  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Placed on IR due to shoulder injury

    The Giants placed Davidson (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Davidson injured his shoulder during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys. While he was able to practice in a limited capacity all week, he was deemed doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints. Davidson's shoulder injury appears serious enough to warrant a stint on IR, and he'll have to be sidelined for at least the next four regular-season games. That makes Week 18 against the Eagles on Sunday, Jan. 5 the earliest he could return, but it's possible that Davidson's 2024 campaign will end while on IR, as the Giants have already been eliminated from postseason contention.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Unlikely to play Sunday vs. NOLA

    Davidson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice but is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

    Davidson injured his shoulder during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys. He was a limited participant in practice all week, but it appears he is trending towards being sidelined for Sunday's contest. With Davidson unlikely to play and Rakeem Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) already ruled out, Cory Durden -- who was signed off the Rams' practice squad Monday -- is slated to start on the Giants' defensive line alongside Elijah Chatman and Jordon Riley.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Exits game with shoulder injury

    Davidson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Davidson injured his shoulder in the second quarter of Thursday's game. While Davidson is sidelined, Jordon Riley will serve as the Giants' rotational lineman behind Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Dexter Lawrence and Elijah Chatman.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Good to go Thursday

    Davidson (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game at Dallas.

    Davidson was limited at practice during the week due to a shoulder issue, but it won't hold him out of game action in Week 13. He should resume his regular rotational role on the defensive line Thursday.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Nursing shoulder injury

    Davidson (shoulder) was estimated as a limited practice participant for Monday's walk-through practice.

    Davidson left Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to an ankle injury, but he was listed with a shoulder injury on Monday's practice estimate. With the Giants playing Thursday against the Cowboys, Davidson will have Tuesday and Wednesday to increase his practice participation.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Leaves game due to ankle injury

    Davidson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Davidson was helped off the field by trainers after suffering an ankle injury. Armon Watts would be the lone rotational defensive end behind Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Elijah Chatman if Davidson is unable to return Sunday.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Records first full sacks of career

    Davidson tallied 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 29-20 win over Seattle in Week 5.

    Davidson logged just a half-sack over his first 20 regular-season NFL games after entering the league in 2022, so his performance Sunday was a bit unexpected. Both of the defensive end's sacks came in a tight second half -- he brought down Geno Smith on a first-down play in the third quarter to help limit the Seahawks to a field goal, then took Smith down again with under a minute left in the fourth as Seattle attempted to mount a final rally. Davidson logged 33 percent of New York's defensive snaps Sunday, which is in line with the workload he has handled overall through the first five weeks of the campaign.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Full practice Wednesday

    Davidson (knee) was a full participant at the Giants' practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Davidson missed the team's 14-9 loss to the Bills in Week 6 while dealing with a knee injury, but his full practice Wednesday all but clears him to play in Week 7. The 26-year-old will return to his role as a primary reserve option on New York's defensive line against Washington on Sunday.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Will miss Week 6

    Davidson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Bills.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Ready for Monday

    Davidson (elbow) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Seahawks.

    The 26-year-old suffered an elbow injury during the Giants' Week 3 loss to San Francisco, but it seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Davidson has recorded two total tackles, one pass deflection and 0.5 sacks through two games this year, playing on 24 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Exits with injury Thursday

    Davidson (elbow) is questionable to return to Thursday Night Football versus San Francisco, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Davidson logged one tackle Thursday before he went down with an elbow injury during the third quarter. The 26-year-old also totaled just one tackle while making his season debut Week 2 against Arizona. Davidson's absence will leave the Giants with just four available defensive linemen between A'Shawn Robinson, Dexter Lawrence, Leonard Williams and Rakeem Nunez-Roches.

    Davidson (knee) was not listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Davidson seems to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after missing the season opener with a knee injury. The 2022 fifth-round pick will likely serve as a rotational player on the line alongside Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Jordon Riley.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Unavailable Sunday
