The New York 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
The New York Giants will place Kayvon 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
Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the New York 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
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Kayvon 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
Kayvon 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.

Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Cleared to play Sunday
Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns and is expected to play.Thibodeaux got in a round of limited practices this week but is ready to go versus Cleveland. His presence could be needed even more with Brian Burns (groin) added to the injury report Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday. Thibodeaux has four tackles (three solo) and three QB hits through two games but is still looking for his first sack of the year.

Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Pops up on injury report
Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) was listed as limited on the New York Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.Thibodeaux played a higher percentage of the team's defensive snaps in Week 2 than he did in Week 1, so it's not exactly clear how and when he suffered the injury. However, as New York begins to prep for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, the Oregon product will be considered questionable for the game. His practice status for Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring and will likely provide better clarity on his chances of suiting up.

Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Working in new defensive scheme
Kayvon Thibodeaux and fellow edge rusher Brian Burns will be heavily depended upon to pressure the quarterback this season under new defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.Under since-ousted defensive coordinator Wink Martindale last year, the New York Giants blitzed 46.2 percent of the time, the second-highest rate in the league. Meanwhile, Bowen's Tennessee Titan defense blitzed on just 20.4 percent of defensive plays -- 24th in the NFL. Bowen's approach is likely to carry over to his work with New York, which means that Thibodeaux's and Burns' importance as pass rushers will be magnified. That could lead to Thibodeaux ascending to new heights after breaking out with 11.5 sacks in his second NFL campaign last year.

Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Posts 11.5 sacks in second season
Kayvon Thibodeaux finished the 2023 campaign with 50 tackles (26 solo), including 11.5 sacks, and added four pass defenses along with three forced fumbles over 17 games.The New York Giants selected Thibodeaux fifth overall in the 2022 Draft with the hope that he'd develop into an elite pass rusher. Though he showed promising flashes in his rookie campaign, the Oregon product tallied just 4.0 sacks, but he boosted that number to a much more fantasy-friendly 11.5 sacks -- tied for 12th most in the league -- in Year 2. Thibodeaux still has plenty of room to grow, as the sacks dried up over the final four games of the season, and his overall missed-tackle rate increased in comparison to the previous campaign. Still, with two years remaining on his rookie contract, there's little doubt that Thibodeaux is a key piece of the Giants' future plans.
