After the brutal showing against the Minnesota Vikings to open the campaign, it's on to Week 2 for the NY Giants and head man Brian Daboll. While there are some injuries to worry about, the good news is that star wideout Malik Nabers is good to go for this one.
When Nabers popped up on the injury report with a knee issue, people were overcome with concern. However, leading up to this NFC East contest, Daboll said that his No. 6 overall pick is good to go and he'll be ready to make plays for Daniel Jones vs. Washington. Having said that, who will be inactive for both the Giants and Commanders on Sunday afternoon?
Full inactives list for NY Giants in Week 2
The Giants will be without:
• Safety Anthony Johnson
• Cornerback Nick McCloud
• Linebacker Darius Mausau
• Linebacker Boogie Basham
• Offensive lineman Jake Kubas
• Quarterback Tommy DeVito (emergency QB)
Full inactives list for Commanders in Week 2
The Commanders will be without:
• Cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr.
• Quarterback Sam Hartman (emergency QB)
• Safety Darrick Forrest
• Linebacker Dominique Hampton
• Defensive end Jamin Davis
• Offensive lineman Chris Paul
• Wide receiver Jamison Crowder
The Giants are small underdogs going up against the Commanders
The G-Men have dominated this rivalry of late, but Washington is the favorite to come out on top. It will be on Jones to try and steer NY towards an upset win. While there's a lack of confidence in Danny Dimes' game, he's 5-1-1 in his career against the Commanders.
Whenever he suits up against Washington, Jones impresses. Will more of the same be on the way in Week 2 of the 2024 campaign? That's what Giants fans everywhere are hoping for, as an 0-2 start to the year would spell disaster for this team. Not only that, but if the Giants lose and Jones struggles, it could prove to be his last game starting for Daboll and Co.
