Giants’ Devin Singletary, Jamie Gillan, Bryce Ford-Wheaton ruled out vs. Bengals

Must read

The Giants announced that running back Devin Singletary, punter Jamie Gillan and wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton have been ruled out for Sunday night’s contest against the Cincinnati Bengals.

New York will also be without star rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) for the second consecutive game.

Singletary, who signed a three-year, $16.5 million deal in the offseason following Saquon Barkley‘s departure, will now miss his second straight game with a groin injury.

The 27-year-old had been the Giants’ lead back prior to getting injured and had 56 carries for 221 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in 10 of 11 passes. In his absence, fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy will be the starter on Sunday.

Tracy ran all over the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 5 win, rushing for 129 yards on 18 carries.

Without their starting punter who is out with a hamstring injury, the Giants signed veteran Matt Haack on Saturday.

Haack, 30, beat out five other punters in a workout on Friday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported. Sunday’s game will be his 100th career game in the NFL and mark his eighth season in the league.

The Arizona State product spent the first four years of his career with the Miami Dolphins from 2017-2020 and started all 16 games each season. Haack then played 17 games for the Buffalo Bills in 2021 and another 17 games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2022. He played one game for the Cleveland Browns last year, but has not been on a roster in 2024 until now.

Haack owns a career average of 44.5 yards per punt with 37 percent of his punts being downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

Gillan has been with the Giants since 2022, starting all five games this year and 17 games in each of the last two seasons. Through five games, he’s averaging 47.8 yards per punt with a long of 67 yards.
