Slated to suit up Sunday Okereke (shoulder) is active for Sunday's Week 11 battle against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Okereke hurt his shoulder against Chicago last Sunday and logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week. The limited session Friday will be enough for the veteran linebacker to avoid missing his first game of the campaign. Okereke has played every defensive snap for the Giants over the past seven weeks and will look to keep that streak alive Sunday against Green Bay.

Questionable for Sunday Okereke (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Impact Okereke upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up for the Week 11 contest. The veteran linebacker is an integral part of the Giants' defense, recording 88 total tackles (eighth-most in the NFL), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended across 10 games this season. If he's unable to play Sunday, Neville Hewitt could have an expanded role on New York's defense.

Another DNP on Thursday Okereke (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salamone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Okereke has now missed a second consecutive practice this week with a shoulder injury, and will need to log a session in some capacity Friday if he wants a chance to suit up for Sunday's game. The starting linebacker played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears, logging six tackles (one solo) in the losing effort. If Okereke is unable to play Sunday, Neville Hewitt (foot) or Zaire Barnes will likely get the start.
