News

  • Comes on strong late in season

    Thibodeaux played in 14 games during his rookie campaign and tallied 48 tackles (32 solo), including four sacks, along with five defended passes, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a touchdown.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux missed New York's first two regular-season games after spraining the MCL in his right knee during the preseason. He made his NFL debut in Week 3 against Dallas and remained mostly healthy the rest of the way, though he got off to a slow start statistically with just 25 tackles, which included two sacks, across his first 11 contests. The Oregon product then had a breakout game on national television in a critical Week 15 win against Washington, recording a career-high 12 tackles, one…read more

  • Posts another strong performance

    Thibodeaux recorded five tackles (four solo), including one sack, and added a pass defense in the Giants' 38-10 win over Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux made his presence felt right off the bat in the matchup, stopping Zack Moss for a three-yard loss on the first play of the game. In the second quarter, Thibodeaux brought down Nick Foles (ribs) for one of two New York sacks in the contest. The rookie has drawn praise from the Giants' staff throughout the campaign, but he struggled to put up numbers on the stat sheet initially. That has changed over Thibodeaux's past three games, as he has racked up 23 tackles, two sacks, two pass…read more

  • Good to play Week 16

    Thibodeaux (elbow) does not carry any injury designation ahead of Saturday's game versus Minnesota.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was poked in the eye on his final play during Sunday's win over the Commanders, but this injury did not carry over into the Giants' injury report Week 16. Instead, the rookie-first round pick was limited with an elbow injury during each practice ahead of Saturday's game against the Vikings. Nevertheless, Thibodeaux will be ready to play despite this issue, as he'll look to build on the momentum from his 12-tackle performance against Washington on Sunday Night Football.

  • Monster performance in primetime

    Thibodeaux racked up 12 tackles (nine solo), including a sack and three tackles for loss, and returned a fumble he forced himself for a touchdown in the Giants' 20-12 win over the Commanders in Week 15.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux has drawn rave reviews by New York's coaching staff for his work this season, but his strong play didn't translate into big numbers until Sunday. The rookie more than doubled his previous season high with 12 tackles in the huge divisional win, and he turned the tide of the game with one play early in the second quarter. On a Commanders second-and-long from their own 10-yard line, Thibodeaux notched a grand slam of defensive stats, sacking Taylor Heinicke, forcing the QB to fumble,…read more

  • Registers second career sack

    Thibodeaux totaled five tackles (two solo), including one sack, in a Week 13 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux's five tackles were a career high and included his second sack as a pro. The takedown came late in overtime and was key in forcing a Commanders punt from deep in their own territory. While Thibodeaux hasn't put up big IDP numbers this season, the rookie has been a key player for New York, tallying at least two-thirds of the team's defensive snaps in each contest since Week 4.

  • Available Sunday

    Thibodeaux (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Lions, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux began Week 11 prep with a missed practice Wednesday and a limited session Thursday due to an illness, but he's since returned in full Friday and expects to handle his usual starting linebacker role Sunday versus Detroit.

  • Dealing with illness

    Thibodeaux (illness) followed Wednesday's DNP with a limited practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux's illness resulted in a missed practice Wednesday, but he appears to be feeling better given his ability to practice in a limited fashion Thursday. Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports that Thibodeaux's status is "nothing to be concerned about," so he should be on the field Sunday against the Lions.

  • Records first career sack

    Thibodeaux totaled three tackles, including a sack, along with a forced fumble in a 24-20 Week 6 victory over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was drafted fifth overall by the Giants in the 2022 NFL Draft with the expectation that he would significantly boost New York's pass rush. That vision finally came to fruition Sunday, as the rookie got to Lamar Jackson with under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to record a sack and force a fumble that essentially put the game away for the Giants. Thibodeaux has recorded three tackles in each of his past three games, but this was easily the high point of his first season…read more

