News

  • Cleared to face Atlanta

    Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive lineman got in a round of limited practices this week and will be back in the lineup after missing the previous two contests. He started the previous 12 games and has logged 45 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five QB hits and two defensed passes this season.

  • Practices in limited fashion

    Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Wednesday's limited practice session suggests Nunez-Roches could be in line to return for the Giants' Week 16 matchup against the Falcons after he missed the team's previous two games due to neck and shoulder injuries. However, his participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play Sunday. If Nunez-Roches misses his third game in a row, expect Casey Rogers to serve as one of the Giants' top defensive ends.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches will miss his second consecutive game, the first two absences he's logged through the 2024 regular season. With the veteran defensive end unavailable, New York will have to rely on Casey Rogers and Elijah Garcia to handle increased defensive roles versus Baltimore.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches' absence from Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise, as the veteran defensive lineman missed the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints due to neck and shoulder injuries. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 15, when the Giants host the Ravens.

  • Ruled out for Week 14

    Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches suffered neck and shoulder injuries during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys. The injuries prevented him from practicing all week, and the 2015 sixth-round pick will shift his focus toward returning for Week 15 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 15. The Giants' defensive front has been decimated by injuries, so with Nunez-Roches sidelined, Dexter Lawrence (elbow) on injured reserve and D.J. Davidson (shoulder) unlikely to play Sunday, Cory Durden -- who the Giants…read more

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches is still banged up coming out of the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys this past Thursday. He'll have two more chances to return to practice field before the Giants decide on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

  • Won't return vs. Dallas

    Nunez-Roches (neck) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches was quickly ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game after suffering a neck injury. Jordon Riley and Elijah Chatman will be the two lone defensive linemen for the Giants for the rest of Sunday's game due to injuries to Nunez-Roches, D.J. Davidson (shoulder) and Dexter Lawrence (elbow).

  • Leaves game due to stinger

    Nunez-Roches (neck) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches joined Dexter Lawrence (elbow) and D.J. Davidson (shoulder) as the third Giants defensive lineman to suffer an injury Thursday. Nunez-Roches struggled to the sideline following the injury and was evaluated by trainers in the blue medical tent. Jordon Riley and Elijah Chatman are the only healthy defensive lineman for the Giants due to injuries to Nunez-Roches, Lawrence and Davidson.

  • Posts 26 stops over 16 games

    Nunez-Roches recorded 26 tackles (14 solo), including a half-sack, over 16 contests during the 2023 campaign.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches was brought in during the offseason to serve as veteran depth along New York's defensive line. He filled that role as expected, notching the second-highest tackle total of his nine-year career while missing just one game. Durability has been a strength of Nunez-Roches' -- he's missed just two regular-season contests over the past five campaigns -- but he's not much of a pass-rusher and isn't looked to as a difference-maker on defense. His contract goes through 2025, and it's likely…read more

  • Set to return Week 17

    Nunez-Roches (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches had been battling a knee injury that held him out of the Giants' Christmas Day affair, but it now seems that he's had enough time to move past the issue. The 30-year-old has totaled 21 tackles, including one tackle for loss, across 14 appearances this season, and he'll likely serve as a rotational defensive lineman in Week 17.

  • Won't play Week 16

    Nunez-Roches (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old began New York's week of practice with consecutive DNPs, making it no surprise that he's since been ruled out for Monday's affair. With Nunez-Roches in line to miss his first game of the season, expect D.J. Davidson to see increased work on the Giants' defensive line.

  • Misses practice

    Nunez-Roches (knee) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches had four tackles and played his typical workload Sunday against the Saints, but he appears to have also gotten banged up along the way and is now dealing with a knee injury. The veteran defensive tackle will likely need to get back on the field Friday or Saturday to suit up Monday against The Eagles.

  • Sees first preseason action

    Nunez-Roches (groin) tallied one tackle in a preseason loss to the Jets on Saturday.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches made just a brief appearance with 10 snaps, but his presence on the field was significant since he sat out the Giants' first two exhibition games. It appears that the veteran nose tackle will be ready to go for New York's regular-season opener Sept. 10 against Dallas. He's expected to play a rotational role along the team's defensive line.

  • Battling another injury

    Nunez-Roches (groin) sat out Tuesday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches, who dealt with a concussion earlier in training camp, is sidelined once again by a different injury. The veteran defensive lineman had stints with Kansas City and Tampa Bay before signing a three-year deal with New York this offseason. Once the 30-year-old returns to action, expect him to work as a rotational player for the Giants' defense ahead of the coming season.

    Nunez-Roches (concussion) worked with the the first-team defense in practice Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Sunday that Nunez-Roches (concussion) will be at practice in a non-contact jersey, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches was involved in a car accident Tuesday but escaped serious injury. He will return as a full participant once he clears concussion protocols.

  • Involved in car accident

    Nunez-Roches is in concussion protocol following a car accident Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches escaped serious injury, but the Giants are being cautious with the defensive lineman. He was held out out of practice Wednesday and will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before rejoining his teammates on the practice field.

  • Heading to New York

    Nunez-Roches is in line to ink a three-year deal with the Giants, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches has been in the league eight years, including the last five with the Buccaneers. He posted 33 tackles and two sacks last season, which were career highs. The 29-year-old defensive tackle is expected to play rotational snaps behind Dexter Lawrence. Unless he's needed to fill in should Lawrence miss time, Nunez-Roches will be a low-ceiling IDP option.

    Nunez-Roches tallied four tackles (three solo), including one sack, during the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns in Week 12.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive tackle established a new career high in tackles with Sunday's tally, which put him at 22 stops for the season. Nunez-Roches now also has a career-best two sacks in 2022, and he continues to put together reasonably productive efforts in his rotational role.

  • Staying in Tampa Bay

    Nunez-Roches re-signed with the Buccaneers on a two-year, $5 million deal Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The offseason strategy for Tampa Bay is clear as the franchise pursues a Super Bowl repeat; bring everybody back. While Nunez-Roches signing a new contract may be a less-publicized transaction compared to those of defensive stars Lavonte David and Shaquil Barrett, the 27-year-old nevertheless joins a growing list of would-be free agents who GM Jason Licht has managed to retain from last year's roster. Nunez-Roches started all four of Tampa Bay's postseason games in January and February,…read more

  • Stays with Tampa

    Nunez-Roches (foot) is re-signing with Tampa Bay on a one-year, $2.25 million contract, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Nunez-Roches came off the bench for Tampa last season, recording nine tackles on 293 defensive snaps in 16 games. He'll probably end up in a depth role again, but he could get a shot at a starting job if the Bucs don't sign a replacement for free agent Ndamukong Suh. There hasn't been any indication that Nunez-Roches' foot injury from Week 17 was serious.
