Giants' Greg Newsome: Not listed on injury report
Newsome (concussion) wasn't listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday.
Newsome is healthy again after having missed the Week 7 win over the Texans due to a concussion. The 26-year-old signed a three-year extension with the team Tuesday and will resume his role as one of its starting cornerbacks during Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Extended by New York
The Giants signed Newsome (concussion) to a three-year $46 million extension with $32 million guaranteed, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Newsome signed with the Giants this past offseason on a one-year deal, but after just seven games, the 26-year-old played well enough to earn an extension. He has 25 tackles (17 solo), along with six pass deflections and one interception, through six games of the 2026 season.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Won't play against Houston
Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Newsome entered the league's concussion protocol during the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Saints, and he was held out of practice all week. The Giants are thin in the secondary, so one of Colton Hood or Nic Jones figure to start opposite Deonte Banks at outside cornerback. New York is on a bye for Week 8, so Newsome's next chance to play is Week 9 against Philadelphia on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Unable to practice Wednesday
Newsome (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Newsome was knocked out of Sunday's game versus the Saints early by a concussion, and now his availability for Week 7 is in jeopardy. He'll have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before getting the green light to return to full-contact football activities, and whether he's able to return to practice Thursday or Friday may shed some light on any potential progress.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Snags first pick of the season
Newsome registered seven tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Giants' win Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Newsome had his most productive outing of the campaign, logging a season-high seven tackles in addition to recording his first interception. The 26-year-old will look to build on this strong performance and keep producing during next week's matchup against the Commanders.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Set for Monday night
Newsome (ribs) does not have any injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Newsome upgraded to full participation in Saturday's practice after being limited Thursday and Friday. The cornerback has overcome his rib injury just in time to suit up for Monday night's game. With Deonte Banks (calf) still questionable to play, Newsome's presence will be huge for a Giants defense that will have to deal with Davante Adams and maybe Puka Nacua (hip).

Giants' Greg Newsome: Tending to issue with ribs
Newsome (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The exact nature of his injury is still unknown, but Newsome's status for Week 2 is now up in the air. If he can't return to practice in full Friday or Saturday, he might end up carrying an injury designation on the final injury report before Monday night's game against the Rams.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Not listed on injury report
Newsome (knee) was not listed on the injury report following Wednesday's practice.
Newsome was working through a knee issue during training camp, but his full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he'll play against the Cowboys on Sunday. Newsome joined the Giants in March on a one-year, $10 million contract, and he projects to start opposite Deonte Banks at outside corner, while Paulson Adebo and rookie second-rounder Colton Hood provide depth at the position. Newsome appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2025, finishing with 29 tackles (23 solo) and six pass defenses (including one interception).

Giants' Greg Newsome: Dealing with knee issue
Newsome (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
It is unclear when exactly Newsome picked up the knee issue. The cornerback is set to start opposite Paulson Adebo (hamstring), who is also not playing in Saturday's game, during the regular season. The Giants will likely roll with Deonte Banks and Colton Hood for the majority of snaps at cornerback throughout the preseason.
