Evan Engram (knee) is a full participant in practice.

After nearly going on a short week last week, Engram should be ready to go for Monday night against the Falcons. Engram missed the last three games with his sprained knee, and the Giants are hoping his likely return gives the offense a jolt. Assuming there are no setbacks in the next few days, the second-year tight end will be an immediate TE1 option in a potential shootout to end Week 7.

Trent Taylor (back) is officially out against the Packers.

Taylor was listed as doubtful coming into tonight, so this was expected. Richie James could get a lot of work in the slot with Taylor out, but he’s a risky fantasy play.

The Giants have signed Corey Coleman to the practice squad, according to Dan Duggan.

Coleman showed enough in a workout yesterday to get signed, and hopefully he can display some consistency in practice to get promoted to the active roster for a team that needs help behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard. The 2016 first-round pick is still just 24-years-old, and Pat Shurmur’s offense is a good landing spot for him to potentially get his career back on track. Still, he’s unlikely to have redraft value in 2018.

Dan Quinn is hopeful that Calvin Ridley (ankle) will be able to play in Week 7.

Ridley’s MRI came back “pretty clean” according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and at the very least this doesn’t sound like something that would keep Ridley out for a few weeks. Consider the rookie receiver questionable for Week 7, and we’ll track his practice status throughout the week. The Falcons play on Monday night, so the week’s first official practice will be on Thursday.

Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to practice today.

Fournette looks doubtful for this Sunday against the Texans, as it looks more and more likely the second-year running back might just be out until after Jacksonville’s Week 9 bye week. We’ll see if Fournette can make progress to a limited practice tomorrow, though.

Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) is active for Week 6.

Garcon was fully expected to tough it out and play tonight against the Packers, and he is indeed. Garcon isn’t a highly-recommended FLEX option in fantasy lineups, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he has a solid game in a matchup the Niners might need to score a lot in.

John Ross (groin) practiced fully today.

Ross should be ready to go for Sunday night against the Chiefs, but we’ll update you if he has a setback. The second-year receiver has some FLEX appeal against Kansas City’s secondary in a potential high-scoring affair.
