Muasau (knee) is active Week 3 against the Browns, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. After accumulating six tackles and an interception in Week 1, Muasau was forced to sit out Week 2 due to a knee injury. Despite tallying three consecutive limited practices leading up to Sunday, the rookie will be available to provide linebacker depth for the Giants.

Muasau (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland. Muasau was limited all week at practice, so his availability for Week 3 seems close to a coin-flip proposition. If he can't play Sunday, it would probably mean more snaps for Micah McFadden.

Muasau (knee) was listed as limited on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Muasau missed the team's Week 2 loss to the Commanders after being unable to get on the practice field all week. His return, albeit limited, Wednesday is a step in the right direction for the rookie out of UCLA. Barring any setbacks, he's likely on the right trajectory to suit up this Sunday against the Browns.

Muasau posted six tackles (four solo) and intercepted a pass in a Week 1 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. Muasau had a successful NFL regular-season debut after being selected in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft. The linebacker recorded two particularly notable plays -- an interception of Sam Darnold late in the third quarter and a tackle of running back Myles Gaskin for a three-yard loss late in the fourth, though Minnesota was essentially running out the clock on the latter play. Muasau played 82 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest, earning that workload with his strong play. Per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, Micah McFadden was slated to be on a snap "pitch count" if Muasua struggled, but McFadden didn't end up seeing the field due to the rookie's performance.
