Giants Optimistic Dexter Lawrence Will Play vs. Saints After Illness
Coach Brian Daboll expects the nose tackle to be available despite an illness.
Overview
- He missed practice Wednesday through Friday with an unspecified illness unrelated to his elbow and did not meet with reporters.
- He is listed as questionable on the final injury report for Week 5 in New Orleans.
- Brian Daboll said Lawrence is still sick but added he should be ready to go.
- The team elevated a kicker and a linebacker from the practice squad, a signal they anticipate him suiting up.
- If his snaps are managed, D.J. Davidson is the likely replacement inside, and Lawrence’s Week 4 included 71% of defensive snaps with a tackle for loss, a pass defensed, and a near pick-six.
