*Eli Apple – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Eli Apple (groin) was limited in Wednesday’s practice. Head coach Pat Shurmur sounded optimistic that Apple might return to the lineup this weekend after missing the last two games due to a groin strain.
Cody Latimer – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Cody Latimer (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice. Latimer’s status for Sunday is uncertain.
Connor Barwin – Noteworthy – Injury
LB Connor Barwin (knee) didn’t practice Wednesday. Barwin, who was seen with a brace on his knee, is on a managed practice schedule for the foreseeable future.
Damon Harrison – Noteworthy – Injury
DT Damon Harrison (knee) didn’t practice Wednesday. Harrison has been on a managed practice schedule of late and apparently will continue to be on such a schedule for the foreseeable future.
Devon Kennard – Noteworthy
LB Devon Kennard had his fourth sack of the season against the Cowboys. Kennard matched his season total from last year with the New York Giants, and is a half-sack away from tying his career high.
Evan Engram – Noteworthy – Injury
TE Evan Engram (knee) will not practice this week and continues to be week-to-week after suffering a sprained MCL in the team’s Week 3 win over the Texans. Engram is currently wearing a support brace on his injured knee but is otherwise able to move around without any additional aids.
Jylan Ware – Noteworthy – Transaction
T Jylan Ware was signed by the Giants to their practice squad Tuesday (Oct. 2). He had been waived by the Raiders Sept. 1.
Olivier Vernon – Noteworthy – Injury
LB Olivier Vernon (ankle) was limited Wednesday. Head coach Pat Shurmur sounded more optimistic that there is a better chance Vernon will be ready for his 2018 season debut. However, with a short turnaround time in between games, it will be interesting to see if the Giants wait another week with their outside linebacker.
Quandree Henderson – Noteworthy – Transaction
WR Quandree Henderson, who is also a return specialist, was signed to the Giants practice squad. Henderson, an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh, was most recently in camp with the Steelers. In three years at Pitt, Henderson had 73 kickoff returns for 1,942 yards (26.6 per return) and four touchdowns. He also returned punts for two years, recording 37 returns for 495 yards (13.4 per return), and with 11 of those returns going for 15-plus yards.
Sterling Shepard – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Sterling Shepard (back) had a small cyst removed from his back that has left him sore, but head coach Pat Shurmur said that Shepard, who didn’t practice Wednesday, will be good to go for Sunday’s game.
