Cardinals Rule Two Starters Out vs Giants

Giants TE Darren Waller previously told reporters he would be playing despite being on the injury report. New York WR Sterling Shepard is back from his rest day and was not part of the initial ten players the Giants had on their injury report earlier in the week.

DOUBTFUL - Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee)

QUESTIONABLE - Andrew Thomas (hamstring)

Friday's participation for New York:

Limited –LB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), OL Andrew Thomas (hamstring), TE Darren Waller (hamstring/rest)

Full – DB Deonte Banks (calf), LB Cam Brown (ankle), DB Cor’Dale Flott (hamstring), PK Graham Gano (right ankle), WR Sterling Shepard (NIR-rest) DB Gervarrius Owens (hamstring), OL Matt Peart (elbow)

Gannon and Rallis have previous experience facing New York, as both were on Philadelphia's defensive staff last season, though the familiarity won't factor into the gameplan too much according to Gannon:

“Every year is a new year, so my familiarity is they’re two really good players and understand how we have to defend them because of their skill sets. Saquon’s a high-volume guy that can beat you in the run and pass game, breaks a lot of tackles, he’s explosive, he has good vision and he’s fast. Daniel’s got a big arm, he’s hard to sack, he extends plays, he breaks tackles and he’s a runner. They use him in a way that makes it hard on a defense so that’s shown up from when we were playing them in the same division, that showed up against Dallas, and that’s going to continue to show up because they do a good job of maximizing those two guys.”

Inactives will officially be announced 90 minutes prior to kickoff. 

The Giants are currently 4.5-point favorites over Arizona.
