Giants vs Commanders injury

Ahead of their Week 9 matchup, the Washington Commanders have ruled out offensive lineman Cornelius Lucas due to an ankle injury, while running back Brian Robinson Jr. is questionable with hamstring issues. Rookie left tackle Brandon Coleman will make his full-time starting debut in Lucas' absence, and linebacker Frankie Luvu is expected to play despite a shin injury. Conversely, for the New York Giants, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy has cleared concussion protocol and will play, but kicker Greg Joseph has been ruled out due to an oblique injury, leaving rookie Jude McAtamney to kick. Tracy has been a standout performer, leading the Giants' rushing attack this season. The Giants face ongoing challenges in their kicking game, having already dealt with injuries to their specialists earlier in the season. Both teams' performances may hinge on how well they adapt to these injury-induced changes.
