The New York Giants returned to the field for the second of three practices Thursday afternoon ahead of their Week 2 game against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium.
Wide receiver Darius Slayton, who is in the concussion protocol, took a step toward returning. He participated in a red non-contact jersey and is expected to play in Sunday’s game if cleared.
The same can’t be said for the other three players who missed Wednesday’s practice: wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (groin) was out as expected, while cornerback Nick McLeod (knee) and linebacker Darius Muasau (knee) remain sidelined.
It looks like Olszewski’s return to the field is unlikely for the next few weeks.
Finally, rookie wide receiver Malik Neighbors was placed on injured reserve with a knee issue that limited his availability.
See below for the Giants’ complete injury report from Thursday.
