Rotowire
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Ford-Wheaton has missed each of the Giants' last two games due to an Achilles injury; however, he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has a chance to suit up Sunday. The Giants will be without a key special-teamer (143 special-teams snaps) if Ford-Wheaton is forced to miss his third consecutive game in Week 12.

Giants' Bryce Ford-Wheaton: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Ford-Wheaton has been sidelined for each of the Giants' last two games, and Wednesday's limited session suggests that the team's Week 11 bye wasn't enough time for him to recover from his Achilles issue. The 24-year-old's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can return for the Giants' Week 12 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Giants' Bryce Ford-Wheaton: Inactive for Week 9
Rotowire
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
As expected, Ford-Wheaton will be in street clothes after drawing a doubtful tag. He played through the Achilles issue during the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, but he may have suffered a setback, as he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday of Week 9 prep. Ford-Wheaton's absence shouldn't impact the Giants' offense, as he's played only two offensive snaps in seven appearances, but he is one of the team's top special-teams players.
