury. The veteran defensive lineman had stints with Kansas City and Tampa Bay before signing a three-year deal with New York this offseason. Once the 30-year-old returns to action, expect him to work as a rotational player for the Giants' defense ahead of the coming season.

Nunez-Roches (concussion) worked with the the first-team defense in practice Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Nunez-Roches was involved in a car accident near the Giants' practice facility last Tuesday and was subsequently placed in concussion protocol. He returned to practice in a non-contact capacity Sunday and was then cleared to practice in full Monday. Nunez-Roches is expected to play a rotational role for New York this season after joining the organization on a three-year contract in March.
