The New York Giants have dealt with plenty of injuries this season, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Two notable ones were to wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo.

Nabers, a second-year rising star, suffered a torn ACL during a Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Skattebo, a rookie, became a fan favorite during his time on the field and then suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament. His injury came during a Week 8 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart also missed time with a concussion but was fortunate enough to return to play this season, unlike the other two players.

In 12 games this season for Dart, he's recorded 1,835 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and five interceptions. He's also added 407 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.

As the Giants gear up for a Week 17 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, they shared their latest injury report.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, "The Giants have downgraded TE Theo Johnson (illness) and C John Michael Schmitz Jr. (finger) to out for tomorrow vs. the #Raiders. They won’t travel with the team."

Johnson hasn't practiced all week. Meanwhile, Schmitz Jr. was out on Wednesday and Thursday but was limited on Friday.

Dart is now set to take the field against the Raiders with an even more depleted offense compared to in previous weeks.

Kickoff between the Giants and the Raiders on Sunday is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET.
