  • Not ready to return from IR

    Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Friday that McFadden (foot) is not ready to return from the injured reserve list, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was placed on IR and underwent foot surgery after sustaining an injury in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. While he remains sidelined, Darius Muasau (ankle) and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles are expected to have expanded roles on New York's defense.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Giants placed McFadden (foot) on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: McFadden suffered a foot injury during the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders, which is severe enough to require surgery. McFadden's placement on IR means he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games and is eligible to return Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday, Oct. 9. Darius Muasau played 38 defensive snaps in Week 1 and will likely start at inside linebacker alongside Bobby Okereke while McFadden is recovering from his procedure.

    Analysis: This news comes as no surprise, as McFadden's foot injury will require surgery, and he was expected to miss "significant time." While McFadden remains sidelined Sunday, Darius Muasau is expected to start alongside Bobby Okereke in New York's inside linebacker corps.

  • Undergoing surgery on foot

    McFadden is expected to miss "significant time" due to a foot injury that will require surgery, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McFadden was carted off the field during the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. It was initially reported as a leg injury, and while X-rays on his leg came back negative, further tests revealed a significant foot injury that will require the 2022 fifth-rounder to undergo surgery. It's a significant loss to the Giants' defense, as McFadden led the team with 107 combined tackles across 14 regular-season games in 2024. Darius Muasau ended up playing 38 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss and…read more

  • X-rays come back negative

    McFadden suffered a leg injury during Sunday's game against the Commanders, but it appears he did not suffer any structural damage, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McFadden appeared to suffer a severe leg injury, as he had to be carted off the field, but early X-rays have come back negative. That's good news for the Giants and the 2022 fifth-rounder, but he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and whether he has a chance to play against the Cowboys in Week 2.

  • Won't return Sunday

    McFadden (lower leg) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden had to be carted off the field after injuring his leg while tackling Austin Ekeler in the first quarter, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. With McFadden done for the day, Darius Muasau and Chris Board are the top candidates to work with the first-team defense at inside linebacker alongside Bobby Okereke.

  • Healthy to begin OTAs

    McFadden (neck) has been practicing with the Giants' first-team defense in OTAs, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McFadden missed the final two games of the 2024 season, but the starting linebacker has returned to full health to begin offseason team activities. In addition to featuring in the base defense, McFadden was part of the Giants' dime package in practice. He has exceeded 100 tackles in each of the past two seasons.

  • Out for Week 18 finale

    McFadden (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden will miss his second straight game to close out the season, so Darius Muasau and Ty Summers should again see the majority of the linebacker snaps against Philadelphia. McFadden's season comes to a close having recorded a career-best 107 tackles (60 solo), including eight TFLs and 3.0 sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 games, all starts. The 25-year-old linebacker has one year remaining on his rookie deal in 2025.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    McFadden (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: McFadden was sidelined for the Giants' Week 17 win over the Colts due to a neck injury sustained the week prior, and Wednesday's DNP likely suggests he's in jeopardy of missing additional time. The Indiana product almost certainly needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in the Week 18 divisional matchup against the Eagles.

  • Won't play Sunday

    McFadden (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: McFadden missed the second half of last Sunday's loss to the Falcons with the neck injury and will now be sidelined for Week 17. Ty Summers replaced McFadden against Atlanta and would seem to be next in line for linebacker snaps. The Giants are already without fellow starting inside linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) for the remainder of the season.

  • Dealing with neck injury

    McFadden was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a neck issue, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden didn't play in the second half of this past Sunday's loss to Atlanta due to the neck issue, and it appears the injury is still bothering him. The third-year linebacker's likelihood of suiting up Sunday versus Indianapolis should be clearer as the practice week progresses. Ty Summers saw his first significant defensive workload of the campaign following McFadden's exit against the Falcons, and he'd likely be in line to start if McFadden misses Week 17.

  • Notches double-digit stops again

    McFadden totaled 11 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 35-14 Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: McFadden finished second on New York in tackles behind Dane Belton (15). It was the second straight game in which McFadden tallied exactly 11 tackles, and he's now logged that specific total in four of his past six games. That makes him a viable fantasy asset for managers in IDP leagues.

