Monday Night Football: Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari will be playing; Michael Gallup remains inactive

The Giants listed Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Objulari as questionable for Monday Night Football versus the Cowboys. Both will play.

Thibodeaux, No. Thibodeaux, the No. 5 overall selection, will make it to the NFL, while Ojulari will debut in 2022.

The Giants made only one decision among seven inactive. Linebacker Tomonfox was the only healthy scratch. Another inactive include receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, cornerback Aaron Robinson and cornerback Justin Layne (appendix), cornerback Nick McCloud (hamstring), receiver KadariusToney (hamstring), and defensive lineman Leonard Williams.

The Cowboys will not have tight end Dalton Schultz with a PCL strain or receiver Michael Gallup attempting to recover from a torn anterior ligament in a game against the Cardinals on Jan. 2.

The Cowboys will be using linebacker Micah Parsons. Parsons was limited in Saturday’s practice because he had missed Thursday and Friday due to illness. He was listed as questionable by the team.

Other inactives on the team are quarterback Dak Prescott (right thumb), cornerback Nahshon Wight and safety Jayron Kearse.

JalenTolbert, a rookie receiver, will make his regular-season debut.

 

Fantasy Impact:

Ojulari’s rookie season was a success, with 27 pressures, 8 sacks, and 8 tackles for loss. Ojulari’s return and that of Kayvon Thibodeaux provide a huge boost to the Giant’s pass rush. Leonard Williams will be missed, although Thibodeaux and Ojulari are healthy. However, the dream D-Line setup is still a long way off. Ojulari can be used as a DL2 option for a regular number of snaps but is more DL3 in his first game this season.
