The Giants will officially have Leonard Williams and Wan’Dale Robinson active for Week 6 against the Ravens, despite both being questionable on the final injury report.
When Big Blue released its list of inactives about 90 minutes before game time, it contained only five names, four of which – wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott, and safety Jason Pinnock – were already listed as out on Friday’s injury report.
Pass rusher Azeez Ojulari was doubtful, officially, but he is expected to return against Jacksonville and is also inactive.
That means Robinson, who suffered a sprained MCL in Week 1, and Williams, who exited Week 2 with a knee sprain of his own, will be on the field Sunday afternoon. Tight end Tanner Hudson, who was on the injury report due to an illness, is also active.
Robinson’s return will boost an offense that is without Toney and Golladay, as well as Sterling Shepard, who is out for the year with a torn ACL. Darius Slayton was the Giants’ leading receiver in Week 5, and Richie James is their leading receiver
So, too, is Williams’ return to anchor a defensive line that is without one of its key rushers in Ojulari. Williams missed three weeks, his Week 3 absence officially ending a streak of 114 consecutive games played since being drafted by the Jets.
