Giants' Bobby Okereke: Questionable for Sunday
Okereke (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
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.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Another DNP on Thursday
Okereke (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salamone of the Giants' official site reports.
Okereke has now missed consecutive practices this week with a shoulder injury, and he will likely need to participate in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Packers. 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 start in his stead.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Steady again Sunday
Okereke notched eight tackles (four solo) Sunday in a Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.
Though New York fell to 0-3 with the loss, the team's defense fared pretty well against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City. Okereke led the way with a team-high eight tackles, yet it was the first time this season the veteran linebacker has failed to reach double-digit stops. That speaks to how prolific he can be in terms of racking up tackles -- he has 34 through three games, ranking first in the NFL with one Week 3 game left to play Monday night.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Racks up double-digit stops again
Okereke finished with 10 tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 2 overtime loss to the Cowboys.
Okereke was one of three Giants to notch double-digit tackles, joining Paulson Adebo (13) and Dru Phillips (11). Okereke has been massively productive to begin the campaign, accruing 26 stops through two weeks. Heading into the Monday night slate, that total leads the NFL by one over Roquan Smith.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Racks up 16 stops in opener
Okereke recorded 16 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Washington.
Okereke's 16 tackles were more than any other player in Week 1 (pending Monday night's game). The hefty total also marked the second-highest tally of his career (he had 17 stops in a contest November 19, 2023). Okereke was limited to 12 games last season and snapped a three-year streak of reaching triple-digit tackles, but he's off to a fast start in his quest to reach that mark again in 2025.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Healthy again
Okereke (back) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs this week, John Schmeelk of the team's official website reports.
Okereke missed the final five games of the regular season last year and underwent surgery to repair a herniated disc. He was given a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks and appears to be healthy enough to put in some work at the Giants' padless OTAs. Across 12 regular-season contests last season, Okereke recorded 93 tackles (47 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Okereke should remain a tackles machine in 2025.
