Injury Report: Giants vs. Packers
Giants
The Giants are relatively healthy heading into their Week 6 matchup with the Packers. The only player listed on the injury report is wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. Toney is questionable to play, but he is expected to be a game-time decision.
Packers
The Packers have a few more injuries to deal with than the Giants. Cornerback Jaire Alexander (ankle), wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle), and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) are all listed as questionable. Alexander and Lazard are both key players for the Packers, so their status will be worth monitoring. Bakhtiari is still recovering from a torn ACL, so it is unclear if he will be able to play this week.
Injury Analysis
The Giants are fortunate to not have any major injuries to deal with. Toney is a talented player, but he is not a key part of the offense. The Packers, on the other hand, could be without some key players this week. Alexander is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and Lazard is the Packers' leading receiver. If either of those players is unable to play, it will be a big blow to the Packers' chances of winning.
Conclusion
The Giants and Packers are both dealing with some injuries, but the Packers are the more banged-up team. The Packers' injuries could give the Giants an advantage in this matchup. However, the Giants will need to play well to take advantage of the Packers' injuries. The Giants are a talented team, but they will need to be at their best to beat the Packers.
