New York Gaints Injury Report: After a Valiant Comeback Against the Arizona Cardinals, 6 in Doubt for 49ers Test

The NFL 2023 season is going full force, and it has already lived up to its hype. One of the teams that looks set to go for the title win is New York Giants. After suffering a loss for the ages against the Dallas Cowboys. The side gathered themselves up and thwarted the opposition during the Cardinals matchup.

Many sides counted the Giants out after a 40-0 pasting during their season opener. With nothing to lose and a rekindled self-belief. The 4x Super Bowl champion team made a roaring comeback in their second fixture. Now with the Giants clashing against an unbeaten 49ers. There are some worrying signs in the New York camp. It’s been a shaky start for the team, however, they made certain amends in their second game. Now with just two days out from the clash, the Giants have worrying signs going ahead.

The Giants face a tough challenge against the 49ers with player injuries

The anxiety-inducing clash between two teams is proving to be theatrical. However, the Giants have problems of their own that they’d like to address prior to the game. Just 48 hours from playing the away fixture, the Giants are rocked by injuries. Giants’ chances are hampered by an ankle injury to running back Saquon Barkley. Despite the management calling it a minor tear during the Cardinals match, Barkley would be benched for the upcoming game. Additionally, left guard Ben Bredeson would be missing out on the game in lieu of a head injury and is down with a concussion.

Moving on, the ever-smiling linebacker Micah McFadden is nursing a neck injury. He is set to miss the 49ers game as he was limited to practice during the training sessions. Injuries don’t end here, though. The other LB Azeez Ojulari is also out from a hamstring injury. Though he participated in the limited practice sessions. It needs to be seen whether he’d be playing in the final team that takes on San Francisco. As far as the team’s offense is concerned, the WR Wan’Dale Robinson joined with limited participation. He has been a regular in the injury column for the side since the start of the 2023 season. Andrew Thomas is dealing with an injury. The offensive tackle pulled up his hamstring and his full participation in the clash is subject to his fitness. Despite the injuries, the rivalry between the two sides is a close one.

Giants vs. 49ers: A close rivalry

Two dominant teams, the two sides that are coming off, win in their last games. Giants and 49ers would be looking to get an upper hand and get into the lead as their rivalry unfolds. Though, both sides are currently placed at 17-17 for their regular season wins against each other. The 49ers do eke out the New York side by the barest of margins.