  • Active in Week 3

    Thibodeaux (knee) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was considered questionable for Week 3 after participating in a limited fashion in practice, but he'll suit up for his first regular-season game Monday night. The No. 5 overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft sustained a sprained right MCL during the Giants' second preseason game, and he was sidelined for the first two weeks of his rookie campaign as a result. Expect Thibodeaux to start opposite linebacker Oshane Ximines while going against Dallas' depleted offensive line, which is…read more

  • Questionable for Monday's game

    Thibodeaux (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 3 versus Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The fifth overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft sustained a sprained MCL during the Giants' second preseason game and has yet to make his regular season debut as a result. He's trending in the right direction after practicing in a limited capacity this week though, and he'd be in line to start across from Oshane Ximines if he can go Monday. If not, Tomon Fox should continue to see increased reps on the edge.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Thibodeaux (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Giants' injury report Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft suffered a sprained right MCL during the team's second preseason game against the Bengals, which ultimately forced him to watch the Giants' first two games from the sidelines. Although Thibodeaux has been a limited participant in practice since the first week of September, it seems like he might finally make his highly anticipated pro debut Monday against the Cowboys, given the extra day to rest. Friday's and Saturday's practice reports should…read more

  • Will sit again

    Thibodeaux (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was limited in practice all week, and the team continues to take a cautious approach with their prized first-round selection from the 2022 Draft. He'll work to suit up Week 3 when the Giants host the Cowboys.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Thibodeaux (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was a limited participant at practice all week, and it doesn't look like he'll make his NFL debut in Week 2. The dynamic rookie said he was confident he'd be ready earlier in the week, but the Giants will continue to proceed with caution. Thibodeaux suffered an MCL sprain in his right knee during the Giants' second preseason game and has progressed through rehab quickly. When available, he figures to be a key piece of New York's linebacker corps.

  • Expects to play Sunday

    Thibodeaux (knee) is confident that he'll be able to play in Sunday's matchup against Carolina, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux suffered an MCL sprain in his right knee during the Giants' second game of the preseason, and he was unable to play in Week 1 of the regular season against Tennessee. However, the dynamic rookie has been able to practice in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday this week and appears to have a legitimate chance to make his professional debut Sunday against Carolina. "Getting close," Thibodeaux said Thursday. "Like I said, trying not to look too far -- what is today? Today is…read more

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Thibodeaux (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Giants' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux, who was sidelined during the Giants' season-opening win over the Titans, appears to still be recovering from an MCL sprain that he suffered in mid-August. In his stead, Jihad Ward recorded six tackles over 53 defensive snaps in Week 1. The veteran defensive end could once again see a prominent role if Thibodeaux is still unavailable this coming Sunday versus Carolina.

  • Inactive as expected Week 1

    Thibodeaux (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 clash against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The much-heralded rookie will start his career in street clothes after sporting a doubtful designation coming into the day. Given his importance to the defense, Thibodeaux is likely to be handled with care but will presumably have a chance to make his debut in a Week 2 clash against the Panthers next Sunday.

  • Listed as doubtful for Week 1

    Thibodeaux (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's season opener against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 Draft, sprained his MCL during the team's second preseason contest and was expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks. Sunday's season opener would mark exactly three weeks since the injury transpired, but the Giants have remained cautious with their star pass rusher. Thibodeaux was limited at each practice this week and is expected to go through a pregame workout Sunday, but he'll likely have to wait until at least Week 2 to make his NFL regular-season debut.

  • Expected to be game-time decision

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Thibodeaux (knee) will likely be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Titans, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: The No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft sustained a sprained MCL during the team's second preseason contest against the Bengals and was expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks. Sunday's season opener would mark exactly three weeks since the injury transpired, but the Giants have remained cautionary with their star pass rusher. Thibodeaux has been limited at practices this week and will likely go through a pregame workout before his status for Week 1 is revealed.

    Thibodeaux (knee) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was limited for a second straight practice, and his status for Week 1 remains unclear. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft sustained a sprained MCL during the team's second preseason contest against the Bengals and was expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks -- Sunday's season opener would mark exactly three weeks since the injury transpired.

