Another rough season for the New York Giants is coming to a close and for their penultimate contest in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears they are expected to be severely shorthanded.

Giants center Billy Price is dealing with a personal matter that sounds dire. It could be Matt Skura, who got benched at left guard last Sunday, snapping to Mike Glennon on Sunday in Chicago.

Nate Solder is coming off the Covid list.

The Giants enter action having lost four in a row. At 4-11 overall, they have been eliminated from playoff contention.

In his third NFL season, Slayton is fourth on the team in targets (55) and fifth in receiving yards (310), while recording 24 receptions and one touchdown as well. Cunningham is in his fourth NFL season and first with the Giants, and has played in 11 games.

Cobb signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent last year and played in one game last season. He signed with the Giants practice squad in September but has yet to play in an NFL contest this season.
