Giants' Harrison Out; Commanders Face Key Absences

The New York Giants have confirmed their inactive list for the upcoming game, with linebacker Malik Harrison being the only player designated as questionable due to a groin injury. Harrison, a significant contributor on special teams, ranks second on the team with five solo tackles. The Giants have elevated Dawuane Smoot and Chandler Martin to potentially cover Harrison's snaps. The remainder of the Giants' inactive players are healthy scratches, including several defensive backs and offensive linemen.

Conversely, the Washington Commanders are also dealing with key player absences. Offensive lineman Lucas Patrick and tight end Colson Yankoff have been officially ruled out due to injuries sustained earlier in the week. Their inactives also include quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, cornerback Isaac Yiadom, defensive tackle Ricky Barber, and guard Tanoa Togiai, further shaping the team's available roster for the matchup.
