Bryce Ford-Wheaton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Cam Skattebo remains out of Giants training camp as New York's injuries on offense pile up

While there is still a month to go before the regular season begins, injuries are starting to pile up on offense for the New York Giants

AUGUST 4 • Associated Press

Placed on injured reserve The Giants placed Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) on injured reserve Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton will miss the entire 2025 season after tearing his Achilles during Sunday's practice, and he'll focus on being fully healthy for the 2026 campaign. He played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and mostly served on special teams, so his absence gives players like Zach Pascal and Ihmir Smith-Marsette a better shot at making the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Impact Ford-Wheaton has been limited in the first two practices of the week due to a shoulder injury that he played through in the Giants' Week 17 win over the Colts. He would avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Eagles if he were to fully participate in Friday's practice.

Active Sunday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The depth wide receiver and special-teamer missed the Giants' last two games with the injury but was able to practice on a limited basis in the week leading up to this game. Ford-Wheaton has played on two offensive snaps and 143 special-teams snaps in 2024. He has yet to catch a pass this season.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton has missed each of the Giants' last two games due to an Achilles injury; however, he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has a chance to suit up Sunday. The Giants will be without a key special-teamer (143 special-teams snaps) if Ford-Wheaton is forced to miss his third consecutive game in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton has been sidelined for each of the Giants' last two games, and Wednesday's limited session suggests that the team's Week 11 bye wasn't enough time for him to recover from his Achilles issue. The 24-year-old's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can return for the Giants' Week 12 matchup against the Buccaneers.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out versus Carolina Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't practice Wednesday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton tried to play through his Achilles issue in Week 8 but was unable to finish the game, and then he sat out entirely in Week 9. Now his status for Week 10 is in jeopardy, and he'll likely need to practice to some extent Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 9 Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Ford-Wheaton will be in street clothes after drawing a doubtful tag. He played through the Achilles issue during the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, but he may have suffered a setback, as he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday of Week 9 prep. Ford-Wheaton's absence shouldn't impact the Giants' offense, as he's played only two offensive snaps in seven appearances, but he is one of the team's top special-teams players.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Sunday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton was able to play through his Achilles issue in the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, but he was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, suggesting that his injury may have worsened. If Ford-Wheaton can't play in Week 9 as expected, the Giants will be without one of their top special-teams aces.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still nursing injury Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton played through his Achilles injury in the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, failing to record a stat across 23 special-teams snaps. Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary; however, if he can't upgrade to at least limited work Thursday or Friday, he could be in jeopardy of missing the Giants' Week 9 matchup against the Commanders.

OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Full go Friday Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton upgraded from limited work Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his Achilles injury. Now that the West Virginia product has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Giants' top special-teams aces in Week 8.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Now dealing with Achilles injury Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton was able to play through a shoulder injury during the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles, during which he played 30 snaps on special teams and one on offense. He appears to have picked up an Achilles injury during the loss, however, and his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his ability to play Monday against the Steelers.

OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Past shoulder issue Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
