New York Giants downgrade Devin Singletary, Bryce Ford-Wheaton to out

When the New York Giants released their final injury report on Friday afternoon, running back Devin Singletary (groin), wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton (shoulder), and punter Jamie Gillan (hamstring) were all listed as questionable.

On Saturday, the Giants downgraded the trio to out.

For Singletary, this will be the second consecutive game he’s missed after initially implying he was close to returning. He will be spelled by rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., who seized the opportunity a week ago, rushing for 129 yards on 18 carries.

Gillan will be replaced by veteran punter Matt Haack, who was signed to the 53-man roster on Friday. Haack will also serve as the holder on point after and field goal attempts.

Ford-Wheaton was a late addition to the injury report, popping up on Thursday as a non-participant. He was limited on Friday but his injury is severe enough that he’ll sit this one out.

The loss of Ford-Wheaton should not be glossed over as he’s arguably the Giants’ best special teams player and returned a blocked field goal (Isaiah Simmons) for a touchdown in the team’s victory over Seattle.

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) was also previously ruled out.
