Jermaine Eluemunor’s calf issue headlines list of Giants’ Week 5 injuries

New York Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor left Sunday’s 27-27 tie against the Washington Commanders after sustaining a calf injury during the game, requiring an MRI on Monday to assess the extent of the damage. The veteran offensive lineman had played 44 snaps before being helped off the field by teammates Aaron Stinnie and John Michael Schmitz, with Marcus Mbow stepping in to cover the remaining 45 snaps at right tackle.

If Eluemunor’s recovery takes time, rookie J.C. Davis—who has remained inactive for all five games this season—could be called upon to fill the swing tackle role, though he has yet to see action this year.

Meanwhile, cornerback Colton Hood suffered a concussion late in the third quarter after a hard hit on a kickoff return, with his availability for Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints hinging on his progress through the league’s concussion protocol. Safety Devin Nubin also exited the game in the fourth quarter after a neck injury sustained during a tackle attempt, adding to the Giants’ defensive depth concerns heading into Week 5.
