Rotowire

Ebner didn't practice Wednesday and then was a limited participant Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise to see him inactive for Week 3. The 32-year-old safety has only contributed on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't have an effect on the Giants' defensive rotations.

Rotowire
Ebner (knee) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
The decision to place the veteran on the PUP list likely goes back to the knee injury that landed Ebner on injured reserve last November. The special teams ace secured a two-year extension earlier this offseason.

Rotowire
Ebner's right knee buckled on a fake punt attempt, and he won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Rotowire
Ebner (concussion) is expected to play in Sunday's Super Bowl against the Falcons, Ryan Hannable of WEEI reports.

The former rugby star racked up 19 tackles and forced a fumble during the regular season and will help edify New England's special teams units Sunday.
