Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Doesn't practice Saturday
Rotowire
Flott did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to an undisclosed injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
The type and severity of Flott's injury isn't clear, but it has kept him out of practice for the past two days. Reps with the first-team defense are important for Flott, who is competing against Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo for the starting outside corner job. Flott will look to get back on the practice field and be available for the Giants' preseason opener against the Bills on Saturday, Aug. 9.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Competing for starting role
Rotowire
Flott and Deonte Banks are in a training camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Flott (10 starts) and Banks (14 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the Giants brought in Paulson Adebo during the offseason to be their top corner. Flott (53 stops, seven defensed passes) and Banks (52 tackles, 12 pass defenses) put up similar numbers in 2024, though they had just one interception between them as New York's secondary as a whole struggled to collect turnovers. Per Duggan, Flott and Banks have been alternating turns in the rotation during camp, so it appears this will be a genuine position battle throughout the preseason.

Rotowire
Flott (quadriceps/knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Saints, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Flott wasn't listed on the injury report for any of the Giants' three practices this past week, but he is now dealing with knee and quadriceps injury that put his status for Sunday's game into question. His official status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Giants announce their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With Deonte Banks (rib) already out and Flott potentially sidelined as well, the Giants would turn to Art Green and Adoree' Jackson to serve as the starting outside cornerbacks.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Opens week limited
Rotowire
Flott (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Rotowire
Flott (groin) was limited in practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Steelers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Flott has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions, but it looks like he nonetheless is trending in the wrong direction for Monday Night Football. Tre Hawkins will stand to inherit an expanded role on defense if Flott is indeed ruled out for Week 8.

Flott was unable to practice Thursday after sustaining a groin injury in the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles. However, the third-year pro upgraded to limited participation Friday, suggesting he could suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Steelers.

Rotowire
Flott is still considered week-to-week with a quad injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Gets larger role in second season
Rotowire
Flott tallied 36 tackles (25 solo) and five defensed passes, including one interception, over 14 games in 2023.
Flott missed the first three games of the campaign due primarily to a hamstring injury, but he took over as the Giants' slot corner in Week 4 and logged at least half of the team's defensive snaps in all but three weeks thereafter. The 2022 third-round draft pick performed competently in the role and recorded his first career pickoff in Week 10 against Dallas. Flott has two years remaining on his rookie deal and figures to enter next season slated for a workload similar to that which he was given in 2023.
