Jaxson Dart (concussion) won’t be the only New York Giants’ starter out of the lineup on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The Giants on Friday ruled out starting wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring),
starting edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder), reserve outside linebacker Chauncey Golston (neck) and reserve offensive lineman Evan Neal (hamstring).
Further weakening an already struggling defense, defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (toe) and safety Tyler Nubin (neck) are listed as doubtful.
Cornerback Paulson Adebo (knee) and linebacker Bobby Okereke (shoulder) are questionable. Adebo, the team’s No. 1 cornerback, has missed the last three games.
Dart making progress
Dart was on the practice field for the first time since suffering his concussion on Friday as he stretched with teammates during the early part of practice viewable by media.
“I just think he’s on track and in the protocol where he’s supposed to be on this day,” said interim head coach Mike Kafka. “I don’t know if it’s over track, under track. They just said he’s on track, which is great news for me.”
That would mean Dart should clear the league’s concussion protocol in time to play next weekend when the Giants travel to face the Detroit Lions.
