It has been a long while since we have looked at the New York Giants to see how much injuries and other roster decisions have impacted the 53-man roster. With Mike Kafka now interim head coach in place of Brian Daboll, this feels like a good time to do that.

| TE | Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger | Chris Manhertz | Thomas Fidone |
| WR | Darius Slayton | Jalin Hyatt | Isaiah Hodgins |
| WR | Wan’Dale Robinson | Gunner Olszewski | |
| LT | Andrew Thomas | James Hudson | |
| LG | Jon Runyan Jr. | Aaron Stinnie | |
| C | John Michael Schmitz | Austin Schlottman | |
| RG | Greg Van Roten | Evan Neal | |
| RT | Jermaine Eluemunor | Marcus Mbow |
Two things about the offense:
- It is going to be interesting to see the playing time split between Jalin Hyatt and Isaiah Hodgins with Darius Slayton out against the Green Bay Packers.
- Evan Neal is out this week with a hamstring. Is he headed toward injured reserve as the Giants move on from their 2022 seventh overall pick?

If you have not been paying attention, there are a lot of new names at linebacker and in the secondary.

It is interesting to see Deonte Banks’ name here. So, far it looks like he is a better return man than cornerback.
