Thibodeaux, who has a shoulder injury has been ruled out against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Giants backup cornerback Nic Jones is done for the season. He will have shoulder surgery. That was first reported by Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Jones has been a key special teams contributor, and his injury is one reason why the Giants on Thursday claimed Ryan Miller on waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Miller, a 6-foot-2, 221-pound wide receiver, had been a core special teams player for Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Interim head coach Mike Kafka said on Friday that wide receiver\/kick returner Gunner Olszewski had progressed to the next step of the concussion protocol, and could clear in time to play Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Punter Jamie Gillan will not kick on Friday, but the Giants were not yet ready to rule him out on Friday morning. Still, it seems likely that veteran punter Cameron Johnston, signed to the practice squad this week, will be punting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, questionable with a hamstring injury, was a new addition to the injury report.<\/p>\n<p>Giants-Commanders final injury report<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">WR Beaux Collins | Neck\/Concussion<br \/>OLB Victor Dimukeje | Knee<br \/>CB Nic Jones | Shoulder<br \/>DL Rakeem Nu\u00f1ez-Roches Sr. | Ankle<br \/>OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux | Shoulder<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Collins just had his 21-day practice window opened this week.
