Giants' Dane Belton: Ready for Week 1
Belton (back) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
The third-year safety out of Iowa was limited earlier in the week with a back injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Belton is expected to line up as New York's top strong safety in 2024 after posting 33 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, and two interceptions across 17 regular-season games last season.

Giants' Dane Belton: Working through injury
Belton (back) is limited in practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Belton had been competing with rookie Tyler Nubin for the team's starting strong safety job and was believed to have won the competition. However, his current injury could see him have to hand that role to Nubin for Week 1 against the Vikings if he is unable to suit up for the contest.

Giants' Dane Belton: Competing for starting role
Belton is competing with rookie Tyler Nubin for the Giants' starting strong safety position, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Belton didn't see much of the field during his first two seasons in the NFL, playing behind All-Pro caliber safety Xavier McKinney. Now that McKinney is out of New York, Belton has the opportunity to win a starting role in the Giants' secondary. According to Dunleavy, the third-year safety has been playing with the Giants' first-team defense since OTAs and has impressed with his ball-hawking abilities. Nubin, Belton's main competition for a starting spot, is now dealing with a hamstring issue as well. If Nubin continues to miss time with this injury, Belton could run away with the Giants' top strong safety spot.

Giants' Dane Belton: Nabs two pickoffs in second season
Belton played in all 17 games in the 2023 campaign, totaling 33 tackles (22 solo), including a sack, along with two interceptions.
Belton's role fluctuated throughout the season, and he saw most of his work on special teams until Jason Pinnock's toe injury early in Week 17 allowed room for Belton to get an extended opportunity at the end of the campaign. The 2022 fourth-round pick shined with a pair of interceptions after Pinnock left that Week 17 game against the Rams, but the overall sample size over the course of the season was likely too small for New York to develop a definitive perspective of Belton's ability to move up to a larger full-time role. There may be a hole for the Giants to fill at safety if Xavier McKinney leaves in free agency, though in that scenario they may look outside the organization for a replacement.

Giants' Dane Belton: Nabs two INTs in Week 17 loss
Belton tallied two tackles (one solo) along with two interceptions and a fumble recovery in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Belton got an extended opportunity to play as a result of Jason Pinnock exiting in the first quarter with a foot injury. Belton took advantage of the increased defensive snaps, notching his first two pickoffs of the campaign and adding a fumble recovery. If Pinnock remains out for next weekend's regular-season finale, Belton would likely be in line to start against Philadelphia.

Giants' Dane Belton: Picks off pass in preseason opener
Belton returned an interception 42 yards and added two tackles in Friday's exhibition loss to the Lions.
Belton picked off Nate Sudfeld in the first quarter and ran 42 yards to the Detroit 14-yard line to set up the Giants' lone touchdown. After an up-and-down rookie campaign last year, Belton is competing with Jason Pinnock for the starting safety spot vacated by Julian Love. Pinnock also picked off a pass Friday.

Giants' Dane Belton: Will play Sunday
Belton (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Commanders.
Belton is expected to draw the start at free safety for the Giants on Sunday. The rookie's role has varied throughout the season, but his opportunities should increase as long as he remains healthy, with Xavier McKinney (hand) sidelined.
