INJURY NEWS: Kayvon Thibodeaux of the Giants suffers a shoulder injury before a pivotal Browns game
The New York Giants’ NFL season ended with a 21-18 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday, dropping them to 0-2 overall. According to Giants.com’s Dan Salomone, linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux of the Giants was included on the team’s injury report on Wednesday as they got ready for their next game against the Cleveland Browns.
Along with linebacker Darius Muasau, who is recovering from a knee injury, and Isaiah Simmons, who isn’t hurt but is limited for personal reasons, Thibodeaux is also listed as restricted in practice due to a shoulder injury. Nick McCloud, a cornerback, was not involved in practice due to a knee injury.
Following the Commanders’ victory over New York, Thibodeaux seemed upbeat and focused on the upcoming Week 3.
“All you can do is concentrate on what you can control and keep improving if there’s a will, there’s a way, 17 games,” Thibodeaux remarked. “You simply have to keep creating, utilize what you can, and dispose of the remainder.”
Against the Bears, Giants coach Brian Daboll concentrated on establishing “consistency.”
Brian Daboll, the head coach of the New York Giants, avoided uncomfortable interactions with the media this week by describing how every regular-season game presents a chance for his team to get better each week. He won’t focus on the past because Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux could be sidelined, but he is optimistic that his team will learn from its mistakes in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.
According to NFL.com, he stated, “I want to see consistency like we talk about every week.” “Go in, get ready properly, come out, and play some excellent football.” Act morally in circumstances. Play with each other. Every week is unique, and this week we’re only paying attention to the Browns.
Despite allowing seven field goals, the Giants’ defense restricted the Commanders’ offense to zero touchdowns. Daboll was questioned on if his team’s decision to let up three-point plays instead of six- and seven-point conversions was desirable.
“Definitely, yes,” he answered. “Plays with four points are essential. Playing well in the red zone, finishing with three points, and evolving offensively are all important. We also need to keep them out of the zone more and make sure we score when we’re down there, he continued. “We did in the last game what we did in the previous one. Thus, we will keep working on the consistency aspect that was present early in the year.
After a week of practice, it’s the sense of urgency he wants to see in his guys.
“Like we attempt to do every week, the emphasis is on everything you can do this week. When the players arrive, you schedule sessions with them after investing the same amount of time in preparation that a coaching staff would have spent reviewing old tapes and trying to plan out each of the three phases,” Daboll continued. “This week, you really need to concentrate on the game you’re playing.”
