The Giants will board a charter flight Thursday night to head over to London for a Week 5 game against the Packers. It remains to be seen how many healthy players the Giants have available after they were battered, but not beaten, in Sunday’s 20-12 victory over the Bears.
The Giants lost both their quarterbacks, as the status of Daniel Jones (ankle) and Tyrod Taylor (concussion) is very much up in the air this week. There were plenty of other injury issues coming out of an extremely physical game, prompting head coach Brian Daboll to say “There’s a list. There’s quite a bit of guys that were out there.’’
It was a rough first half for the Giants, who lost three players on defense. Safety Julian Love was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter and did not return, robbing the defense of a player who is on the field for every snap. Cornerback Aaron Robinson started two weeks after having his appendix removed. He was forced out early in the second quarter with a knee injury when he was hit low by fullback Khari Blasingame and twisted his legs on the turf. Defensive lineman Henry Mondeaux, elevated from the practice squad, was carted off the field late in the second quarter with an ankle injury.
There was more. Outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari on the second to last play of the game tweaked the calf issue that kept him out of the first two games. “I think I’ll be all right, though,’’ Ojulari said.
