New York Giants Rule Out Two Key Defenders In Week 18

The New York Giants have already clinched a playoff berth in 2022, and with one game before the playoffs begin, there's a chance that they rest some of their key starters, and through injury, they've already announced that two players will be missing the Week 18 divisional clash with the Philadelphia Eagles. 

On Friday, Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll officially announced that both Leonard Williams and Azeez Ojulari would be out for this game, and with their first playoff action since 2016 on the way a week later, it makes sense to have them completely healthy when it's needed most.

Under Daboll, this team has improved in every way thus far in 2022, especially this defence, and with the addition of Kayvon Thibodeaux, if they are to make a run through the tough NFC, it will be on the back of this defensive unit, if they can all be healthy.
