McFadden started running on the field last week as he makes his way back from Lisfranc surgery for the foot injury he suffered in Week 1, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. McFadden could potentially return to practice this week, marking the first practice for the linebacker since he suffered his injury in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. It's unclear how far the linebacker has to progress to make his return before the season's end, but things appear to be trending up for the 2022 fifth-round pick.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Friday that McFadden (foot) is not ready to return from the injured reserve list, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. The 25-year-old was placed on IR and underwent foot surgery after sustaining an injury in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. While he remains sidelined, Darius Muasau (ankle) and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles are expected to have expanded roles on New York's defense.

The Giants placed McFadden (foot) on injured reserve Thursday. McFadden suffered a foot injury during the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders, which is severe enough to require surgery. McFadden's placement on IR means he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games and is eligible to return Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday, Oct. 9. Darius Muasau played 38 defensive snaps in Week 1 and will likely start at inside linebacker alongside Bobby Okereke while McFadden is recovering from his procedure.

McFadden is expected to miss "significant time" due to a foot injury that will require surgery, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. McFadden was carted off the field during the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. It was initially reported as a leg injury, and while X-rays on his leg came back negative, further tests revealed a significant foot injury that will require the 2022 fifth-rounder to undergo surgery. It's a significant loss to the Giants' defense, as McFadden led the team with 107 combined tackles across 14 regular-season games in 2024. Darius Muasau ended up playing 38 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss and figures to start alongside Bobby Okereke at inside linebacker for as long as McFadden is sidelined.
