So much for the Giants’ prosperity. That didn’t even reach the first practice of the week.
Big Blue will be without Kayvon Thibodeaux for at least the next few weeks, it appears.
The young defensive end underwent wrist surgery Wednesday morning and is being listed as week to week, according to coach Brian Daboll.
It’s uncertain how long Thibodeaux, the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, will be sidelined.
Daboll declined to offer a timeline or say if Injured Reserve is an option. It isn’t believed to be a season-ending injury.
NFL Network reported the injury is a fractured scaphoid bone in his wrist. The scaphoid bone is one of the eight small bones in the wrist. It helps coordinate motion and stability in the wrist joint.
Thibodeaux, 23, has two sacks and eight solo tackles on the season.
Azeez Ojulari will replace Thibodeaux for the time being.
There was some promising injury news for the Giants on Wednesday.
Malik Nabers (concussion) is doing better and will do some work to the side in practice, according to Daboll. He is not yet out of the concussion protocol.
Meanwhile, running back Devin Singletary will practice after missing the win over the Seahawks on Sunday with a groin injury.
