New York Giants To Be Without 3 Starters vs Los Angeles Rams
The New York Giants will be without three regulars against the Los Angeles Rams, but look like they will have Odell Beckham Jr. on the field.
The New York Giants picked up the victory last week against the Baltimore Ravens. They will look to continue that momentum over the pond, as they take on the Los Angeles Rams in London. The Giants are dealing with some injuries, as they will be missing at least three starters in Week 7.
The Giants will once again be shorthanded in the defensive backfield. Safties Nat Berhe and Darian Thompson have both already been ruled out. Joining them in street clothes Sunday will be right tackle Marshall Newhouse.
Meanwhile, the Giants' injury report from London: S Nat Berhe, RT Marshall Newhouse and S Darian Thompson are OUT for Sunday.

Thompson has been battling a foot injury since Week 2 of the season and is going to miss his fifth consecutive game. With Berhe and Thompson both out, the Giants will continue using Andrew Adams next to Landon Collins.Newhouse is dealing with a calf injury, and will also miss his fifth consecutive game. In his place, Bobby Hart should start once again at right tackle.

The Giants have received mostly positive news for the other players that were injured on the roster. Long snapper Zak DeOssie is questionable but looks like he will play. The Giants signed long snapper Tyler Ott to their practice squad, but he didn’t make the 53-man roster.
Cornerback Eli Apple, running back Rashad Jennings, linebacker Keenan Robinson, defensive end Olivier Vernon, and wider receiver Odell Beckham Jr. are all probable to play according to Ralph Vacchiano.

Oh, and Giants WR Odell Beckham (hip) is listed as probable, too.

That is good news for the Giants, who could really use another win this week. The Rams and Giants are two of the five teams with three wins currently in the NFC that look like they will be fighting for a Wild Card spot. Add in the fact that the NFC East is stronger than people expected, and the Giants cannot afford to fall further behind; despite being at the .500 mark, the Giants are last in their division.
