The Giants’ offensive line takes another hit
New York Giants left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) and edge Azeez Ojulari (toe) have been ruled questionable to return to the game.
Ojulari had spent a significant number of the Giants’ defensive snaps as Kayvon Thibodeaux makes his return from the injured reserve.
Meanwhile, Azeez Ojulari is questionable to return with a toe injury. So Kayvon Thibodeaux’s pitch count just went up. Patrick Johnson is the only other active OLB.

Eluemunor left the field following the Giants’ first possession and was seen to be in “significant” pain on the bench.
Hubbard is in at LT https://t.co/QH0MYEqAAI

Eluemunor was replaced at left tackle by Chris Hubbard for the Giants’ following drive, which ended in a failed fourth-down conversion on the Giants’ 38 yard line. A 2024 free agent acquisition, Eluemunor started the season as the Giants’ right tackle, but moved to left tackle prior to the Giants’ bye week. The the team made the decision to reinsert Evan Neal at right tackle, believing that he and Eluemunor were their best option for replacing Andrew Thomas.
For now, Neal will be bookended by Chris Hubbard, which could be a significant blow to the Giants’ pass protection. Tommy DeVito has already taken one big sack this game, the play on which Eluemunor was (apparently) injured.
