COR'DALE FLOTT NEWS

No longer dealing with concussion Flott has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott suffered a concussion in Week 8 versus Philadelphia and didn't play this past Sunday versus San Francisco. However, he logged a full practice Thursday following Wednesday's limited session and is now officially through concussion protocol. Flott should thus be able to return to action Sunday against Chicago.

Logs full practice Flott (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott is still awaiting official clearance from the concussion protocol, but practicing in full represents a significant step in the right direction. If he gains full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, Flott will handle his usual starting role at cornerback during Sunday's road matchup against the Bears.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Wednesday Flott (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott was held out of practice during Week 9 prep due to a concussion he sustained in Week 8 against the Eagles. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday as a non-contact participant, an indication that he is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocol. Flott will need to pass an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play Sunday against the Bears.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 9 Flott (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact With Flott joining Paulson Adebo (knee) on the sidelines this week, Korie Black should once again see increased playing time at cornerback alongside Deonte Banks and Dru Phillips.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to practice Wednesday Flott (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott sustained a concussion during Sunday's game at Philadelphia, and now he's sitting out practice as the Giants begin preparations for Week 9. He'll probably need to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up Sunday versus the 49ers.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Enters concussion protocol Flott (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott went to the locker room late in the first half after taking a hit to the head, and he has entered the league's concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff. Deonte Banks and Korie Black will serve as the Giants' outside corners the rest of the way.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Possible concussion Flott is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Flott took a hit to the head late in the second quarter, and he'll be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Paulson Adebo (knee) inactive, Deonte Banks and Korie Black will see extended work at outside corner for as long as Flott is sidelined.

Is Jaxson Dart or Jameis Winston the Giants' Week 1 backup QB? Coach Brian Daboll isn't saying

Will rookie Jaxson Dart or veteran Jameis Winston be the New York Giants' Week 1 backup quarterback

SEPTEMBER 1 • Associated Press

Plays in preseason win Flott (undisclosed) recorded a pass deflection during the Giants' preseason win over the Jets on Saturday.

Impact Flott had missed some time in practice with an undisclosed injury but is now healthy again. He is competing with Deonte banks to serve as one of the team's starting outside cornerbacks opposite Paulson Adebo.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Saturday Flott did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to an undisclosed injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The type and severity of Flott's injury isn't clear, but it has kept him out of practice for the past two days. Reps with the first-team defense are important for Flott, who is competing against Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo for the starting outside corner job. Flott will look to get back on the practice field and be available for the Giants' preseason opener against the Bills on Saturday, Aug. 9.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

Competing for starting role Flott and Deonte Banks are in a training-camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Flott (10 starts) and Banks (14 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the Giants brought in Paulson Adebo during the offseason to be their top corner. Flott (53 stops, seven defensed passes) and Banks (52 tackles, 12 pass defenses) put up similar numbers in 2024, though they had just one interception between them as New York's secondary as a whole struggled to collect turnovers. Per Duggan, Flott and Banks have been alternating turns in the rotation during camp, so it appears this will be a genuine position battle throughout the preseason.

JULY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Has career-best season in 2024 Flott posted 53 tackles (36 solo) and seven pass defenses, including one interception, in 14 games (10 starts) during the 2024 campaign.

Impact Flott registered the highest numbers of his career in multiple categories, including tackles and defensed passes. Uncoincidentally, he also played the most defensive snaps (637) of his three-year professional career. Flott did give way as a starter to Adoree' Jackson for two games late in the season, but Flott was still on the field for about half of New York's defensive snaps during those contests. Jackson will be a free agent at the conclusion of the season and is unlikely to return to New York, giving Flott -- who will be in the final year of his rookie contract -- a good chance of handling a starting role again next year unless the Giants decide to upgrade at the cornerback position.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs interception in return Flott registered three tackles (all solo) and an interception in Sunday's 34-7 Week 16 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Flott returned from a two-game absence that was caused by a quadriceps injury. He recorded his first interception of the campaign just before halftime, picking off a Michael Penix pass in the end zone after the ball was tipped by Kyle Pitts. Flott played 61 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest as the team elected to deploy a rotation at cornerback that included Deonte Banks and Adoree' Jackson in addition to Flott, while Dru Phillips missed just two snaps from the slot.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Sunday Flott (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Flott will return from a two-game absence and give the Giants' secondary a boost ahead of a matchup with rookie QB Michael Penix and WRs Drake London and Darnell Mooney. Through 11 appearances this season, Flott has 45 tackles (30 solo) and six pass breakups.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Flott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Impact The third-year corner from LSU was sidelined for the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens due to a quadriceps injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be a step toward returning to the field. Flott's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely serve as the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Week 16, when the Giants face the Falcons.

Impact The third-year corner from LSU was sidelined for the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens due to a quadriceps injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be a step toward returning to the field. Flott's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely serve as the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Week 16, when the Giants face the Falcons.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Week 15 Flott (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's battle against Baltimore, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott was active despite the quad injury last Sunday against the Saints, but he didn't end up seeing the field. The third-year cornerback continues to be bothered by the issue and won't suit up versus the Ravens. Deonte Banks (ribs) is also inactive Sunday, so Adoree' Jackson and Art Green will likely handle cornerback duties against Baltimore.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to face Baltimore Flott (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott missed last week's loss to the Saints and appears likely to be absent for Week 15. Top CB Deonte' Banks (ribs) is questionable after a two-game absence. If neither can play, the Giants will likely again roll with Adoree' Jackson, Tre Hawkins and Greg Stroman at cornerback.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still nursing quadriceps injury Flott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Flott was able to play through quadricep and knee injuries in Sunday's loss to the Saints, recording five total tackles and two passes defended over 67 defensive snaps. His limited practice session Wednesday is likely precautionary; however, he could be in jeopardy of missing the Giants' Week 15 game against the Ravens if his injuries worsened in Week 14.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will suit up against Saints Flott (quadriceps/knee) is active for Sunday's Week 14 tilt against New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott was a late addition to New York's injury report when he was deemed questionable Saturday, but he'll be able to take the field against the Saints. The third-year cornerback will fill his usual starting role, and he'll be paired with Adoree' Jackson since Deonte Banks (ribs) is missing another game. Flott has logged at least 90 percent of New York's defensive snaps in each of his past two contests.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Flott (quadriceps/knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Saints, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Impact Flott wasn't listed on the injury report for any of the Giants' three practices this past week, but he is now dealing with knee and quadriceps injury that put his status for Sunday's game into question. His official status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Giants announce their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With Deonte Banks (rib) already out and Flott potentially sidelined as well, the Giants would turn to Art Green and Adoree' Jackson to serve as the starting outside cornerbacks.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Past groin issue Flott (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Impact Flott logged a week of limited practice sessions after missing the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers due to a groin issue. Expect the third-year pro to serve as the Giants' No. 3 outside cornerback behind both Deonte Banks and Nick McCloud in Week 9 now that he's returned to full health.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opens week limited Flott (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Flott suffered a groin injury in Week 7 against the Eagles, which was severe enough for him to be ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Steelers. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his practice participation this week ahead of Sunday's NFC East clash against the Commanders. Across seven regular-season outings, Flott has logged 30 tackles (20 solo) and three pass breakups.

OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No go for MNF Flott (groin) is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Flott was able to log two limited practice sessions late in the week, but he'll ultimately be forced to sit as a result of a groin injury. In his absence, Tre Hawkins will step into a more significant role in New York's secondary.
