Van Ness (foot) was spotted in a walking boot Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Van Ness has been hampered by a foot injury for much of the season and attempted a return in Week 12 against the Vikings. However, he managed only six defensive snaps in that game and was inactive for Week 13. In comments to the media, Van Ness said that he's focused on rehab, so it sounds as if he could be in for at least one more absence in Week 14 against the Bears.

Dimukeje (knee) is inactive for Monday's game against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Dimukeje popped up on the injury report Saturday with a knee injury but still managed a limited practice. Nevertheless, he will be inactive for the second time in seven weeks since being activated from injured reserve.

Bradbury (illness) is active for Monday night's game against the Giants.

Bradbury was uncertain to play after he was a late addition to the injury report Monday due to an illness, but he now appears to be good to go. He'll operate in his typical starting role at center versus New York.

Tonga (chest) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the Giants.

Tonga went the wrong direction at practice during the week, going from a limited participant Wednesday to a non-participant by the end of the week while nursing a chest injury he suffered in Week 12. The defensive lineman will now be forced to miss his first game of the year. In his absence, Eric Gregory is a top candidate to handle the lion's share of workload at nose tackle versus New York.

The Lions placed Arnold on injured reserve Monday, and the cornerback is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder later this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Arnold was previously sidelined for Weeks 11 and 12 due to a concussion, but he made his return to action in the Lions' 34-27 loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving Day. He recorded four solo tackles in the contest, but at some point along the way, he suffered an aggravation of the same shoulder injury that kept him out for Weeks 6 and 7. The Lions will send the 22-year-old in for surgery with the hope that it provides a more permanent fix for the recurring shoulder problem. He'll close out the 2025 campaign with 31 tackles, eight pass breakups and one interception over eight games.

Flannigan-Fowles (neck) is inactive for Monday night's contest against New England, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flannigan-Fowles was unable to participate at either of the team's first two sessions of the week before returning as a limited participant at Saturday's final practice prior to Monday Night Football. The linebacker is dealing with neck and knee injuries, and he will now be forced to miss at least one contest as a result. In his absence, Neville Hewitt and Zaire Barnes are top candidates to see an increase in workload at linebacker versus the Patriots.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Giants' emergency third quarterback in Monday night's matchup with the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Wilson will be inactive for the first time this season as Jaxson Dart returns from a two-game absence following a concussion, reclaiming the starting role while Jameis Winston serves as his top backup. Wilson will only be able to enter the contest if both Dart and Winston are removed from the game.

Hyatt (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday at New England, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

For a second time this season -- and first time since Week 8 -- Hyatt is a healthy scratch, and this will mark his seventh time overall that he won't log an offensive snap through 13 games. The Giants' available wide receivers for Monday's matchup are Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski and Dalen Cambre. Hyatt's next chance to suit up follows the team's Week 14 bye on Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Commanders.

Landry (knee) is active for Monday night's game against the Giants.

Landry missed significant practice time leading up to Monday night's game, but the 29-year-old veteran isn't someone who needs to practice much in order to play. Landry has started all 12 games this season, posting 41 tackles (22 solo), including 6.5 sacks, and one forced fumble on 78 percent of the defensive snaps.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Giants.

DeVito will serve as the Patriots' emergency QB3 behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. DeVito hasn't appeared in a game this season.
