Placed on injured reserve
The Giants placed Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) on injured reserve Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton will miss the entire 2025 season after tearing his Achilles during Sunday's practice, and he'll focus on being fully healthy for the 2026 campaign. He played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and mostly served on special teams, so his absence gives players like Zach Pascal and Ihmir Smith-Marsette a better shot at making the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Ford-Wheaton suffered a torn Achilles during the Giants' practice Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Suffers leg injury
Ford-Wheaton suffered a leg injury during the Giants' practice Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton reportedly went down on a non-contact injury during an offensive drill and eventually had to be carted off the field. If the 2023 undrafted free agent ends up being forced to miss an extended period of time, the team could be without one of their top special-teams contributors for a portion of the regular season.

Playing in Week 18
Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old wideout began the Giants' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions due to a shoulder injury sustained in early December. Ford-Wheaton then upgraded to full participation Friday, suggesting he's recovered from the issue enough to suit up in Week 18. The West Virginia product has played almost strictly on special teams this season and is expected to reprise that role in Sunday's divisional matchup.

Limited in Thursday's practice
Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton has been limited in the first two practices of the week due to a shoulder injury that he played through in the Giants' Week 17 win over the Colts. He would likely avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Eagles if he were to fully participate in Friday's practice. Ford-Wheaton has been mostly limited to special teams across 13 regular-season games.

Logs limited session Wednesday
Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old played through a shoulder injury in the Giants' Week 17 win over the Colts, and Wednesday's limited practice session suggests he's still nursing the issue. Ford-Wheaton's participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can suit up in Week 18, when the Giants travel to Philadelphia.

Limited at practice
Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) was a limited participant at the Giants' practice Thursday.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton appears to be dealing with a shoulder injury to open the week, limiting his ability to fully participate at the team's practice. The wide receiver will look to increase his participation at Friday's final practice of the week ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.

Questionable for Sunday
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton has missed each of the Giants' last two games due to an Achilles injury; however, he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has a chance to suit up Sunday. The Giants will be without a key special-teamer (143 special-teams snaps) if Ford-Wheaton is forced to miss his third consecutive game in Week 12.

Limited Wednesday
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton has been sidelined for each of the Giants' last two games, and Wednesday's limited session suggests that the team's Week 11 bye wasn't enough time for him to recover from his Achilles issue. The 24-year-old's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can return for the Giants' Week 12 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton was inactive for last Sunday's loss to the Commanders with the same injury, and he's now been listed as DNP in back-to-back days to start this practice week. He's played just two offensive snaps this season but is a fixture on special teams for New York.

Won't practice Wednesday
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton tried to play through his Achilles issue in Week 8 but was unable to finish the game, and then he sat out entirely in Week 9. Now his status for Week 10 is in jeopardy, and he'll likely need to practice to some extent Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday.

Inactive for Week 9
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: As expected, Ford-Wheaton will be in street clothes after drawing a doubtful tag. He played through the Achilles issue during the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, but he may have suffered a setback, as he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday of Week 9 prep. Ford-Wheaton's absence shouldn't impact the Giants' offense, as he's played only two offensive snaps in seven appearances, but he is one of the team's top special-teams players.

Doubtful for Sunday
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton was able to play through his Achilles issue in the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, but he was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, suggesting that his injury may have worsened. If Ford-Wheaton can't play in Week 9 as expected, the Giants will be without one of their top special-teams aces.

Still nursing injury
Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Ford-Wheaton played through his Achilles injury in the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, failing to record a stat across 23 special-teams snaps. Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary, however, if he can't upgrade to at least limited work Thursday or Friday, he could be in jeopardy of missing the Giants' Week 9 matchup against the Commanders.

Analysis: Ford-Wheaton was able to play through a shoulder injury during the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles, during which he played 30 snaps on special teams and one on offense. He appears to have picked up an Achilles injury during the loss, however, and his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his ability to play Monday against the Steelers.

Ruled out for SNF
Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

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.
