Giants' Micah McFadden: Avoids significant injury
McFadden is considered week-to-week, according to head coach Brian Daboll, after he suffered a hip injury in Saturday's preseason game against Houston, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
McFadden needed to be carted off the field, but it appears the injury won't derail his season. With more than two weeks until the Giants kick off their 2024 campaign against the Vikings on Sept. 8, the Indiana product may not miss any regular-season time.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Tending to hip injury
McFadden (hip) is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game at Houston, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
At this point, it's not clear just how serious the issue may be for McFadden. Until he's able to return to action, rookie sixth-rounder Darius Muasau could see an uptick in playing time.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Slated for big role in 2024
McFadden is listed as a starter at inside linebacker on the Giants' initial unofficial depth chart, per Dan Salomone of the team's official site.
After making seven starts over 17 regular-season games in his rookie campaign, McFadden started 14 of his 16 contests last season. However, the two games in which he didn't start came late in the campaign (Week 16 and 17), with Isaiah Simmons taking his place in the lineup for those matchups. Simmons is undergoing a position change, though, as he's listed as a nickel corner on New York's initial depth chart. That should open the door for McFadden to hang onto a starting role, and he makes for a potential target in IDP leagues after notching 101 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) and an interception last season.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Sees increased role in Year 2
McFadden played in 16 games during the 2023 season, recording 101 tackles (63 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with an interception and four recovered fumbles.
McFadden grew into a larger role in his second NFL campaign, tallying nearly 300 more defensive snaps despite playing in one fewer contest. The 2022 fifth-round draft pick ranked third on the Giants in stops and tied for the team lead with 12 tackles for loss. McFadden's strong season solidified his place in New York's plans moving forward, and with two years remaining on his rookie contract, he's set to return as a key piece of the team's defensive unit next season.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Part of two turnovers Sunday
McFadden registered seven tackles (three solo), an interception and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 14-9 loss to Buffalo.
McFadden finished second on the Giants in tackles behind Bobby Okereke, who racked up 11. The linebacker duo also combined for a pair of turnovers -- Okereke punched the ball away from Gabe Davis and into the arms of McFadden in the first quarter, then batted a Josh Allen pass that McFadden corralled for an interception in the second. McFadden played 79 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest after missing Week 5 versus Miami due to an ankle injury.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Will play Week 6
McFadden (ankle) is active against the Bills for Sunday Night Football.
McFadden has been dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out Week 5 versus Miami and led to him being deemed questionable entering this weekend. He was able to log a limited practice session Thursday and Friday, which was enough for him to suit up Sunday night. McFadden should reclaim his job as a starter, thus sending Isaiah Simmons back to a rotational role.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Questionable for Sunday's game
McFadden (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Bills, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
McFadden managed limited practices Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's session, and he seems like he has coin-flip odds to play in Week 6. If he can't go, Isaiah Simmons would again be likely to see more work at linebacker Sunday.

Giants' Micah McFadden: Misses practice Wednesday
McFadden (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
McFadden presumably sustained an ankle injury at practice last week, and that issue sidelined him for Sunday's game at Miami. Now, he'll probably need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at suiting up in Week 6 at the Bills.
