The New York Giants’ injury report took a downward turn Saturday as three players who were enlisted as questionable on Friday were downgraded to out.

Punter Jamie Gillan (hamstring), running back Devin Singletary (groin), and wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) will not play in Sunday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. 

They will join receiver Malik NAbers, who was already declared out on Friday, while outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux, who was declared out on Friday with a wrist injury, was moved to injured reserve.

Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and running back Dante Miller were elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week to replace Nabers and Singletary. The Giants also signed punter Matt Haack on Saturday to kick for Gillan, whose hamstring issue is to his kicking leg.

With Singletary sidelined again, rookie Tyrone Tracy, Jr. will get the start, looking to deliver an encore to his 18-carry, 129-yard performance against the Seattle Seahawks last week.

Hodgins will provide depth at receiver, given that both Nabers and Ford-Wheaton are inactive.  In addition to doing the punting, Haack will likely take Gillan’s spot as the holder for place kicks.
