News

  • Out for Week 18 finale

    McFadden (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden will miss his second straight game to close out the season, so Darius Muasau and Ty Summers should again see the majority of the linebacker snaps against Philadelphia. McFadden's season comes to a close having recorded a career-best 107 tackles (60 solo), including eight TFLs and 3.0 sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 games, all starts. The 25-year-old linebacker has one year remaining on his rookie deal in 2025.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    McFadden (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: McFadden was sidelined for the Giants' Week 17 win over the Colts due to a neck injury sustained the week prior, and Wednesday's DNP likely suggests he's in jeopardy of missing additional time. The Indiana product almost certainly needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in the Week 18 divisional matchup against the Eagles.

  • Won't play Sunday

    McFadden (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: McFadden missed the second half of last Sunday's loss to the Falcons with the neck injury and will now be sidelined for Week 17. Ty Summers replaced McFadden against Atlanta and would seem to be next in line for linebacker snaps. The Giants are already without fellow starting inside linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) for the remainder of the season.

  • Dealing with neck injury

    McFadden was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a neck issue, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden didn't play in the second half of this past Sunday's loss to Atlanta due to the neck issue, and it appears the injury is still bothering him. The third-year linebacker's likelihood of suiting up Sunday versus Indianapolis should be clearer as the practice week progresses. Ty Summers saw his first significant defensive workload of the campaign following McFadden's exit against the Falcons, and he'd likely be in line to start if McFadden misses Week 17.

  • Notches double-digit stops again

    McFadden totaled 11 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 35-14 Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: McFadden finished second on New York in tackles behind Dane Belton (15). It was the second straight game in which McFadden tallied exactly 11 tackles, and he's now logged that specific total in four of his past six games. That makes him a viable fantasy asset for managers in IDP leagues.

  • Paces team in stops Week 14

    McFadden tallied 11 tackles (eight solo), including five for loss, in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: McFadden practically lived in New Orleans' backfield Sunday, as nearly half of his 11 tackles went for a loss. The linebacker logged exactly 11 stops for the third time in his past five contests, and he's now totaled double-digit stops four times overall on the campaign. That gives him a solid IDP ceiling, though it's worth noting that McFadden also have five or fewer tackles four times through 12 contests this season.

  • Racks up 11 stops in defeat

    McFadden tallied 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: McFadden recorded his third double-digit tackle total of the season and his second over his past three games. The linebacker's 11 stops were second on New York on Sunday behind only rookie Tyler Nubin's 12. McFadden dealt with a heel injury at the end of the week and entered Sunday deemed questionable to suit up, but he appeared to be fine and was active on defense for the Giants.

  • OK for Sunday

    McFadden (heel) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The starting inside linebacker appeared on the injury report Friday and missed practice, but he also told Dan Duggan of The Athletic that he expected to play. McFadden has 65 tackles (35 solo), including 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in nine games this season.

  • Dealing with heel injury

    McFadden (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden popped up on the Giants' injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to a heel issue, putting his status for Week 12 in question, although the linebacker told Dan Duggan of The Athletic he expects to play. If McFadden is sidelined Sunday, Ty Summers and Darius Muasau (hamstring) are likely to see increased work with the Giants' first-team defense.

  • Tallies seven tackles vs. Carolina

    McFadden registered seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: McFadden has logged at least five tackles in eight of nine regular-season games, and he's well on pace to reach 100 tackles for a second consecutive regular season. He's up to 65 combined tackles on the year, which is third-most on the Giants behind Bobby Okereke (75) and Tyler Nubin (69).

  • Totals 11 stops Week 9

    McFadden recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's loss to Washington.

    Analysis: McFadden led New York in stops and posted his second double-digit tackle tally of the campaign. The third-year linebacker logged 80 percent of the Giants' defensive snaps, his highest total since Week 2. McFadden has registered at least four tackles in all eight of his contests this season and has posted 58 tackles overall, including 2.0 sacks.

  • Ties for team lead in stops Week 4

    McFadden registered eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in Thursday's defeat against Dallas.

    Analysis: McFadden was a limited practice participant to begin the week due to a back injury, but he was able to suit up for the Thursday night game and logged 75 percent of New York's defensive snaps. After not seeing the field Week 1, McFadden has started each of the Giants' three games since and has averaged nine tackles while tallying 1.5 sacks during that span.

