Giants sign 2 offensive linemen; Joshua Ezeudu to IR The Giants lost another offensive lineman but made a pair of roster moves to address the manpower shortage on their injury-ravaged line.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • GIANTS.COM

Placed on IR Ezeudu (toe) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Ezeudu was carted off the field Sunday versus the Bills, but it's unclear if he'll miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign with a toe injury. The 24-year-old had been filling in for Andrew Thomas (hamstring) at left tackle before going down, and he was replaced by veteran Justin Pugh after he exited the game.

Is Joshua Ezeudu the Giants' Future Starting Left Guard? Will Joshua Ezeudu show enough improvement to earn the starting left guard position on the Giants offensive line?

Recovering from surgery Ezeudu recently underwent shoulder surgery and expects to be ready for the start of training camp, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Ezeudu was sidelined for the Giants' final nine games of the 2022 campaign as a result of a neck injury, and it's since been revealed that the 308-pounder also was dealing with some sort of shoulder issue given the recent procedure he underwent. He's nonetheless in line to be healthy by late July, when he'll compete for one of the starting spots on New York's offensive line.

Giants Rookie Joshua Ezeudu's Neck Issue "Long Term" Ezeudu was recently placed on injured reserve, but his injury is not thought to be career-threatening.

DECEMBER 22, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM

Dealing with long-term injury Ezeudu (neck) is expected to be out for the foreseeable future, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact After Ezeudu was placed on injured reserve Saturday with the neck injury that has plagued him for more than a month, head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that his injury is a long-term one, though it's not expected to be a career-threatening one. It seems like the 23-year-old is done for the year, and in his absence, Ben Bredeson will continue to operate as the starting left guard moving forward.

Lands on IR The Giants placed Ezeudu (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Ezeudu was slated to miss a fourth straight game Sunday due to a neck injury, but he'll now be sidelined for the final four games of the regular season as well. Shane Lemieux (toe) has been ruled out for Week 15, so Nick Gates figures to step up as the Giants' starting right guard while Ezeudu and Lemieux are unavailable.

Will miss fourth consecutive game Ezeudu (neck) is out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ezeudu will miss his fourth consecutive game and failed to practice in any capacity throughout the week. Shane Lemieux (toe) is also sidelined, leaving Nick Gates as the likely starter at right guard.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Ezeudu (neck) won't play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ezeudu is now slated to miss his third consecutive matchup as a result of the neck injury he sustained back in Week 11 versus Detroit. With Shane Lemieux (toe) also in line to watch from the sidelines Sunday, Nick Gates appears like he'll draw another start at left guard for the Giants.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Ezeudu (neck) has been ruled out for the Giants' Week 13 game against the Commanders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Ezeudu's absence will mark his second straight due to a neck injury. It is unsurprising, as he was a non-participant at practice all week. His next chance to return will come Week 14 versus the Eagles.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Ezeudu (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ezeudu wasn't able to practice during Week 12 prep due to a neck injury he presumably picked up a week prior, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Starting left guard Shane Lemieux (toe) and Jon Feliciano (neck) are also out, so the interior of New York's offensive line will be extremely shorthanded during a tough matchup against Dallas' stout defensive front.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Ezeudu (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's preseason game versus the Bengals, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ezeudu participated in the Giants' first exhibition contest last Thursday against New England, but he's reportedly banged up and won't play Sunday. The rookie is among a glut of offensive linemen who are nursing injuries and will be unavailable to play in New York's second game of the preseason.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Getting reps at left tackle Ezeudu has been working with the first-team offense at left tackle with Andrew Thomas (ankle) limited during OTAs this week, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ezeudu worked at left guard last week and seems most likely to play there if Thomas is healthy in time for the start of the regular season. However, Ezeudu played at both guard and tackle during his collegiate career at North Carolina, so he's a versatile option if the Giants' other offensive linemen deal with injuries.

Links up with Big Blue The Giants selected Ezeudu in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 67th overall.

Impact Ezeudu played everywhere but center during his time at North Carolina and projects as a guard for the Giants with Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal set to serve as bookends. The Tar Heel has good anchor at 308 pounds and should challenge for playing time at either guard spot in New York.
