Dimukeje (pectoral) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.
Dimukeje has been sidelined since May while recovering from a torn pectoral muscle, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of the 2025 campaign. Considering that he's expected to operate as a depth piece on New York's defense, his absence will likely carry its greatest impact on special teams.

Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Placed on PUP list
Rotowire
The Giants moved Dimukeje (pectoral) to the active/PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Dimukeje was originally placed on the NFI list due to a pec tear that he suffered during offseason workouts in early May. He'll be eligible to practice and play in the preseason once fully healthy, though a timeline has not been established for his return. Dimukeje signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Cardinals. He finished the 2024 regular season with 15 tackles (nine solo) and one forced fumble in 11 games while splitting his snaps between defense and special teams.

Cardinals' Victor Dimukeje: Iffy for Week 18 with eye issue
Rotowire
Dimukeje was added to the Cardinals' injury report Saturday and deemed questionable for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco due to an eye injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Dimukeje wasn't on the practice report at all this week, so the eye issue appears to have occurred very recently. The fourth-year pro has played a rotational role on Arizona's defensive line throughout the campaign while also contributing on special teams. Dimukeje logged just one defensive snap last Sunday against the Rams, though he had been on the field for at least 30 percent of the Cardinals' defensive snaps in each of the five prior contests for which he suited up.
