  • EXP 5 seasons
  • AGE 25-28
  • DEPTH RCB1

As of week 9, Greg Newsome II was a CB for NYG, age 26.3, 5 seasons of experience, drafted in round 1. In 2026 through week 8 he was listed at depth rank 1 on his club's depth chart; he had played 6 games on 91% of snaps; his line was 4.2 tackles a game, 0 sacks a game and 1 pass defended a game. Before 2026 he played 73 games (postseason included) over 5 seasons. His injury history held 19 episodes (concussion 3, shoulder 3, abdomen 2), 7 of them reaching OUT, 9 a repeat of an earlier site; the last was a concussion injury in 2026 week 7.

The full read

In short

How our call moved in week 9

  • our call, P(plays)

75% LIKELY → 79% LIKELY

Every call we wrote for him in week 9, earliest first, as written.

In short

Greg Newsome II is a starter at right cornerback for NYG — 100% of the snaps in his best week of 7. He has a concussion injury. His team named him inactive in week 7. His team has not listed him on the final report. We called him PLAY in week 7 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade C

P1 (Nov 6) describes him as one of the "starting outside cornerbacks" in the current week, which leans toward him playing, but it says nothing about his concussion or practice status.

What the read cites

What was reportedSource
1“A big reason for that has been the place of starting outside cornerbacks Deonte Banks and Greg Newsome II.”New York Giants · 2026-11-06
2“an established cornerback in the middle of his first season with the Giants”New York Giants · 2026-11-04
The reader's full reasoning

The rest of the reading

P5 (Nov 4) calls him "an established cornerback in the middle of his first season with the Giants" and mentions no injury, so it does not establish that he is cleared. Nothing in the passages overtakes the card's sit-risk signals (last game sat, return state not activated, no practice report), so I concur with PLAY on thin evidence but would not grade the call higher than C.

Our call

Injury report

His team's word: Questionable

This is the TEAM'S OWN ANNOUNCEMENT, not a reading of ours. His team filed him on the injury report and we are restating it so the record is complete. There is nothing early about repeating an announcement — what we say ahead of one is on the week's page. Source: his team's published inactive list, on the day.

No dated practice report for him in week 9

The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
