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.

Giants' Greg Newsome: Joining Big Blue
Newsome is slated to sign a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Following a 13-game stint (including playoffs) with the Jaguars, Newsome has found a new home in New York after spending his first four full NFL seasons with the Browns. Despite recording 32 total tackles and six passes defensed, including one interception, during his time in Jacksonville, the 2021 first-round pick struggled in coverage, allowing a 107.5 passer rating when targeted. However, he's shown flashes throughout his career, most notably during the 2023 season when he posted 49 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and 14 passes defensed, including two interceptions, while allowing a 74.8 passer rating when targeted. Now in New York, Newsome is expected to operate as one of the Giants' top boundary corners during the 2026 season.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Finishes 2025 season with Jags
Newsome appeared in 17 regular-season games between the Browns (five games) and Jaguars (12 games) in 2025 and accumulated 52 tackles (41 solo) and nine pass defenses (one interception).
Newsome started the season with Cleveland before being traded to the Jaguars in early October. He played a key role in both teams' defenses, and despite dealing with shoulder, hamstring and ankle injuries throughout the season, he ended the 2025 campaign with a career high in total tackles. Newsome enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should attract offers from teams looking to upgrade their secondary.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Cleared despite limited practices
Newsome (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's wild-card round game against the Bills.
Newsome was limited by a shoulder injury in practice throughout the week but will be available when the Jaguars host the Bills in Sunday's postseason matchup. The starting cornerback could be a key contributor since the normally run-heavy Bills offense may opt for a more pass-heavy approach to put the ball in star quarterback Josh Allen's hands against a Jaguars defense that was the best in the league at defending the run in the regular season.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Limited in practice Wednesday
Newsome (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Newsome was able to return to last Sunday's game against the Titans after sustaining the shoulder injury, meaning the cornerback will likely play through it for Sunday's playoff game against the Bills. The 25-year-old will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation in the hopes of dodging an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Leaves game with shoulder injury
Newsome (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Newsome is being evaluated by medical staff for a shoulder injury to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Keith Taylor (coach's decision) inactive, Christian Braswell would be in line for more snaps at outside corner for as long as Newsome is out of the game.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Limited Wednesday
Newsome (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Newsome has been nursing the shoulder issue for the past 10 days but ended up being cleared to play last Sunday against the Colts and logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the first time since being acquired from the Browns ahead of Week 6.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Cleared to play Week 17
Newsome (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Newsome logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week but is good to go for Sunday. He wasn't able to finish last Sunday's win over Denver after hurting his shoulder in the fourth quarter, but the issue won't cost him additional time. Newsome has started nine of the 10 games in which he's played so far this season.

Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Newsome (shoulder/personal) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Newsome sustained a shoulder injury during the fourth quarter of Jacksonville's Week 16 win over Denver and was unable to return, finishing with three solo tackles. He was unable to practice Wednesday due to the injury while also attending to a personal matter, and he'll have two more chances to practice in full and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road tilt against the Colts.
