The New York Giants enter their Week 12 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reasonably healthy but not without concern. 

Receiver Malik Nabers was added to the injury report on Friday and listed as having a groin issue that kept him out of practice. Although he received a questionable designation, there is early optimism that he will play Sunday.

Inside linebacker Micah McFadden, who was listed with a heel ailment, was also added to the injury report with a questionable designation. McFadden was not spotted during the part of practice open to the media on Friday.

Three other Giants players–receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles), inside linebacker Darius Muasau (hamstring), and outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist/IR)--were listed as questionable on the injury report.

Thibodeaux is expected to be activated by Saturdya's 4 p.m. deadline, as the Giants have a roster opening after releasing quarterback Daniel Jones

Receiver Darius Slayton, who has been in the league’s concussion protocol, has been cleared and did not receive an injury designation. 

Two other key starters–interior defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (knee) and slot cornerback Dru Phillips (hip)- did not receive injury designations.

Here are the full injury reports for both teams.
