The New York Giants took the field on Wednesday for their first of three practices ahead of a Week 13 game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, this Monday night at 8:15 p.m. EST.
Beforehand, interim head coach Mike Kafka updated the status of several injured players, including rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who remains in concussion protocol.

"We had the same plan that we had last week. We'll kind of carry that into this week and then just really see what ends up happening throughout the process with Jaxson being in the protocol."
Kafka also revealed that nose tackle Dexter Lawrence is dealing with an elbow injury -- the same elbow that landed him on injured reserve (IR) last season.
"His elbow. Just the elbow from the game. Just being smart with it," Kafka said. "Just let him work through the rehab process. He's a vet that's taking care of his body. We just want to be smart with him."

"I'm not, the timetables and stuff like that, not really the forum to talk about that. But we have a good plan for him, and he's doing everything he can to get back," Kafka said.
An official injury report was not released on Wednesday, and only a projected injury report will be made available on Thursday.
