The New York Giants will be without quarterback Jaxson Dart, wide receiver Darius Slayton and three defensive starters — edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux, defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches and safety Tyler Nubin on Sunday afternoon against the Green Bay Packers.
Jameis Winston will make his first start for the Giants with Dart (concussion) sidelined. Newly-resigned Isaiah Hodgins and Jalin Hyatt will likely split time at wide receiver in place of Slayton.
Thibodeaux’s absence likely means a higher percentage of defensive snaps for both Brian Burns and Abdul Carter. The absence of Nunez-Roches might be one reason the Giants elevated defensive tackle Elijah Chatman from the practice squad.
Full inactives for both teams are below.
