Major Giants star added to injury report, questionable vs. Broncos

The New York Giants (2-4) will continue the regular season against the Denver Broncos (4-2) on Sunday afternoon at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.

Even with an extra few days of rest, the Giants will head to the Mile-High City shorthanded. They will be without several notable starters, including center John Michael Schmitz and, potentially, wide receiver Darius Slayton.

“With all the injuries, we’ll deal with that after practice. We’ll see where everybody’s at after,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Friday. “We’ll see how it goes. Whether with the trainers, whether they’re practicing, we’ll see where everybody’s at.”

However, Daboll indicated that linebacker Victor Dimukeje is healthy and prepared to come off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. If that’s a route the team takes, they will need to make a corresponding roster move — something likely to transpire on Saturday.

“He’s done a good job. He’s gotten reps with the defense, he’s gotten reps on the look team, he’s gotten reps on special teams. He’s had a couple of good days here,” Daboll said. “Again, we’ll see where we’re at with Chauncey (Golston) and see what he can do or not do, but he’s done a nice job. Looks ready to go.”
