Other than for right tackle Evan Neal (hip/ankle) and defensive back Art Green (quad), both of whom had their respective injury statuses upgraded, the New York Giants Thursday injury report is still a lengthy one in which five starters are trending toward being inactive for this weekend’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Inside linebacker Bobby Okereke (back), cornerback Dru Phillips (shoulder), left guard Jon Runyan, Jr., (ankle), defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder), and quarterback Drew Lock (heel/left elbow) are all trending in the wrong direction for Sunday as the Giants play out the string of their season.

Okereke, Phillips, and Nunez Roches were all inactive last week. Lock and Runyan are new additions to this week’s injury report and are trending toward joining those three on the inactive list.

The rash of injuries has forced the Giants to make numerous roster tweaks over the last several weeks, particularly at the defensive line, cornerback, and offensive line positions.  

The Giants, who per Over the Cap have $2.496 million in salary cap space remaining this year, are expected to elevate help front their practice squad for this weekend’s game against the Ravens in order to fill out additional holes at positions lacking depth due to injuries.

In other injury-related news, head coach Brian Daboll told the media Thursday that safety Tyler Nubin, who was placed on injured reserve this week, will “probably” need surgery in the not-too-distant future to repair his ailment.
