• Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Doesn't expect to play at Carolina

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that he doesn't expect Thibodeaux (wrist) to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Panthers in Munich, Germany, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. All signs are pointing to Thibodeaux missing his fifth straight contest in Week 10 as he continues to nurse a broken wrist. The Giants are scheduled for a bye in Week 11, so his next chance to suit up should come in Week 12 versus the Buccaneers.

• Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Headed to IR

  10/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Giants will place Thibodeaux (wrist) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. This move was not unexpected, as Thibodeaux's wrist injury -- a breaking of the scaphoid bone -- has a return timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. The third-year pass rusher will need to miss at least New York's next four games, so his earliest possible return date will be Nov. 10 for a contest against Carolina. Azeez Ojulari will likely take over in a pass-rushing starting role for as long as Thibodeaux remains sidelined.

• Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Won't play Sunday

  10/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Thibodeaux (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Thibodeaux underwent wrist surgery Wednesday and could even be placed on injured reserve according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, so it's no surprise that Thibodeaux won't play in Sunday's contest. The 2022 first-round pick out of Oregon has accumulated 12 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across the Giants' first five games this season. Expect Azeez Ojulari or Patrick Johnson to start opposite Brian Burns as part of the Giants' top pass-rushing duo in Thibodeaux's stead.

• Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Week-to-week after wrist surgery

  10/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Thibodeaux (wrist) underwent surgery Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Thibodeaux seems likely to miss Sunday's game against the Bengals, if not longer, as he works his way back from the wrist procedure. The standout pass rusher has played above 70 percent of defensive snaps in all five of New York's games, and piling up 12 tackles (eight solo) and two sacks. Patrick Johnson and Azeez Ojulari will be candidates to handle increased roles at outside linebacker while Thibodeaux is on the mend.

• Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Nabs sack Week 4

  09/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Thibodeaux recorded three tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's Week 4 loss to Dallas. Thibodeaux's sack came late in the second quarter and stalled the Cowboys' attempt to put up more points before halftime. The third-year edge rusher has 1.5 sacks through four weeks, so he'll need to step up the pace in order to reach the 11.5 sacks he posted last year. Thibodeaux logged a season-high 82 percent of New York's defensive snaps in Thursday's loss.
