The NY Giants will once again be without Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, and several key players in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys

The NY Giants will be without several key players on both sides of the football, in Sunday’s NFC East clash with the Dallas Cowboys.

Giants wide receivers Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard will each miss their second consecutive game, due to hamstring injuries. As will offensive lineman Ben Bredeson (hand).

Meanwhile, offensive tackle Andrew Thomas is listed as questionable due to a foot injury.

However, the NY Giants’ injury woes aren’t limited to the offense.

Defensively, the NY Giants will also be without starting safety Jabrill Peppers (hamstring).

Similarly to last Sunday’s 27-21 overtime upset win over the New Orleans Saints, the NY Giants will likely turn to wide receivers Kadarius Toney and John Ross to take on expanded roles, as quarterback Daniel Jones aims to build on the strongest performance of his young career.

In Week 4, John Ross caught his first touchdown pass as a member of the NY Giants, and Kadarius Toney caught six passes for 78 yards.

The NY Giants and Dallas Cowboys kickoff at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
