A look at the Giants’ Week 10 injury situation

Jason Pinnock’s status for Sunday’s game in Munich, Germany against the Carolina Panthers is a concern for the New York Giants. Pinnock, a starting safety, was on Thursday’s injury report with an abdominal issue. Head coach Brian Daboll said the Giants would see what Pinnock is able to do in practice on Friday.

If Pinnock is unable to play, Dane Belton would likely replace him. Anthony Johnson could also see playing time.

Left tackle Chris Hubbard, who missed Thursday’s practice due to illness, made the trip to Munich with the team. Daboll indicated that Hubbard should be ready to play.

There is also optimism that both of the Giants regular kickers, placekicker Graham Gano and punter Jamie Gillan, will be able to play.

Gano has been on IR since suffering a right hamstring injury on the opening kickoff Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Gillan, a left-footed punter, has missed the last four games with a left hamstring injury.

A roster move would have to made to activate Gano.

Wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) has already been ruled out.

— Official game status reports will be updated post-practice.
