EDGE Analysis

Ebner didn't practice Wednesday and then was a limited participant Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise to see him inactive for Week 3. The 32-year-old safety has only contributed on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't have an effect on the Giants' defensive rotations.

EDGE Analysis

Ebner appeared in 16 games as a special-teams specialist for the Giants last year and was always expected to rejoin the team for 2021, but he wasn't re-signed to this point while recovering from offseason surgery and previously trying out for the United States Rugby Team in hopes of participating in the Tokyo Olympics.
