Cornerback Nick McCloud (knee) and rookie inside linebacker Darius Muasau (knee), who both started for the Giants in Week 1, were ruled out on Friday’s final injury report, as was wide receiver/return specialist Gunner Olszewski, who aggravated a groin injury in pregame warmups last week.
The Giants then placed Olszewski on injured reserve while activating linebackers Tomon Fox and Ty Summers from the practice squad (standard elevation).
Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice but participated fully on Friday.
The Giants on Saturday also added kicker Graham Gano (groin) to the injury report with no game status, meaning he will kick against Washington.
Outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen, who underwent surgery this week for a fractured leg, did not accompany the Giants for Sunday’s game. His role on the sideline will be assumed by defensive assistant Ben Burress.
The Commanders, meanwhile, listed three players as questionable heading into Sunday: defensive tackle Jer’Zhan Newton (foot), cornerback Quan Martin (hamstring), and defensive end Clelin Ferrell (knee).
