Muasau tallied six tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 35-14 Week 15 loss to Baltimore.
Muasau got another start in place of Bobby Okereke (back) and played all 59 of New York's defensive snaps. The rookie linebacker has proven to be an effective tackler when given the chance, as he has at least six tackles in all three games in which he's logged at least half of the Giants' defensive snaps this season. Muasau figures to continue to start for however long Okereke remains out of action.

Rotowire
Muasau (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Giants' Darius Muasau: Working his way back
Rotowire
Muasau (knee) was listed as limited on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Muasau missed the team's Week 2 loss to the Commanders after being unable to get on the practice field all week. His return, albeit limited, Wednesday is a step in the right direction for the rookie out of UCLA. Barring any setbacks, he's likely on the right trajectory to suit up this Sunday against the Browns.

Giants' Darius Muasau: Nabs interception in NFL debut
Rotowire
Muasau posted six tackles (four solo) and intercepted a pass in a Week 1 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Muasau had a successful NFL regular-season debut after being selected in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft. The linebacker recorded two particularly notable plays -- an interception of Sam Darnold late in the third quarter and a tackle of running back Myles Gaskin for a three-yard loss late in the fourth, though Minnesota was essentially running out the clock on the latter play. Muasau played 82 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest, earning that workload with his strong play. Per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, Micah McFadden was slated to be on a snap "pitch count" if Muasua struggled, but McFadden didn't end up seeing the field due to the rookie's performance.
