Adoree’ Jackson and Leonard Williams are two big names on that list, and both are listed despite signs that they’ll be able to play on Sunday.
Since Week 11, Jackson, one of New York’s best cornerbacks, has been sidelined with a knee injury. Williams and Dexter Lawrence form one of the most dreaded interior defensive line combos in the NFL.

- C Garrett Bradbury (back) – limited
- S Harrison Smith (knee) – limited
- LB Brian Asamoah (knee) – limited
- CB Cam Dantzler (ankle/personal matter – did not practice
Bradbury, the starting center for the Vikings, has been out for the past five games due to a back injury he sustained in a car accident on November 17. This occurred just days after the Vikings completed the greatest comeback in NFL history, defeating the Colts by a score of 34–31.
Kevin O’Connell, the head coach, said of Bradbury: “He’ll practice today in a limited capacity and then we’ll just see how he feels after. I know he’s been feeling really good, it’s been positive reports and kind of the mindset of trying to go this week. But as I’ve said with multiple other injuries this year, we won’t put Garrett in a position unless we think he can succeed and be healthy doing so, so it’ll be something we work through throughout the week.”
Smith was benched for the Bears game in Week 18 as a precaution, but he should be good to go for the Giants game in Week 19.
