Rudolph (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being limited by an ankle issue in practice Wednesday through Friday, Rudolph is ready to for Week 16 action. He doesn't garner much more than a few targets per game, but he could be a bit more involved Sunday on a Giants squad with three tight ends and potentially six wide receivers unavailable to the offense.

Rudolph (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old left the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Cowboys a little worse for wear and has opened the week with two consecutive limited practices. Rudolph still has one more practice Friday to prove his health ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, though the two limited efforts do bode well for his availability.

Rudolph (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph only had one target during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, which he secured for nine yards. The veteran tight end will have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level at practice ahead of Week 16's divisional matchup in Philadelphia.

Rudolph caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph played on just 43 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps in the contest. The veteran tight end does not see enough opportunity in a struggling offense to be considered anywhere near the fantasy radar.

Rudolph caught both of his targets for 66 yards Sunday against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
His 60-yard catch, during which he carried several Chargers on his back for extra yards a la Mark Bavaro, set up the team's first touchdown. Still, he's only a bit player in this low-end passing game.

Rudolph recorded two receptions for 18 yards on four targets Sunday in the Giants' 20-9 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
With two of their top receivers in Kadarius Toney (quadriceps/oblique) and Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) sitting out and with Kenny Golladay (ribs) checking out of the game for a spell, the Giants made frequent use of two-tight end sets Week 13, allowing Rudolph to see a fair amount of work behind the No. 1 option at the position, Evan Engram. Rudolph fell just one target shy of matching a season high, but his production was still rather hollow. He'll need to score a touchdown in most weeks to provide value, and since he's reached the end zone just once in his 11 appearances, he can't be counted on to do that with any regularity.

Rudolph (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph was questionable after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. However, he'll return after a one-game absence to serve as the Giants' second tight end. Even so, Rudolph could see quite a bit of time on the field with Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) and Kadarius Toney (quadriceps) inactive.

Rudolph (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph was able to log back-to-back limited practices Thursday and Friday, which gives him a chance to return from a one-game absence Sunday. However, if he is inactive, Chris Myarick could be in line for another turn as the No. 2 option at tight end behind Evan Engram, as Kaden Smith (knee) has already been ruled out.

Rudolph (ankle) practiced in limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a step in the right direction for Rudolph, who missed Wednesday's practice after sitting out last week's win over Philadelphia due to this injury. He'll likely be listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Miami on Friday's injury report barring an unexpected improvement or setback.

Rudolph (ankle) missed practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph sat out the Giants' Week 12 win over the Eagles with the same injury, so missing any practice time leading up to Week 13 is worth monitoring. With fellow tight end Kaden Smith (knee) also dealing with an injury, Chris Myarick could be looking at a significant boost in opportunity Sunday.