  • Suiting up Thursday night

    McFadden (back) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden sustained a back injury during the Giants' Week 3 win over the Browns, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he'll suit up Thursday night. Expect the 24-year-old to start alongside Bobby Okereke as part of the Giants' top inside linebacker duo in Week 4.

  • Limited on Monday's estimation

    McFadden (back) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden exited and returned to Sunday's win over the Browns due to a back injury, recording six total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, while playing 48 defensive snaps. His participation Tuesday and Wednesday will likely provide a better indication of whether the third-year linebacker will be able to suit up for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Cowboys.

    McFadden (back) has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

  • Questionable to return Sunday

    McFadden is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a back injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden walked off the field with training staff following a tackle on Jerome Ford. Ty Summers and Darius Muasau are candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Bobby Okereke while McFadden is sidelined.

    McFadden tallied 13 tackles (seven solo), including one sack, in a loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    Analysis: McFadden didn't see the field Week 1 against Minnesota, but he got the start Sunday with Darius Muasau out with a knee injury. McFadden took advantage of the opportunity with a team-leading tackle total that included a third-quarter sack of Jayden Daniels. McFadden did briefly leave the game with an injury in the second quarter, but he was able to return and finish out the contest. It remains to be seen how he'll be used moving forward, and Muasau's injury status could certainly play a part in…read more

  • Past groin injury

    McFadden (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McFadden was limited earlier in the week due to a groin injury, but it appears he's moved past the issue just in time for the Giants' regular-season opener Sunday. The 24-year-old is expected to line up alongside Bobby Okereke as part of the Giants' top inside linebacker duo in 2024.

    McFadden (groin) was limited during practice Wednesday, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McFadden was carted off the field during an Aug. 17 preseason game against the Texans and was considered week-to-week due to a hip injury, which has been reclassified as a groin issue ahead of Week 1. His ability to be on the field Wednesday puts him on a trajectory to potentially suit up Sunday against the Vikings, especially if he can ramp up his workload as the week moves along.

  • Avoids significant injury

    McFadden is considered week-to-week, according to head coach Brian Daboll, after he suffered a hip injury in Saturday's preseason game against Houston, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McFadden needed to be carted off the field, but it appears the injury won't derail his season. With more than two weeks until the Giants kick off their 2024 campaign against the Vikings on Sept. 8, the Indiana product may not miss any regular-season time.

    McFadden (hip) is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game at Houston, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: At this point, it's not clear just how serious the issue may be for McFadden. Until he's able to return to action, rookie sixth-rounder Darius Muasau could see an uptick in playing time.

  • Slated for big role in 2024

    McFadden is listed as a starter at inside linebacker on the Giants' initial unofficial depth chart, per Dan Salomone of the team's official site.

    Analysis: After making seven starts over 17 regular-season games in his rookie campaign, McFadden started 14 of his 16 contests last season. However, the two games in which he didn't start came late in the campaign (Week 16 and 17), with Isaiah Simmons taking his place in the lineup for those matchups. Simmons is undergoing a position change, though, as he's listed as a nickel corner on New York's initial depth chart. That should open the door for McFadden to hang onto a starting role, and he makes for a…read more

  • Sees increased role in Year 2

    McFadden played in 16 games during the 2023 season, recording 101 tackles (63 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with an interception and four recovered fumbles.

    Analysis: McFadden grew into a larger role in his second NFL campaign, tallying nearly 300 more defensive snaps despite playing in one fewer contest. The 2022 fifth-round draft pick ranked third on the Giants in stops and tied for the team lead with 12 tackles for loss. McFadden's strong season solidified his place in New York's plans moving forward, and with two years remaining on his rookie contract, he's set to return as a key piece of the team's defensive unit next season.

  • Tallies six stops Week 9

    McFadden recorded six tackles (three solo), including two for loss, in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: McFadden logged a season-high 80 percent of New York's defensive snaps and posted his highest tackle total since Week 6. The second-year linebacker has established a relatively reliable floor as an IDP, notching at least five stops in each of his eight games this year. McFadden has 54 tackles (31 solo) overall.

  • Part of two turnovers Sunday

    McFadden registered seven tackles (three solo), an interception and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 14-9 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: McFadden finished second on the Giants in tackles behind Bobby Okereke, who racked up 11. The linebacker duo also combined for a pair of turnovers -- Okereke punched the ball away from Gabe Davis and into the arms of McFadden in the first quarter, then batted a Josh Allen pass that McFadden corralled for an interception in the second. McFadden played 79 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest after missing Week 5 versus Miami due to an ankle injury.

