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.
