Clear of knee injury
Ford-Wheaton (knee) played 26 offensive snaps in Thursday's preseason win over the Lions, catching one of two targets for six yards.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton hyperextended his knee during practice last Friday, but he recovered from the injury quickly and was able to lead New York's wideouts with 26 snaps on offense against Detroit. His lone catch came in the third quarter on a short pass, though he did draw a defensive pass-interference penalty on another play. Ford-Wheaton is attempting to secure a spot as a depth receiver on the 53-man roster after missing all of last season due to a torn ACL.

Hyperextends knee
Ford-Wheaton hyperextended his knee at Friday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: There is no word on the severity of Ford-Wheaton's injury at this time. A return to training camp sooner than later would be beneficial for the young pass catcher, as he is competing against a plethora of receivers for a spot on the 53-man roster. He spent his entire rookie campaign on New York's injured reserve due to an ACL tear. It is unclear if this current injury is to the same knee.

Dealing with AC sprain
Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) suffered an AC sprain during Tuesday's minicamp practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton missed the entire 2023 season while rehabbing from a torn ACL, and while it appears he's completed rehab on his knee, the second-year pro is now dealing with a new injury. Coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that he hopes every player on the Giants' roster will be ready for training camp, though, so Ford-Wheaton should be on track to return by late July.

Participating in OTAs
Ford-Wheaton (knee) was an active participant at the Giants' team OTAs this week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton missed the entirety of last season after suffering a torn ACL in the preseason, but he now looks to be all set to return to the field in 2024. The wide receiver joined New York as an undrafted free agent in 2023 after a senior campaign with West Virginia in which he secured 62 receptions for 675 yards and seven touchdowns and he'll attempt to crack the Giants' active roster in order to make his NFL debut this year.
