By this point of the NFL season, many players across the league are banged up, but some teams are dealing with more injuries than others.
While they have struggled mostly due to a substandard roster across the board, the New York Giants have also had lots of injuries to deal with as they prepare to host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
A whopping 19 players were listed on their injury report for Thursday, including quarterback Drew Lock, who is dealing with heel and left elbow ailments.

This has been a very frustrating season for New York, as they’re tied for the worst record in the NFL at 2-11 and have had to make some changes along the way.
The most notable change was the decision to bench Daniel Jones, who had been their starting QB since his rookie season in 2019, and he was subsequently released and picked up by the Minnesota Vikings.
It was initially thought the Giants were going to go with Tommy DeVito, who briefly became a hero late last season after Daniels tore his ACL, at QB1, but they have instead gone with Lock.
Perhaps the only bright spot of this miserable season for them has been rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who has caught 80 passes for 819 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games and already looks like a star.
At this point, the only thing the Giants may have to play for is the top pick in the upcoming draft and a shot at using it on a potential franchise signal-caller.
