Giants' Bobby Okereke: Slated to suit up Sunday
Okereke (shoulder) is active for Sunday's Week 11 battle against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Okereke hurt his shoulder against Chicago last Sunday and logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week. The limited session Friday will be enough for the veteran linebacker to avoid missing his first game of the campaign. Okereke has played every defensive snap for the Giants over the past seven weeks and will look to keep that streak alive Sunday against Green Bay.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Questionable for Sunday
Okereke (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Okereke upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up for the Week 11 contest. The veteran linebacker is an integral part of the Giants' defense, recording 88 total tackles (eighth-most in the NFL), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended across 10 games this season. If he's unable to play Sunday, Neville Hewitt could have an expanded role on New York's defense.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Another DNP on Thursday
Okereke (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salamone of the Giants' official site reports.
Okereke has now missed consecutive practices this week with a shoulder injury, and he will likely need to participate in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Packers. The starting linebacker played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears, logging six tackles (one solo) in the losing effort. If Okereke is unable to play Sunday, Neville Hewitt (foot) or Zaire Barnes will likely start in his stead.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Steady again Sunday
Okereke notched eight tackles (four solo) Sunday in a Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.
Though New York fell to 0-3 with the loss, the team's defense fared pretty well against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City. Okereke led the way with a team-high eight tackles, yet it was the first time this season the veteran linebacker has failed to reach double-digit stops. That speaks to how prolific he can be in terms of racking up tackles -- he has 34 through three games, ranking first in the NFL with one Week 3 game left to play Monday night.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Racks up 16 stops in opener
Okereke recorded 16 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Washington.
Okereke's 16 tackles were more than any other player in Week 1 (pending Monday night's game). The hefty total also marked the second-highest tally of his career (he had 17 stops in a contest November 19, 2023). Okereke was limited to 12 games last season and snapped a three-year streak of reaching triple-digit tackles, but he's off to a fast start in his quest to reach that mark again in 2025.
