INJURIES
No limitations at practice Thursday Hood (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Impact Hood wasn't able to practice at full speed Wednesday due to the concussion that knocked him out of the Giants' game versus the Saints in Week 6 early, but it didn't hold him back Thursday. He'll still have to clear league concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up in Week 7 at Houston, so there's no guarantee yet that he'll be available come Sunday.

Impact Hood has not cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to suit up for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Hood suffered a concussion during Sunday's 27-27 overtime tie against the Commanders, and he'll have to clear concussion protocol in order to be available for Week 6. If he is unavailable for the team's contest versus New Orleans, Nic Jones could stand to operate as one of New York's starting cornerbacks.

He figures to operate in a rotational role in the secondary, with most of his reps coming on special teams.
