Freeman, who's been dealing with an ankle issue, left the field with a trainer during Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman logged a limited practice session Wednesday, so we'll have to see how the Giants list him Thursday and if this news is indicative of the running back having suffered a setback. If Freeman is unable to go Sunday against the Eagles, Wayne Gallman, Dion Lewis and Alfred Morris would presumably be the team's Week 10 backfield options.

Freeman (ankle) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite wrapping up last week with back-to-back capped practices, Freeman was ruled out for this past Sunday's game in Washington. As a result, getting in some activity Wednesday isn't necessarily a sign that a return to action is nigh. In any case, Freeman's status bears watching in the coming days to see if he has a chance to suit up Sunday against the Eagles. If he misses a third straight contest, though, the Giants are poised to roll with Wayne Gallman, Dion Lewis and Alfred Morris out of the backfield.

Freeman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Freeman sidelined for a second straight game, the Giants are left with Wayne Gallman and Dion Lewis on the active roster and Alfred Morris on the practice squad. Gallman led the group in carries (12) and snap share (43 percent) during Monday's loss to Tampa Bay, but Morris and Lewis also had offensive roles. Freeman's return to limited practice participation Thursday suggests he has a shot to return for Week 10 against the Eagles.

Freeman (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman's activity level was forecast after he took part in individual drills, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. It remains to be seen if Freeman will be able to get all the way back in time for Sunday's game at Washington, but if he doesn't the Giants will lean on Wayne Gallman, Dion Lewis and practice squad member Alfred Morris out of the backfield.

Freeman (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman hasn't practiced since suffering an ankle injury Week 7 at Philadelphia, but he still has two chances to prove his health in advance of Sunday's matchup with Washington. If he's unable to get all the way back, he'll yield his workload to a combination of Wayne Gallman, Dion Lewis and practice squad member Alfred Morris.

Freeman (ankle) will not play in Monday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' digital media team reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman was unable to practice all week, but the team was still holding out hope he would be able to suit up Sunday. However, the Giants have ultimately opted to err on the side of caution. As a result of the veteran back's absence, look for Wayne Gallman to get the start in the backfield, while Dion Lewis should also see some work.

Freeman (ankle) "has a chance to play" according to coach Joe Judge, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

We'll know more following the release of the team's final practice report later in the day, but for now this seems optimistic given the veteran running back has yet to practice all week. If Freeman can't suit up for the Monday night contest against the Buccaneers, expect Wayne Gallman and Dion Lewis to shoulder the offensive burden.

Freeman (ankle) missed Friday's practice and doesn't appear likely to play in Monday's game against Tampa Bay, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman got some extra time to recover after he was injured in a Thursday game, but it appears the three additional days won't be enough to allow for a recovery. Wayne Gallman is expected to serve as the Giants' lead ball carrier, though it can't be taken as a certainty unless the team officially rules Freeman out. The final injury report will be released at some point Saturday.

Freeman (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman tweaked his ankle last Thursday at Philadelphia, which didn't allow him to return to the game and also is keeping him sidelined to begin Week 8 prep. Instead, he worked out on the side Thursday, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Fortunately for the seven-year pro, Freeman has a pair of opportunities to get back on the field in advance of Monday's game versus the Buccaneers. That said, if Freeman is limited or absent, he'll yield RB reps to Wayne Gallman and Dion Lewis.

Freeman (ankle) was spotted working off to the side Thursday, suggesting that he'll be a non-participant in the Giants' first official Week 8 practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even with the benefit of a lengthier turnaround between games with the Giants hosting the Buccaneers on Monday this week following a Thursday night game against the Eagles in Week 7, Freeman doesn't appear to have made much progress in his recovery from the ankle injury he sustained in the loss to Philadelphia. The fact that he was at least working out to the side Thursday suggests his injury isn't significant, but Freeman will have to get some reps with the main group Friday or Saturday to have a realistic shot of playing Monday night. Wayne Gallman is the next man up in the backfield for the Giants after rushing 10 times for 34 yards and a touchdown while catching five balls for 20 yards in relief of an injured Freeman in Week 7.
