Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Cleared to return Week 5
Nunez-Roches (foot) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints.
Nunez-Roches was a limited participant in practice all week, and he has been given the green light to play after missing the Giants' last three games due to a foot injury. He may not see a heavy snap count in his return, but his presence might mean less playing time on defense for Elijah Garcia, Darius Alexander and D.J. Davidson, though Dexter Lawrence is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest due to an illness that prevented him from practicing all week.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Won't play Week 4
Nunez-Roches (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches drew the doubtful injury tag after logging a DNP-DNP-LP practice log this past week, so it's no surprise that the 2015 sixth-rounder will be sidelined for Sunday's contest. It'll be the third consecutive game he'll miss due to a foot injury that he suffered in Week 1 against the Commanders, and he'll shift his focus on making his return for Week 5 against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 5. Elijah Garcia, Darius Alexander and D.J. Davidson will all continue to see increased work on the defensive line in Nunez-Roches' absence.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Won't play against Kansas City
Nunez-Roches (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before ending with a DNP on Friday. It's the second game in a row that he'll miss due to a foot injury, and he'll work on progressing enough in his recovery to return for Week 4 against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 28. Darius Alexander, Elijah Garcia and D.J. Davidson will continue to see an uptick of defensive snaps due to Nunez-Roches' injury.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Ruled out Week 2
Nunez-Roches (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a foot injury before being downgraded to a DNP on Friday. The injury will prevent him from playing in Sunday's NFC East clash, and his next chance to see the field is Week 3 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 21. Elijah Garcia and rookie third-rounder Darius Alexander are in line to see a significant increase in defensive snaps due to Nunez-Roches' injury.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Likely out for Week 2
Nunez-Roches (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest, as he downgraded from full participation in Wednesday's practice to a DNP on Friday. The veteran defensive lineman played 29 defensive snaps for the Giants in their Week 1 loss to the Commanders, recording one tackle. With Nunez-Roches likely out Week 2, Darius Alexander is expected to serve as one of New York's top interior defensive linemen.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Posts career-best tackle total
Nunez-Roches ended the 2024 regular season with 52 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with two defensed passes over 15 games (all starts).
Nunez-Roches missed two games late in the campaign due to a neck/shoulder issue, but he still blew away his previous career-best mark of 33 stops. The veteran defensive lineman's 2.0 sacks also matched a career high, and his 585 defensive snaps were the most he's logged in his 10-season professional career. He's been far from spectacular since joining the Giants ahead of the 2023 campaign, but Nunez-Roches is signed through 2025, so he should be back with New York next year and will likely fill a similar role.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Cleared to face Atlanta
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The veteran defensive lineman got in a round of limited practices this week and will be back in the lineup after missing the previous two contests. He started the previous 12 games and has logged 45 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five QB hits and two defensed passes this season.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Practices in limited fashion
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Wednesday's limited practice session suggests Nunez-Roches could be in line to return for the Giants' Week 16 matchup against the Falcons after he missed the team's previous two games due to neck and shoulder injuries. However, his participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play Sunday. If Nunez-Roches misses his third game in a row, expect Casey Rogers to serve as one of the Giants' top defensive ends.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Won't play Sunday
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Nunez-Roches will miss his second consecutive game, the first two absences he's logged through the 2024 regular season. With the veteran defensive end unavailable, New York will have to rely on Casey Rogers and Elijah Garcia to handle increased defensive roles versus Baltimore.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Misses Wednesday's practice
Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Nunez-Roches' absence from Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise, as the veteran defensive lineman missed the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints due to neck and shoulder injuries. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 15, when the Giants host the Ravens.
