Three Giants starters: left tackle Ereck Flowers, wide receiver Dwayne Harris, and linebacker JT Thomas are all listed as questionable but many signs are pointing them to starting against the Panthers.

Flowers injured his ankle against the Jets two weeks ago but started on Monday night vs the Dolphins, but left in the final quarter of play. He was limited in practice on Thursday, but told reporters that he will play on Sunday.

Dwayne Harris has become a vital part of the New York Giants this season. His play on special teams has game-changing abilities and he has become an X-factor as New York’s third receiver. He did not practice on Thursday due to a shoulder injury  and, as mentioned before, is listed as questionable.

DE George Selvie (concussion), DT Markus Kuhn (knee) and LB Devon Kennard (foot/hamstring) failed to practice Thursday and haven’t practiced at all this week.

For the Panthers, the big injury has to be running back Jonathan Stewart, the league’s third leading rusher. He’s out against the Giants due to a sprained left foot suffered against the Atlanta Falcons last week. On the year, Stewart has 989 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
