Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Won't play Sunday
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Nunez-Roches will miss his second consecutive game, the first two absences he's logged through the 2024 regular season. With the veteran defensive end unavailable, New York will have to rely on Casey Rogers and Elijah Garcia to handle increased defensive roles versus Baltimore.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Misses Wednesday's practice
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Nunez-Roches' absence from Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise, as the veteran defensive lineman missed the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints due to neck and shoulder injuries. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 15, when the Giants host the Ravens.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Ruled out for Week 14
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Nunez-Roches suffered neck and shoulder injuries during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys. The injuries prevented him from practicing all week, and the 2015 sixth-round pick will shift his focus toward returning for Week 15 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 15. The Giants' defensive front has been decimated by injuries, so with Nunez-Roches sidelined, Dexter Lawrence (elbow) on injured reserve and D.J. Davidson (shoulder) unlikely to play Sunday, Cory Durden -- who the Giants signed off the Rams' practice squad Sunday -- is in line to make his 2024 regular-season debut next to starters Elijah Chatman and Jordon Riley.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Posts 26 stops over 16 games
Nunez-Roches recorded 26 tackles (14 solo), including a half-sack, over 16 contests during the 2023 campaign.
Nunez-Roches was brought in during the offseason to serve as veteran depth along New York's defensive line. He filled that role as expected, notching the second-highest tackle total of his nine-year career while missing just one game. Durability has been a strength of Nunez-Roches' -- he's missed just two regular-season contests over the past five campaigns -- but he's not much of a pass-rusher and isn't looked to as a difference-maker on defense. His contract goes through 2025, and it's likely he'll be back with the Giants as a rotational run-stopper next year.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Set to return Week 17
Nunez-Roches (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches had been battling a knee injury that held him out of the Giants' Christmas Day affair, but it now seems that he's had enough time to move past the issue. The 30-year-old has totaled 21 tackles, including one tackle for loss, across 14 appearances this season, and he'll likely serve as a rotational defensive lineman in Week 17.