  • Paces team in stops Week 14

    McFadden tallied 11 tackles (eight solo), including five for loss, in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: McFadden practically lived in New Orleans' backfield Sunday, as nearly half of his 11 tackles went for a loss. The linebacker logged exactly 11 stops for the third time in his past five contests, and he's now totaled double-digit stops four times overall on the campaign. That gives him a solid IDP ceiling, though it's worth noting that McFadden also have five or fewer tackles four times through 12 contests this season.

    McFadden tallied 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: McFadden recorded his third double-digit tackle total of the season and his second over his past three games. The linebacker's 11 stops were second on New York on Sunday behind only rookie Tyler Nubin's 12. McFadden dealt with a heel injury at the end of the week and entered Sunday deemed questionable to suit up, but he appeared to be fine and was active on defense for the Giants.

    Analysis: McFadden needed to be carted off the field, but it appears the injury won't derail his season. With more than two weeks until the Giants kick off their 2024 campaign against the Vikings on Sept. 8, the Indiana product may not miss any regular-season time.

  • Slated for big role in 2024

    McFadden is listed as a starter at inside linebacker on the Giants' initial unofficial depth chart, per Dan Salomone of the team's official site.

    Analysis: After making seven starts over 17 regular-season games in his rookie campaign, McFadden started 14 of his 16 contests last season. However, the two games in which he didn't start came late in the campaign (Week 16 and 17), with Isaiah Simmons taking his place in the lineup for those matchups. Simmons is undergoing a position change, though, as he's listed as a nickel corner on New York's initial depth chart.

The 2022 fifth-round draft pick ranked third on the Giants in stops and tied for the team lead with 12 tackles for loss.

    Analysis: McFadden finished second on the Giants in tackles behind Bobby Okereke, who racked up 11. The linebacker duo also combined for a pair of turnovers -- Okereke punched the ball away from Gabe Davis and into the arms of McFadden in the first quarter, then batted a Josh Allen pass that McFadden corralled for an interception in the second. McFadden played 79 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest after missing Week 5 versus Miami due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: McFadden has been dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out Week 5 versus Miami and led to him being deemed questionable entering this weekend.

    McFadden made 10 tackles (nine solo), including four for loss, in a Week 3 loss to the 49ers on Thursday.

    Analysis: McFadden shined in the nationally televised game, leading New York in tackles and stopping a San Francisco ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage on four different occasions. The linebacker didn't appear to show any ill effects from a neck injury that troubled him early in the week.

The second-year pro played 75 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of the first two games, so it's not clear when he may have picked up the injury. With Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) already ruled out for the game, if McFadden is also unable to suit up, it'd be a blow to the team's linebacker corps.

There wasn't much the team's defense could do to prevent a blowout, though McFadden was able to put together a strong individual stat line with a team-leading 11 stops.

The versatile Simmons was brought in through a trade with the Cardinals on Thursday and is slated to also play linebacker, but Duggan expects McFadden to remain the starter in the base defense while Simmons likely works in sub-packages.

    Analysis: While McFadden played in every game for the Giants this season, there was a three-game stretch between Weeks 5 and 7 during which he logged a combined four defensive snaps. However, the rookie out of Indiana subsequently displaced Tae Crowder as a starter and played at least 40 percent of New York's defensive snaps in every contest from Week 8 onward.

    Analysis: Crowder is being benched, paving the way for McFadden to step into a starting role. The rookie fifth-round pick has totaled 14 tackles (10 solo) and one sack across 104 defensive snaps, but he'll likely have increased production as a starter.

  • Candidate for starting role

    McFadden could take over as a starter at inside linebacker in the wake of Blake Martinez's release, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Martinez was initially expected to play a three-down role for New York's defense this season, but the Giants will need to look for a replacement after they surprisingly released him Thursday. McFadden, who was a fifth-round pick in this year's draft, could slide in as a starter following a strong preseason. Even if he doesn't start, McFadden's role will almost certainly be boosted as a result of Martinez's departure.
