News

  • Good to go for Week 12

    Golston (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Golston appears set to return after missing the previous five contests. Golston will provide depth off the edge behind Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

  • Missing fifth straight game

    Golston (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Golston continues to work through a neck injury that prevented him from practicing during Week 11 prep. He'll miss a fifth consecutive game as a result of his injury, and his next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 23. With Golston and Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) both ruled out, Abdul Carter, Victor Dimukeje and Tomon Fox are all candidates for increased snaps at linebacker alongside Brian Burns.

  • Won't be available at Chicago

    Golston (neck) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Golston will miss his fourth straight game due to a lingering neck injury in Week 10. Most of his snaps so far this year have come on special teams, so the Giants will have to try to find a way to replicate his production in that phase.

  • Absent again

    Golston (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Golston was unable to practice in any capacity during the week and will be in line to miss his third consecutive contest. His absence primarily leaves a hole in the Giants' special teams unit.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Golston (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Iowa product is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a neck injury. Golston has appeared in four games this season, recording three total tackles across 44 defensive snaps. While he's sidelined in Week 8, Victor Dimukeje is expected to serve as one of the Giants' top reserve edge rushers.

    Golston (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Golston played in both Weeks 5 and 6 after missing time with an injury earlier in the season. It's unclear how serious his neck issue is, but he won't travel with the team to face the Broncos in Week 7. Golston has contributed primarily on special teams.

  • Out for Week 4

    Golston (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Golston is now in line to miss his second consecutive game while dealing with an ankle issue. The Iowa product played 81 total snaps (49 on special teams, 32 on defense) over the Giants' first two games this season, recording two total tackles. Abdul Carter is expected to serve as New York's lone reserve outside linebacker with Golston sidelined Sunday.

  • Inactive for Week 3

    Golston (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Golston will be forced to miss Week 3 while dealing with an apparent ankle injury. The linebacker combined to play 32 defensive snaps over the team's first two games of the year, so his absence doesn't carry a massive impact.

  • Staying in NFC East

    The Giants agreed to terms with Golston on a three-year, $19.5 million contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Golston had a career year in 2024 with the Cowboys, starting 13 of 17 games while setting career highs across the board with 56 tackles (30 solo), including 5.5 sacks, five pass breakups, including one interception, and one fumble recovery on 72 percent of the defensive snaps. Golston gives the Giants another capable pass rusher, whether it's off the edge with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux or with his hand in the dirt alongside Dexter Lawrence.

  • Strong finish to season

    Golston recorded three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: The fourth-year defensive end had something of a breakout campaign in 2024, finishing with career highs in tackles (56) and sacks (5.5), and 3.5 of those sacks came in the final four weeks of the season. Golston, a third-round pick in 2021, may have played well enough to earn himself a big contract and a starting role with another team in 2025 as he heads into free agency, but Dallas may not make a strong push to bring him back with an extension to Micah Parsons to worry about, and Sam Williams…read more

  • Sacks Mayfield in close Week 16 win

    Golston registered six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Golston took down Baker Mayfield for a five-yard loss midway through the second quarter, and the former has now registered at least 1.0 sacks in two straight games. Golston has started at defensive end since Week 5 due to DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) being on injured reserve. Over that span, Golston has registered 41 tackles (22 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery across 11 games.

  • Returns to Sunday's game

    Golston has returned to Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Commanders after temporarily exiting in the first quarter due to dehydration, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Golston went to the locker room briefly but was able to re-enter the game in the second quarter. He made a big play soon after his return, ripping the ball out of Washington running back Brian Robinson's grasp for an interception that he advanced 18 yards.

  • Exits due to dehydration

    Golston is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 game against Washington due to dehydration, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Golston headed to the locker room in the first quarter and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. The fourth-year pro has been a staple on Dallas' D-line of late, logging at least 82 percent of the team's defensive snaps in four straight contests following the Cowboys' Week 7 bye. Carl Lawson and Marshawn Kneeland could get increased work if Golston is unable to return Sunday.

  • Impressing during offseason work

    Golston (ankle) performed well during OTAs, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Golston underwent ankle surgery in January but was back on the field during OTAs. The 24-year-old bulked up during the offseason and performed well and created good pressure while working on the defensive line. He appeared in 15 games for the Cowboys last year and will attempt to carve out playing time ahead of the 2022 season.

  • Ankle surgery Thursday

    Golston will have surgery on his ankle Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Golston played in 15 games for the Cowboys in 2021, making 32 tackles -- including a sack -- while deflecting a pass. The defensive end appears to have picked up an ankle issue at some point during the season, which he will address with Thursday's procedure.

  • Practices in pads for first time

    Golston (hamstring) fully participated in his first padded practice in the NFL on Friday, but he doesn't appear likely to play in a game anytime soon, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy said Golston is progressing well, but he thinks the Cowboys have to be "practical" with where he is at. The rookie third-round pick missed all of training camp with a hamstring injury, and he is unlikely to suit up for the second straight regular-season game.

  • Returns from PUP list

    The Cowboys activated Golston (hamstring) from the PUP list Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Golston started training camp on the PUP list, and now that he's passed his physical, he counts against the 53-man roster. Considering the amount of reps he's missed, the rookie third-round pick could be eased into action when the regular season kicks off.

  • Placed on PUP list

    Golston was placed on the preseason PUP list Thursday due to a hamstring injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Golston signed his rookie deal Wednesday, but he'll be unavailable to begin training camp. The Cowboys haven't yet announced when the third-round pick could take the field.
