New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy, Jr. (ankle) was able to practice Friday on a limited basis after missing the last two days of practice with his injury. He is good to go for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, having not received an injury designation.
MEanwhile, rookie receiver Malik Naberts (toe) also was able to get in some practice reps, but he is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. Nabers, who is looking for his first 1,000-yard season, told reporters on Thursday that he’ll likely be a game-time decision.
Four other starters missed their third days of practice this week and have been declared out. The four players are center John Michael Schmitz (ankle), cornerback Greg Stroman (shoulder/shin), defensive back Raheem Layne (knee), and inside linebacker Micah McFadden (neck).
Daboll also confirmed that guard Greg Van Roten, who popped up on the injury report Thursday with a knee issue that left him limited in Thursday’s practice, will get the start at center on Sunday.
Daboll added that inside linebacker Dyontae Johnson will likely see a good number of snaps, as will Ty Summers. He also said that guard Austin Schlottmann, who is currently in his 21-day window after being designated to return from IR, could be activated.
