Thibodeaux, who has a shoulder injury has been ruled out against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Giants backup cornerback <strong>Nic Jones<\/strong> is done for the season. He will have shoulder surgery. That was first reported by Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Jones has been a key special teams contributor, and his injury is one reason why the Giants on Thursday claimed <strong>Ryan Miller<\/strong> on waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Miller, a 6-foot-2, 221-pound wide receiver, had been a core special teams player for Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Interim head coach <strong>Mike Kafka<\/strong> said on Friday that wide receiver\/kick returner<strong> Gunner Olszewski<\/strong> had progressed to the next step of the concussion protocol, and could clear in time to play Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Punter <strong>Jamie Gillan<\/strong> will not kick on Friday, but the Giants were not yet ready to rule him out on Friday morning. Still, it seems likely that veteran punter <strong>Cameron Johnston<\/strong>, signed to the practice squad this week, will be punting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Defensive tackle <strong>Dexter Lawrence<\/strong>, questionable with a hamstring injury, was a new addition to the injury report.<\/p>\n<p>Giants-Commanders final injury report<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">WR Beaux Collins | Neck\/Concussion<br \/>OLB Victor Dimukeje | Knee<br \/>CB Nic Jones | Shoulder<br \/>DL Rakeem Nu\u00f1ez-Roches Sr. | Ankle<br \/>OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux | Shoulder<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Collins just had his 21-day practice window opened this week.
