What this means for you

• If you’re tracking his availability for a specific upcoming game, the most reliable signal is the Giants’ official injury report published midweek (Wednesday/Thursday) ahead of game day, plus any late-week updates from credible outlets. Historical patterns show elbow issues have sidelined him in past seasons, but teams sometimes list him as questionable or inactive depending on the week and treatment progress .
