Okereke has at least six stops in 11 of 12 contests this season and has reached the double-digit mark four times.

Okereke recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-20 loss versus the Packers.

He ranks sixth in the league in total tackles (95) going into a Week 12 matchup at Detroit.

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.

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.
