Now for the bad news. Outside linebacker Brian Burns (groin) and interior defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hip) were held out of Wednesday’s practice. Burns has been struggling with a groin injury that first popped up in Week 2 and which the Giants are trying to manage. Lawrence’s injury is new and something to keep an eye on during the week.

Turns out Andrew Thomas undergoing season-ending might not even be the worst Giants injury news to come out of this week.

Giants star rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has missed the last two games in concussion protocol. He could be back on the practice field Wednesday.
