Fantasy Impact: Burns is a new addition to the team's injury report, being listed with a groin injury that will leave him questionable to play on Sunday. It's unclear if he is trending one direction or the other, and if he's unable to play, that will be a tough blow to New York's defense.

Fantasy Impact: Simmons was away from the team on Thursday due to personal reasons. He is expected to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Graham Gano is expected to be unavailable for a few weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 2's contest against the Washington Commanders. (Source: Ari Meirov on X)
Fantasy Impact: Gano can be dropped in fantasy leagues following this news. The Giants will likely sign a kicker this week, but that is yet to be determined. The 15-year veteran started 2024 in perfect fashion, going 2-for-2, before suffering this soft tissue injury.
Darius Slayton (concussion) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. (Source: Dan Salomone)
Fantasy Impact: Slayton is off of the injury report and will be good to go for Sunday's game. He was in the NFL's concussion protocols earlier this week, but he has been cleared to play and shouldn't face any restrictions to his workload. Fantasy managers still shouldn't start him, even in a great matchup against the Commanders.
Gunner Olszewski (groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. (Source: Dan Salomone)
Fantasy Impact: Olszewski is set to miss his second-straight game because of a groin injury. It's unclear when he will be healthy enough to make his return to the lineup, and the team will continue to take his recovery week-to-week. His absence doesn't carry much weight for fantasy purposes.
Malik Nabers (knee) is not on New York's injury report ahead of Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. (Source: Ryan Dunleavy on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Nabers was added to New York's injury report this week after sustaining a knee injury, but fortunately, it has turned out to be nothing more than a minor issue. He is off of the injury report entirely and should be started without hesitation in a favorable matchup against the Commanders.
The Giants have removed QB Drew Lock (abdomen) from the injury report. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Lock has been dealing with an abdomen injury since the preseason. With Lock healthy, he will serve as the primary backup to Daniel Jones heading into Week 1.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is not on New York's injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. (Source: Ryan Dunleavy on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The rookie suffered a scary ankle injury earlier this offseason, but he has progressed well and is now off of the injury report entirely ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. He should be good to go and will likely see solid involvement in the season opener.
Micah McFadden is limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Patricia Traina on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: McFadden is dealing with a groin injury. He appears likely to be good to go for the season opener.
Dane Belton is limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Patricia Traina on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Belton is likely on track to be good to go for the season opener barring any setbacks.
The New York Giants placed LB Matthew Adams on IR and designated to return. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Adams will be eligible to return after the first four games of the season.
The Giants have placed WR Isaiah McKenzie on season-ending IR with a lower body injury. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: McKenzie was not designated for return and his 2024 season is over, unless he agrees to an injury settlement with the team. The Giants will likely use Gunner Olszewski as their primary kick and punt returner with McKenize out.

Fantasy Impact: The injury isn't expected to be anything serious, and Ford-Wheaton should be able to return soon, though his status for New York's first game of the preseason is likely in question. Ford-Wheaton, an undrafted rookie in 2023, spent his rookie year on the Giants' injured reserve after tearing his ACL in Game 3 of the 2023 preseason.