    Analysis: Per Stapleton and Leonard, Thibodeaux participated in mostly stationary individual drills while wearing no pads, though he was sporting a protective brace around his right leg. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft sustained a sprained MCL during the team's second preseason contest against the Bengals and was expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks -- Sunday's season opener (Sept. 11) would mark exactly three weeks since the injury transpired.

    Head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Thibodeaux (knee) is considered day-to-day, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: The No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft sustained a sprained MCL during the team's second preseason contest against the Bengals, putting his status for Week 1 against the Titans up in the air. Thibodeaux's timetable for a return to game action was previously set at 3-to-4 weeks, and New York's first exhibition on September 11 marks exactly three weeks since the injury transpired.

  • Will get second opinion on knee

    Thibodeaux will visit Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his right MCL sprain, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was diagnosed with a right MCL sprain and is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks. While the rookie pass rusher is slated to get a second opinion, Fowler relays that no major surprises are expected to come from the visit. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft hasn't officially been ruled out for Week 1, but the Giants are expected to remain cautious with their first-round pick.

  • Suffers MCL sprain

    Initial tests indicate that Thibodeaux suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday's preseason game against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that Thibodeaux's ACL and meniscus are intact and that the No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is potentially looking at a 3-to-4 week recovery time frame. That said, the Giants haven't ruled out the possibility that Thibodeaux could bounce back quick enough to be available in time for Week 1 action.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Thibodeaux has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's preseason game against the Bengals due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux sustained his knee injury while being blocked early in the second quarter Sunday. The cart was brought out for him, but he was ultimately able to limp off the field before being examined in the medical tent. Although the 2022 first-rounder went to the locker room to be further examined, he was joking with teammates prior to leaving the sidelines. The severity of Thibodeaux's injury isn't yet clear, and his status for next Sunday's preseason finale against the Jets remains to be seen.

  • Shining in camp so far

    Thibodeaux has stood out as a force in training camp, Steve Serby of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: There were some questions about Thibodeaux's focus and personality prior to the draft, but he's dispelled those concerns thus far, according to Serby. The rookie praised defensive coordinator Wink Martindale for his success in camp, saying, "Wink is doing a great job of putting me in different spots, putting me in different positions to show my talent and then just keep working." Unsurprisingly, Thibodeaux is listed as the team's starting edge rusher on their initial unofficial depth chart.

  • Will be ready for training camp

    Thibodeaux (hip) said, "I'm fully healthy -- I'll be ready to go for training camp," during an interview with NFL Network on Monday, Brooke Cersosimo of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux sustained a minor hip injury during spring practice, which resulted in him wearing a non-contact jersey for OTAs and minicamp. However, it doesn't look like the issue will hinder the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft from making an impact in Week 1. He racked up nine sacks and 14 tackles for loss as a true freshman at Oregon, but he struggled to stay on the field during his final two collegiate seasons.

  • In non-contact jersey for minicamp

    Thibodeaux (undisclosed) will remain in a non-contact jersey for the Giants' minicamp this week, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Thibodeaux is still nursing an injury. There is plenty of time for the rookie to return to the field prior to the start of the 2022 season, or even by the beginning of training camp at the end of next month.

  • Still in non-contact jersey

    Thibodeaux (undisclosed) remains in a non-contact jersey, but the team is hopeful for a training camp return, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux got twisted up at OTAs a couple weeks ago, leaving him in a non-contact jersey ever since. Head coach Brian Daboll said Thursday that the 2022 first-round pick will "hopefully" be ready to go for training camp at the end of next month.

  • Practicing in non-contact jersey

    Thibodeaux is practicing in a non-contact jersey Thursday for an undisclosed reason, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Thibodeaux was selected by the Giants with the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, but he's apparently dealing with an injury during OTAs. The nature of the 21-year-old's injury isn't clear, but coach Brian Daboll didn't sound concerned about the linebacker's long-term availability. Assuming he's healthy to begin the regular season, Thibodeaux should take on a prominent role as a rookie.
