NY Giants dealing with more injuries ahead of Panthers game

Straight up, things just haven't gone according to plan for the New York Giants this year. While the fans were hoping the team could turn a corner, the NFC East side is now 1-5 on the season.

This weekend, they'll host the 3-3 Carolina Panthers. That's right, Sam Darnold is all set to return to East Rutherford. Leading up to that tilt, NY is battling even more injuries for key players.

More bad injury news for the #Giants: TE Evan Engram (calf) did not practice, while WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was limited. Yikes https://t.co/KsiyCQ2jX3

Evan Engram and Sterling Sherpard are huge parts of the offense. It's up in the air if Saquon Barkley will play either with his ankle injury. Sunday could be a long day for the Giants.