  • Will play Week 6

    McFadden (ankle) is active against the Bills for Sunday Night Football.

    Analysis: McFadden has been dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out Week 5 versus Miami and led to him being deemed questionable entering this weekend. He was able to log a limited practice session Thursday and Friday, which was enough for him to suit up Sunday night. McFadden should reclaim his job as a starter, thus sending Isaiah Simmons back to a rotational role.

    Analysis: McFadden suffered the injury during practice Thursday, but he was able to take the field for a limited session Friday. Ultimately, the second-year pro still isn't ready to compete and will have to remain on the sidelines for Week 5. In his absence, Carter Coughlin is expected to get the start.

  • Tallies 10 tackles Thursday

    McFadden made 10 tackles (nine solo), including four for loss, in a Week 3 loss to the 49ers on Thursday.

    Analysis: McFadden shined in the nationally televised game, leading New York in tackles and stopping a San Francisco ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage on four different occasions. The linebacker didn't appear to show any ill effects from a neck injury that troubled him early in the week. McFadden already has two double-digit tackles efforts through three weeks after failing to reach that mark in any of his 17 games as a rookie last season.

    McFadden (neck) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: McFadden was listed as a limited participant on the team's first two injury reports of the week. The second-year pro played 75 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of the first two games, so it's not clear when he may have picked up the injury. With Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) already ruled out for the game, if McFadden is also unable to suit up, it'd be a blow to the team's linebacker corps.

  • Leading tackler in bad loss

    McFadden tallied 11 tackles (four solo), including one for loss, in Sunday's season-opening blowout defeat to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The Giants offense looked completely lost throughout the contest, though New York had the time-of-possession edge due largely to a pair of Dallas defensive touchdowns. There wasn't much the team's defense could do to prevent a blowout, though McFadden was able to put together a strong individual stat line with a team-leading 11 stops.

    McFadden is likely to begin the regular season as a starter despite the Giants' recent acquisition of Isaiah Simmons, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McFadden appears to have the edge on the depth chart over Darrian Beavers, who missed all of his rookie campaign last year due to a torn ACL. The versatile Simmons was brought in through a trade with the Cardinals on Thursday and is slated to also play linebacker, but Duggan expects McFadden to remain the starter in the base defense while Simmons likely works in sub-packages. McFadden's role is far from written in stone, though, so he'll need to make a good impression in order to remain with…read more

    McFadden finished the regular season with 59 tackles (36 solo), including two sacks, and forced one fumble over 17 games in his rookie campaign.

    Analysis: While McFadden played in every game for the Giants this season, there was a three-game stretch between Weeks 5 and 7 during which he logged a combined four defensive snaps. However, the rookie out of Indiana subsequently displaced Tae Crowder as a starter and played at least 40 percent of New York's defensive snaps in every contest from Week 8 onward.

    Analysis: McFadden tied with cornerback Fabian Moreau for the Giants' second-most tackles behind veteran linebacker Jaylon Smith. The rookie has now played at least 44 percent of defensive snaps in every game since the team's Week 9 bye. McFadden will look to build upon his 47 tackles this coming Sunday versus the Colts.

    Analysis: McFadden was forced out of the Giants' loss versus Philadelphia in Week 14 early with a neck injury, but it now appears he should be good to go Sunday night. The rookie fifth-rounder should step back in as a starting linebacker next to Jaylon Smith in Week 15.

    McFadden recorded nine tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble during the 20-20 tie against the Commanders on Sunday.

    Analysis: McFadden finished tied for second on the team in tackles and was also one of three players to force a fumble. The rookie fifth-round pick had the best game of his career, setting new highs in both tackles and snaps played.

  • Gets chance to start

    McFadden will start Sunday's contest against Houston in place of Tae Crowder, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Crowder is being benched, paving the way for McFadden to step into a starting role. The rookie fifth-round pick has totaled 14 tackles (10 solo) and one sack across 104 defensive snaps, but he'll likely have increased production as a starter.

  • Candidate for starting role

    McFadden could take over as a starter at inside linebacker in the wake of Blake Martinez's release, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Martinez was initially expected to play a three-down role for New York's defense this season, but the Giants will need to look for a replacement after they surprisingly released him Thursday. McFadden, who was a fifth-round pick in this year's draft, could slide in as a starter following a strong preseason. Even if he doesn't start, McFadden's role will almost certainly be boosted as a result of Martinez's departure.
