Giants' Tyler Nubin: Inactive, as expected, Week 11
Rotowire
Nubin (neck) isn't playing against Green Bay on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nubin didn't practice at all this week and was deemed doubtful on Friday's final injury report, so it's not a surprise he's being held out of action Sunday. Dane Belton is likely to move into a starting role at safety alongside Jevon Holland.

Rotowire
Nubin (neck) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
The second-year pro from Minnesota likely sustained a neck injury in the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Bears. He didn't practice all week and is now expected to miss Sunday's contest. Nubin has appeared in all 10 of the Giants' games this season, recording 58 total tackles and one pass defended. If he's sidelined in Week 11 as expected, Dane Belton will likely have an expanded role in New York's secondary.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Dealing with neck injury
Rotowire
Nubin (neck) was estimated to have not participated in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nubin played 93 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. Several Giants veterans did not practice Wednesday, so it's possible Nubin was simply getting extra rest. However, his practice participation for the rest of the week should provide more clarity.

Rotowire
Nubin underwent surgery Monday to repair the ankle injury he suffered in the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Nubin was placed on injured reserve this past Wednesday due to the ankle injury. The rookie second-round pick had played all but two defensive snaps in the 12 regular-season games prior to the Giants' Week 14 loss, and he'll end his 2024 campaign with 98 tackles (57 solo), one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 13 games. Dane Belton will serve as the Giants' starting strong safety for the last three games of the 2024 regular season.

Rotowire
Nubin (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The rookie safety played through a back issue in the Giants' Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers, recording 12 total tackles and one pass defended across 62 defensive snaps.

Nubin's tackle total led New York on a rough day for the team as a whole, and it marked his second straight game with exactly 12 stops.

Rotowire
Nubin tallied seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.
Nubin got the start at strong safety for New York and played all 55 of the team's defensive snaps. Meanwhile, Dane Belton -- who had at one point appeared to have won the starting role at the position -- played just nine defensive snaps, though it's not clear if the back injury that bothered him throughout the practice week contributed to his limited usage. Regardless, Nubin performed well in his first NFL game and appears set to be a key part of the team's defensive backfield moving forward.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Fills safety need for Big Blue
Rotowire
The Giants selected Nubin in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 47th overall.
Safety is one of the weaker positions in this class, and Nubin is the first to come off the board in the middle of the second round. It's a strong value for the Giants, as they get the best safety in the class after losing Xavier McKinney in free agency this offseason. Nubin got by on impressive instincts at Minnesota with 13 career interceptions. He didn't test at the NFL Combine due to a knee issue and only ran a 4.59 in the 40 at the Gopher pro day, so teams could test his speed down the field. His 207 career tackles show a willingness to get his nose dirty and play the run, which is a strong complement to his coverage chops.
