The Giants Week 17 injury report took a turn for the better on Thursday.

there was good news for the New York Giants on the injury front ahead of their Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Giants, who held a full practice on Thursday, upgraded several players who had been projected to be unable to practice on Wednesday. Those include cornerback Deonte Banks (shoulder), tight end Lawrence Cager (groin), and defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), A’Shawn Robinson (back), and Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee), all of whom were upgraded to limited status.

The Giants also upgraded several players who were initially projected as limited on Wednesday to full status, including running back Saquon Barkley (elbow), offensive linemen Ben Bredeson (quad) and John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (quad), defensive back Adoree’ Jackson (ankle), and tight end Darren Waller (knee).

Punter Jamie Gillan (left goin/left knee) and offensive lineman Justin Pugh (elbow) remain limited. Pugh, however, had a back issue added to his injury status.

Giants first-round pick Deonte Banks couldn’t finish Thursday night’s game against the 49ers because of an arm injury and the cornerback will be getting further tests on it Friday.

Banks told reporters that he will have an MRI to assess the damage. Banks was injured when he was kneed in the upper arm during the first half of the game.

Banks had two tackles on Thursday night. He has seven tackles and three passes defensed through his first three NFL games.

Right tackle Evan Neal and defensive lineman D.J. Davidson also left with injuries on Thursday night, but the biggest news on the medical front for the Giants was running back Saquon Barkley saying that he’s dealing with a high-ankle sprain. That injury typically comes with a longer recovery timeline than the low-ankle variety, but the Giants aren’t likely to make any call about Barkley’s availability until much closer to their Monday night game against the Seahawks in Week Four.
