"Giants cornerback Paulson Adebo will sit out Sunday's matchup with the Lions because of a sprained MCL. It'll be the fourth straight absence for Adebo, though the Giants haven't placed him on IR. He was on track to play in the Giants' loss to the Packers last week before suffering a setback in warmups, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. It's unclear whether Adebo will be ready to return against the Patriots in Week 13. If not, he'll have an extra week to recover with the Giants on a bye after that. Adebo missed 10 games with a broken leg in 2024, his final season with the Saints, but still scored a three-year, $54MM contract in free agency. In his first seven games with the Giants (all starts), Adebo has recorded 48 tackles and four passes defensed."
"The Rams are "getting close" to exploring opening cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon's 21-day practice window, according to head coach Sean McVay (via Sarah Barshop of ESPN). Witherspoon broke his clavicle in a Week 2 win over the Titans, forcing him to go on IR. Expectations then were that Witherspoon would need 12 weeks to recover. If his timeline hasn't changed, he could return in the first half of December. Meanwhile, McVay is optimistic that wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will be back in the lineup in Week 13. Atwell, who has been on IR since Oct. 27, will miss his fourth straight game on Sunday."
Paulson Adebo will miss the Giants' game versus the Lions due to a sprained MCL, marking his fourth straight absence without an IR designation. Adebo had a setback in warmups before the Packers game and may or may not be available for Week 13; a subsequent bye would provide extra recovery time. Adebo previously missed 10 games with a broken leg in 2024 yet secured a three-year, $54 million contract and has 48 tackles and four passes defensed in seven starts for the Giants. Other NFC updates: Ahkello Witherspoon could begin a 21-day window after a clavicle fracture; Tutu Atwell remains on IR for a hamstring injury; Lukas Van Ness is questionable after missing five games with a foot issue; Billy Bowman suffered an Achilles injury and will miss Week 12.
