The injuries are mounting for the NY Giants just as quickly as the losses.

Entering Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints at 0-3, several of the NY Giants most important players popped up on Thursday’s injury report.

Here’s a rundown of Thursday’s Giants injury report, ahead of Sunday’s Week 4 contest against the Saints:

OL Ben Bredeson (hand) – Did Not Participate

LB Blake Marintez (knee) – Did Not Participate

WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) – Did Not Participate

WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) – Did Not Participate

RB Saquon Barkley (knee) – Limited Participant

Slayton and Shepard not practicing for the second consecutive day, after departing from Sunday’s loss to the Falcons in the first half due to soft tissue injuries, is not encouraging for their possibility of playing Sunday.

Meanwhile, Crowder being added to the injury report for the first time this week is a blow to the NY Giants’ linebacker corps that must replace Martinez, who is lost for the season after tearing his ACL in Sunday’s game.
